My first experience with a computer was when I was younger than I am now. Obviously. I think I was four years old. My dad had a Windows 3.1, along with a very loud dot matrix printer, that he used in his office for typing up sermons and whatever else he did on there at work. I just liked to press the buttons. My Dad’s secretary at the church where he worked at the time had a typewriter that she enjoyed using for making bulletins. I also liked pressing buttons on that. It was a fun adventure. I’ve kept that attitude to this day. That’s the key to learning more about anything. Also the knowledge that you can’t really break anything, even though it seems like you can. That also helps. I learned how to type at an early age too, once my teachers realized it was really hard to read my writing on account of my being left handed and also very nearsighted. It was going to level the playing field for me. Everyone else was going to be happier. Does this mean I’d rather stare at a screen than go for a walk. No. I have been able to be helpful to my friends who don’t know as much about computers. It is harder to convince them that they are actually good at it and won’t break anything., as long as they save their work. Never give up though. I still have lots to learn even now that I am learning how to use Linux in an attempt to become a “triple threat” user of Windows, IOS stuff, and Linux. There’s always more for me to learn. Messing around can be the simplest way to make that happen. Don’t be afraid.
