what was the first thing you learned about computers?

I learned by doing various things for school. I saw computers actually "evolve" so everything I did was self-taught. I first learned to use the computer's keyboard to play gamdes like dragon maze and space invadors. while learning how to type. learning to use the mouse came later (mice hadn't been invented yet) and then I eventually progressed to browsing the web and learning how to type "correctly". (I took a class during my first year of high school as a requirement). And, the rest was history.

It was for work, a program called Symphony by Lotus, it was similar to Lotus 123 (somewhat like Excel) but it had word processing and database incorporated into it.

Hi, I remembered when I first used computer was in middle school, and that computer was really old model, in computer class I first used it, but still exciting about that, the computer teach we use the software called paint, to do some homework, and we began to draw on the computer, still have a lot of fun.

As far as I am concerned, I began to use the computer when I was about ten years aol. The first I learn aboutt the computer is how to turn on the computer then off.That is the first I learn about the computer. And the next, I just learn something about how to play compuyer games which give me a lot of fun in my childhood.

The first thing I learned about computer was programming through DOS. Fell in love with it and I eventually took a course of computer programming in college. Sadly, I wasn't able to continue this passion because I took a job as a banker after graduating. DOS programs are still available in my current job.

i started using computers from my school. I was taught to turn on and turn off the computer in school.During our lab classes we played a lot of mario and prince. This helped us in using a lot of keyboard. Then we used to play other games using mouse such as minsesweepers helping us use the mouse. Then in the next year we started more serious stuff like word etc etc... This was how i started using the computer... It was really fun using and great experience.

I started by playing games too. I played Bookworm, Mystery Case and Zuma. I did find it hard to learn on how to use the mouse but in time i got used to it. Then, slowly i built up the confidence to try other things on the net too. Now, i enjoy being on the net using my pc at home and doing my work at the office.

At the very beginning of my computer learing, i was instructed to do paint some kind of scenary painting. Then i played games like Dove, mario, prince of parisa, alladin ki chirag etc. Then i was introduced to do some tying in MS Word. But i have a special interest for Animation. This is all about my introduction to Computer.

i leanrt how to break a keyboard

The first thing I learned? It was how to play that pinball game pre-installed on most computers, you know the one that opened up with the man in the spaceship? Many good times were had

I got my first computer in 1998 and it still had Windows 95 on it. I learned how to use it by playing my only game, Timon and Pumba's jungle games. Then I started typing things for school and home and I had quite a lot of fun. I know computers really well now because I was the first one in my family and even of my friends, to start using the computer so I can do things they can't do because I've already read about them or tried them. I was always really confident about my computer skills, especially after realizing that the same thing I can do at home, a repairman can do and he then charges you 50 euros or something.

i think i probably learned how to atart and play games like solitaire and using the notepad...i was confident oly abt one thing.. playing games!!lol

The first thing I've learned was some combination in DOS, that now I don't remember at all. Then I started to learn Word and Exel. Internet was some years later :).

The first thing I learned to do on a computer was word processing. This was back in the year 1985, and the computer I was utilizing had two floppy drives and no hard drive. I took a word processing course at a college and also asked my father who was an engineer for some instruction. Then, the main thing that helped me was just reading the computer manuals. Trial and error and reading was what got me through to different levels of computing.

Oh, I'm going to show my age now! The first thing I learned how to do on the computer was how to look at the directory in DOS. After that I taught myself to write some computer code so that I could store names and phone numbers on that computer. That computer did not have games...it did not even have Windows.

I got my first computer when I was 14. It was a very simple computer. I was able to write a little bit, but most of all I used my computer to play games. My father helped me install the games, and the rest of the things I learned by trying and experimenting. My brother and I usually played games together, and we had a lot of fun. It took such a long time for the games to load, and sometimes it didn't work. When I was 16 I got another computer and I learned how to write, save my documents etc. Some of I learned on my own and some of it I learned at school. My German teacher knew a lot about computers, and he sometimes helped us.

I first learned to operate the DOS and tried to install equipment in the computer. At that moment I did not have a mouse and just to try the commands available in DOS. Viruses have been around before, but there is no way to prevent and clean up.

I learned how to use a computer when I was 10 years old when we had a computer class at school. The first thing that my teacher taught us was how to boot and reboot the computer. I dont know if we are still using those terms these days. =D

Well, the first thing that I learned was the DOS commands because back then you needed to know DOS to be able to run programs/software, copy/delete files etc. I had Windows 3.1, but you needed to use DOS commands to go to the directory and find that executable file to be able to run it to get into windows. Do I sound old? don't answer, zip your lips hehehehe

when i was first learning computers, i just saw my friend operates the computer. and I copied and what is in the doing and practice it.
