How did you learn?

I bought first, then went to college. When I attended my first class I was proud of myself that I knew how to turn it on.

Basically I am self taught. I started learning about twenty years ago. My kids had computers in school and so we had one at home and I began using it.

I was in my late 20's when I caught on to the internet via university in the late 1980's

I started to use an Apple II in 1979, I was still pretty young, 29 years old. We did not attend classes, we bought books and learned by ourselves. My husband even became an Apple developer.

I was in my sixties after I retired from my job.

No one taught me much at all just picked it up on my own. Even today if I have a question I may ask my son. I was probably on them since the late 80s I am guessing.

I learned from books and practiced it since 2003.

I did attend a few classes when Windows was nowhere on the scene and that knowledge did not help. I took the help of a friend who was a teacher to get the hang of windows and also bought a book 'windows for dummies' Have gone a long way now and I could call myself a pro if what I do now is any indication (lol)

We were taught and trained in school. Computer course is part of the school's curriculum in Ph schools starting high school.

Vince introduced a computer into his business in a small country town in the late 1970s. It was the first one in the town. But I didn't have much to do with it at that time. Later I did word-processing as part of a course and later used a number of different programs in my job.

I was 32, my Dad got Mike and I started with the basics. We learned everything else as we move along with it.

I was already in colkege when computer was started in my place... you know the use of DOS or disc operating system to start the computer.

When I was kid I used to sit near my brother sometimes sister... they used to play games and do their assignments on the computer so I learned the very basics like switching on and off...apart from the that I've learned everything thing on my own... sometimes I do make the computer go crazy..lol...oh and my high school taught me programming...

During my last year of elementary school, the school received one Apple. However, I did not learn how to use a computer until after high school.

I was a young yuppie back then. No internet in my place and have no idea what it was before. Then the office introduce it to us. From there I learn the basics of email and later on browsing the net. After some months there was a young entrepreneur who offered the net to the public. During those years it was still dial up modems are the trend. You will have to hang up your telephone and dial them to connect.. Then the rest was history.

The first computer learning I did was in high school. We had an assignment in physics class to write a program to instruct the computer to spell our name. I don't remember how many punch cards it took took, but it was dozens. Years later, I learned how to use a PC when I returned to college in 1988, after a tour in the military, and first used the internet around 1990ish.

High school I think. And tge rest is history

I was already in my fifties when I started computering. At my school, an introduction into the topic was offered for teachers who were beginners. I was a genuine beginner but as it turned out the only honest person in the course. All the other participants already knew the basics. I felt cheated. I hired a pupil I knew but I didn't teach any more and told him to answer my questions but not to explain anything I didn't have to know. Men love showing off and I didn't need that. He behaved well and helped me a lot. I gave him some money and we were both happy. He came again whenever I needed help. He hasn't been here for a long time. Meanwhile he has finished his studies and probably doesn't live with his parents any more. But he has a younger brother should there ever be another crisis ...

I learned in the late 1980s when it was all starting out. Not sure who showed me.

We had computer classes as part of our curriculum and everyone was always excited to use the air conditioned rooms.
