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

I was 5 or 6 years old. I spent a lot of time playing simcity classic on floppy disks (not cds) on a windows 3.1 system.

 

bout 30+ years ago I used my first calculator.....

absolutely fascinating.....

 

7-10 Baby!

 

I first used a computer when I was about 11 years old, great! Computer can't without internet!!!

 

Well I think in 18. I had prepare my three year degree reports

 

SimCity was one of my favorite games growing up too. Except I think I played on Nintendo or Sega or something.. LOL

Most of my friends' 5 or 6 year old kids probably wouldn't play SimCity too well so you must have been a smart kid!

 

I think I was about 7, my mom had bought me some MSX machine.

 

i'm on 15 years old

 

1 - Windows One - I could Play Paint

the good old Days

 

My kids started using our computer at age 2 and 3 for educational games and are now hardcore at ages 8 and 10with their own PC's. They help their mom and grandma with computer issues all the time!

 

i`am usually play games on my pc when my age around 13
just fo fun..my first game..
Commandos : Behind The Enemy Lines
quiet hard n for beginner (13)
thn i start using pc more to work...

 

I was 18. My first job was an operator on a Burroughs L4. You used to have to load the programs using a deck of punched cards! Later I graduated to the L9 which had a cassette tape and a massive 8k memory! (Yes 8k, not 8gb or even 8mb)

*Sigh* Any other old programmers remember coding pads?

 

hi,
I was 22 years old when I used first time computer..
thanks

 

With all of the new video games for little kids and toddlers that I keep seeing advertised, such as the Vcast and others I wouldn't be surprised to find that in about ten more years the average person starts using a computer at the age of 3. It doesn't seem that we are too far from that right now as it is.

 

I think I was about 12, don't remember for sure. Got a vic-20. Then bought a tape recorder! Wow, was that awesome waiting 5 minutes to pull up a little program.

The next year I saved up for a c-64. Then upgraded to a floppy drive! woo hoo.... I was one of the cool ones amongst my nerdy friends. But there was always a rich kid who got the newest commodore.... darn it..

Then no computer for years until 98 when I started my business. Got a Compaq 233mhz or ?? with a huge drive it was like 4 gb and had even extra memory - 48 MB !! wow!

 

i think i was 10

 

I voted 7-10, but not to get me confused with the younger kids on here... the computer I used was like a Tandy that connected to Great Lakes Free Net via a 1400 baud modem :lol:

 

I'm not sure I know what that means.. LOL And I'm 27. But I truely am not much of a techie, more of an artist

 

Are you serious? You actually started using a PC play paint program when you were 1.. WOW

 

When I was 5, my mom got a PC from Circuit City called a Compaq with Windows 95. I played some games like Math Blaster and Gizmos and Gadgets which was pretty cool.

In school I had Macs which sucked all the way until 9th grade when I finally got to use Windows XP and see the internet without any guide.
