-VOTE- How old were you when you first used a computer?

4-13 *sigh* so young...

Though I wonder how this thread would have gone if it was given a time frame rather then ages... like 1 year ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago.

As I'm pretty sure that many of the young ones that posted here are still pretty young. When I voted for the young range I picked, that was over 20 years ago...

 

Hmm.. I'm not sure what type of information that type of poll would yeild. Unless we knew the ages of everone who voted and could compare that to the time frame. But hey, its an idea

Thanks for your vote!

 

Well outside of school, I started using it around age 11 for serious stuff. Was coding in mIRC, making scripts for MSN through it

 

I was 12 or 13 in that time

 

Now my youngest who is 3 can turn on the computer and search the programs for icons that look fun or that he recognizes...

He has such the fit when caught and taken from the computer. His older brothers have one in their room, one in the school room and in my office, but I am usually in my chair so he doesn't get on mine that often.

 

I think I was around 3 or 4. I first used the computer at my grandmother's.

 

3 or younger -- was it seriously?

 

About 10 or 11, though it was far enough back that it doesn't really matter.

 

Me too.. LOL I dare someone to try and take me away from my computer.. hahah j/k

 

Its been a while since this thread was up top, lets get some more votes! So-far it seems that between the ages of 7-10 is the most popular time to learn to use a computer.

 

a win 95 when I was 12 years old I think !

 

I was 20 when I first used the computer! pretty late?

 

Must be old now?

 

i was around 10-13....i still remember those days..
i used to play a funny small DOS game "FLY"... i found this silly game so interesting that i could play it for whole day and night...but now even NFS or CS doesnt make me so much excited...
Those days were nice...

 

i was 12 or 13, about 10 years ago

 

unfortunately took me a long wait of 16 years to first start using one, but grasped up pretty quicky and learned a lot in short time

 

7-10 We had a Bell & Howell Apple 2 plus (black case) I still own this bad boy!!

 

i must have been 8 or 9 yrs when i first used computer.

 

I thought it would be fun to get some more votes on this thread, since DP has so members.

Let us know when you first used a PC...

 

2 years old. I just happened to start banging my dads keyboard and opened up internet explorer.

First task completed.
