In my home everyone knows. My father, mother and myself. Evenone though they are not experts. I could see that reading and writing ability is 100% in some States or locaity. May be if computer literacy is too achieved 100%, it would be wonderful, so that this technology could be used well to shorten the distance between nations and nations and used in many required places so that many works could be done easily. But be sure that these computers do not get damaged or out of order.

Everyone in my house knows how to use the computer. We all enjoy surfing the internet and playing computer games. There always seems to be someone doing something on the computer at my house. Computers are a great invention of modern technology. i can't see life without it.

Yes, mostly everyone in our household knows how to operate a computer. Even my three year old knows how to touch the mouse pad to make it move and come back to life. My 8 and 4 year old is good with knowing about how to operate this laptop.

I learned a lot of computer stuff from my father. He is an electronics engineer. My boyfriend used to be an IT tech for a company.

We are a family of four and each one of us has a computer, which we insist on taking with us when we go somewhere! I guess we are all addicted to computers, although I don't necessarily see that as something negative, on the contrary, as computers allow people to be creative and inventive!

The opportunity to study both with online tutorials and communication via the world wide web has endless possibilities. To bring people closer together is a great idea. To allow those less fortunate have even a basic education as well is just wonderful .

I know how to use the computer, so did my husband although he was not as good as I was. My sons both can operate their computers but they are both married and have their own houses. The older one is a computer geek. We range from beginning-intermediate, to me and my younger son, intermediate, and to my older, expert. I do not if using computers is going to bridge understanding between nations, but in the case of email and using telephony, it would make it easier to talk to someone across the globe if both speak the same language. I mean there are things that one can expect, but I would not depend on computers bringing world peace. But it would make it easy not having to mail a letter and wonder if they got it.

My generation grew up together with computers. My stepfather knows software engineering. My mother has been frequenting chatrooms ever since MIRC has been the new black. And that's where they met: online. My two brothers grew up addicted to computers. When stepfather purchased a computer for my mom, I started being addicted to it as well. Three of us in the family have been in the Computer Science-related fields. Mom had to learn trouble-shooting and reformatting (including partitioning) since dad is out of the country most of the time. All of us in the family know beyond the basics of using a computer.

Yes...everyone in my house is very familiar with computer. My 16 year old has been doing power point presentations in her classes for a couple of years now. She took that option versus an all out speech. I do think that access to computers is very important for the future.

Hi Shamrack, Yes we are all computer literate. My two kids, our helper and of course me know how to use the computer and explore the net. However it's only me and my hubby who used to do the trouble shooting.

Hi SHAMTRACK, other than my husband's elder sister, all the members of our family know to operate a computer. She has interest watching tv program only Nowadays we depend on computer with internet connection to link with others locally or abroad. It doesn't matter in whatever field. We could hardly see any personnel working in a office, at counter, etc working without any computer available there. Computer is the most essential device to me. I would be handicapped if my laptop is out of order for I depend a lot on my pc. My husband just spends a short while reading the latest online local news every evening. Therefore he is not as good as the rest of the members of the family when operating a computer Happy posting

At our home, definitely not 100%. I'm living with my oldies aging 80 & 75. They could just read pocket book for computer would be so much complicated for them. They are oftenly forgetful, so probably teaching them the process of only having an account for email would be a difficult task for me, and for sure it would only add expenses of repairing so often..lol. But for most of my relatives, even at the early ages seem more sophisticated than I am. Actually, that's my primary reason, I have no choice but to learn even a simple thing about this not to be left behind..lol.

In our house, everyone is computer literate. Plus one of us can build a system, and fix 'em up too. In a house of six people, we have one PC, and three laptops! :)

In my house the only person that doesn't know how to use a computer is my mother, just because she never used, and to learn to used now will be very difficult.

oh the proportion of the computer literacy is low in my home,My parents do not good at the computer as they are not ready to receive the new technology,so they cannot enable to the computer like their TV or newspaper smoothly. the computer, through which we can receive the information and comment our ideas ,plays an signifigent role in our modern life.If we cannot step along the trend,the only result is the one that we has been defeated by the increasing society.the solution that our families can accept the computer and can make good use of it is to have them surf the world by computers and Internet by themselves,I think only in the that way can they solve the problem.
