What was your early experience with computers?

Well, we had the green screen computers when I was in elementary in the 1980s. I would play some fun games on them at school. Anyway, later on in middle school, they finally had the color screens, and I took a computer class (6th grade) in middle school (basic programming).

Later on, I learned typing as a freshman in high school (on real typewriters, lol). This situation, of course, was a big help to my later computer use. However, I didn't use computers much until university where I was writing papers and starting to check out the brand-new internet (mid-90s).

The first memory I have with a computer was in the early 2000s, the first thing I did with it was install the game Worms and start playing for hours, then I explored the computer and the operating system in general, I think it was Windows 2000, I have very good memories of those first times, everything was so new

My first time operating a desktop, I found it very difficult to operate the keyboards. I was very slow each time that I was using it till I got better and became very good. The thing with using a computer is that you have to often use it before you can say that you are good with the machine.

I think I was a little kid when I saw a computer in my father's office for the first time. When I started using a computer, I was 12 years old, it was a desktop computer that used floppy disks. The model was pretty like the ones that are common these days, except they were bulky.

Growing up, I remember my parents getting an old Commodore 64 from a garage or yard sale. It was the first experience I had with PC and PC gaming. It sadly died on us a few years after getting it and it was put in a shed for years. I don't think we have it in said shed anymore though, but I've been debating pulling it out if it's still there and seeing if I can maybe repair it. Though I've never worked on old PCs before, so don't know what to expect there.

Ommo my first encounter was when I was asked to type. Funny enough back then, I was not just struggling with the keys, I was absolutely hunting them. Lol. It was difficult for me until things change with consistency.

My earliest memory of using computers was playing flash games and browsing joke sites.

I mostly just played video games. I didn't start spending time online until my teens but I did have access to it. I just found it very boring as a child.

I remember when my Aunt and Uncle got their first computer, it was a Windows 95 powered PC. I would go online and visit Nick.com when I was a child, and I would watch my cousins play different games. I almost entered a I Love Lucy contest as a kid lol. I clicked on an ad that was advertising a contest Nick at Nite was hosting. I clicked on it and started filling out the form, but my Aunt found out what I was doing and I got in trouble.
