I was about 5 years old when i first learned how to use a computer. It wasn't anything super, just how to click the icons and whatnot. I used to play minesweeper a lot.

I was around 50 years old when I learned to use the computer. It was probably easier for you at 5 than me at 50! :) (I could never win minesweeper)

Your never too old to learn! I think that it's really important for people to learn no matter what age.

That seems a little bit old for someone who is around my age. Did you only get a computer when you were 12 years old? Or did your parents just not trust you with using the computer? Did you first learn to use the computer at school, or at home?

I don't remember exactly. I was in grade school when I started messing around with really old Mac computers. I was probably in sixth grade by the time I really started to get the hang of it.
