Who Taught You On How To Use The Computer?

I was in 3rd year high school when I got a subject for computer, I can still remember, we are using win95 that time.

I learned at school over 25 years ago, computers were a little bit different then. I took the subject on as it was new and I didn't need any previous qualifications to start the course. I loved the hands-on prgramming part of the course, but was a little less-excited about learning about the electronics... I have been using computers ever since, I have used mainframe computers that had no screen but printed on a teletype and stored information on ticker-tape, and some of the first desktop computers that worked in MS_DOS (before windows) - they had no hard-drive and just had 5.25" floppy drives. I had a PC that loaded software from cassette tape and one with no hard-drive but with 3.5" floppy drive that booted in DOS (again pre-windows) and bought my first PC with Windows about 13 years ago...that one had a 8GB hard drive. I currently have two complete PC's and one that I am splitting up to sell on eBay, my current PC's each have more than 500GB hard drive space... Even my Mom has a laptop and enjoys sending emails and browsing the web (and she is in her 70's)

I was taught how to use a computer at school, also in third grade. We were taught on how to use certain programs like Microsoft Paint and Microsoft Word. My teacher also taught us how to create flowcharts and we dealt with it half the year. It was fun. My grandmother doesn't know how to use a computer since she doesn't have one at her home. Although that's her case, she's very open to cellphones and sending SMS. She's really quite a texter too. :) If they have the opportunity to learn these new techy gadgets, our grannies and gramps could easily learn them.

I Use Computer for the first time was when i still in Elementary School, i used it to play Video Games and type some paper. it's because my parent have a Personal Computer.

i used electric typewriter back in high school. didnt feel the nessecity of computer that time. we decided to have one in college since it's getting more complicated coz of the research demands plus the fact that my 4 year old little brother knew better than i do, lol! now, we all have laptops. ü

I like teaching myself alot of things. So when I came accross the computer I taught myself how to use it. At first I really didn't know how to use the mouse? Surprisingly I found it out. It's intresting how I learn my own ways. LOL! ( .

I taught myself to use the computer. I just try to learned it on my own with the assistance of my sister and teachers of course.

i learned to use pc long back, i mainly used to watch my bro use pc and gave myself a try and started to use pc, back then there were no pc's at my school..

I learn computer from computer class and through my inquisitiveness to explore the various softwares until I learn to install programs and troubleshooting repairs. My hands on training is rarely done in schools and I learn it most from OJT in an office where the staff boy taught me some basic computer lesson and on-hands training using the mouse, printer and connecting cables. Then, learn to type and the same times surfing the net. I find my tutor sweet and patience to teach me..lol..

I started out playing computer games first! That's how most of my friends learned how to use the PC too!

I first learned computers in my last year of school, but this was in 1988 and anything I learned then was totally irrelevant the next time I got onto a computer, which was 10 years later. At that time I purchased a 4 mb (yes it was only 4 megabytes of RAM...lol) computer for a course that I was doing, so that I could type and print projects. It was only just 4 to 5 years ago that we first purchased a 'real' computer that could go online and at this time my wife and I started teaching ourselves computer skills through trial and error and talking to more experienced friends. It has been a rapid learning curve for us over the last few years and we are still learning lots every day! We jumped into the deep end a few years back, when I left my job and started working online. This caused us to have to learn rapidly to survive...lol

I started learning computer when I was a kid. back in the fourth grade we had this computer class as part of the extra curriculum study, back then it was just the use of big floppy disk and computers were newly cool to me, there are times i even played games too there. it was also the first time I was awarded best in computer but i didn't succeed after wards..that was the first moments i learned to use computer.

I took up computer programming in a technical school but I had already known basic computer skills, the old DOS skill since high school. We already owned a computer, the old PC-XT (wonder if you knew it)way back then, given to my elder sister by my uncle. I studied it on my own and had learned some little skills before I even went to the technical school. My elder sister also taught me some skills. Regarding Windows OS today, my interest in computer has driven me to study and learn it on my own since we didn't study it in the technical school.

My cousin starts teaching me computer after my exams of 10th class. He just trains me little but very healthy. Then i joined a friends namely Tariq. We share every information about computer with each other. This way, we are now fully equipped with the information of computer software and hardware. I did not join any institute for computer learning. We use internet and got a lot. We have one internet connection, using both through networking. Now he is also doing work on mylot in his home. Due to non-institutional training, we both are serving our fellows free of cost.

I went to an institute to learn the word,excel and power point while my wife was away to visit her sister abroad.I am happy that I spent those days in a very useful way.I have saved a lot of time in trying to learn these things myself.

well, in like 1983 i had a co-worker explain how one of the older word processors work and before that I did keypunch a few times, but home computers really didn't enter my life until my mom got one. I did have a few courses in a few programs (mostly word perfect) at work, but other than that, I've mostly had to self learn...

No one taught me. I taught myself back in the 80's when I was in college. I bought a computer and learned DOS. There was no one to teach me. I read the manual. This was in the old days before Windows and before the mouse. You had to tell the computer everything you wanted it to do. Nothing was automatic. When Windows came out, I had a hard time transitioning to it. I was used to the old system were I controlled everything. My computer was top of the line back then. I had a 20 MG hard disk. I was told there was no way I could ever fill up a disk that large. ya right.. LOL. And the Internet was still an infant. You had to dial a different phone number for each site. This was right after the dinosaurs became extinct. I'm old... The ball game you remember might have been Pong. That was one of the first games mass marketed.

Even do we have a computer subject when i was in college. This is only about computer not the actual using of computer. We only learn about logic circuitry since my course is in Engineering. I just learn to use computer by my self. Since I am very much interested to learn computer I mad my own self-study to learn how to use computer and this is also because my interest in computer technology where I repair computer sometimes and need to learn how to use computer to repair some damage program... So, I can say that I learn use by self-study. Have a nice day!

it's really a little unbelievable that i began leaning computer when i was in the university. but now, even the 2 year-old child around me can use the computer. the society here really advance forward very very fast.

I was about 54 , maybe 55 when I taught myself how to use a computer. My husband bought me one for Christmas and it took me til March to hook it up. I remember I was sooooooooo scared of it too ! But, I also had a friend who was available via phone who taught me how to do email. now, that did it !! I was hooked :) This is my second computer and my third is a laptop that I don't much about using, but I have it for just in case :) I have no other family that does know how to use computer. Even my hubby who bought my first one, doesn't know how to turn one on :)
