    I want to know that from where you all people learnt computers? Is that you have learnt by your own or from any university or school....? ? ?

    Also tell us that from where you all got knowledge of doing freelancing or blogging... :) :D

    I learnt computers by my own and blogging was told by my brother... :)

    Share with us.....

    From my dad
    From friends
    By my own

    No school learns you what can you learn by yourself schools are waste of time and money

    I am self taught. I have been interested with computers since high school so I slowly learned it.

    I don't think I ever took a class or read a book about computers. I learned through friends, the internet, and mostly by trial and error. My first computer was a mac IIsi, it had 4mb or ram and a 80mb HD. then I moved to a pc in 1998 and loved it. I broke it a lot and so eventually learned to built my own.

    My parents bought me a TRS-80 CoCo II in 1981. I was 10. I would write code long hand from this magazine every day.. 100's of lines of code...
    just to play the ugliest games and showcase the nastiest graphics. Sad thing was I couldn't save anything becuase the computer had no memory :(

    From there, we always had a computer.. and I just liked taking them apart.. so that got me a job selling them when I was 19 (1989 or so)....

    then got into tech support at my university.. which led to a gig at IBM... then to Canada's largest Alternative magazine as their Systems admin...

    I started doing web stuff in 1999 with frontpage....

    I hate to say it but I still use it :)

    I learned about computers on my own, its not hard at all :D but I do see kids in my university that still do not know what to do with a computer, they tend to be the hot looking girls in my classes :D.

    My brother who is very computer savvy helped me to get started on computers. He's still there when I need him, but the rest I've learned through trial and error and with the help of Google!
