I don't remember my very first experience with a pc, however I do remember some early experiences I had with our families pc. It was located in the basement of our house, so even in the summer I was always cold when I used the computer. I remember dial-up, and how annoying that was. Back then, even before I know any different I hated it. Usually I used the internet to get on AOL and insant message with my friends, I had an email account but never recieved anything but junk mail and emails form my friends. I don't remember any major mistakes I had other than my fifth grade AOL screen name. And I guess an accomplishment I had was broad, but it was being able to figure out how it all worked with out any help. After only a few weeks of using AOL, I was aready more knowable then both my parents. I think since I was younger when the computer was introduced into our house I adpoted easier. Also before we had a computer with intrenet in our hosue I had a computer in my room that was for typing practice. It had games on it, I remember playing wheel-of-fortune, and all the games were to help with your typing skills. Some of the games timed your typing and others were just for practice. Even though this computer didn't have internet I do believe that it helped me adpot quicker to the family pc. I think since I was able to experience a computer when I was so young, it helps me even to this day, I am a faster typer which helps me get papers done in a faster speed.
