When did you use a computer for the first time?

What would life be like without your computer?

Do you control computers or do they control you?

What would happen if all of the world’s computers suddenly stopped forever?

Do computers ever make you want to pull your hair out (i.e. become very frustrated)?

What is the best/worst thing about computers?

11 months old.

What would life be like without your computer?

Actual interactions, but life would be more difficult.

Do you control computers or do they control you?

I control them.

What would happen if all of the world’s computers suddenly stopped forever?

Life would become more difficult, however, no more cringe social media.

Do computers ever make you want to pull your hair out (i.e. become very frustrated)?

Nah.

What is the best/worst thing about computers?

Best thing is that all information is in front of you.

Worst thing is that they could be used for bad things such as stealing information and other stuff.
 
I believe the first computer I ever used was a workstation / dumb terminal hanging off the classroom network at the Junior College in either 79 or 80 while we were supposed to be learning DOS, and FORTRAN, and COBOL.


Many years ago I learned that ANY computer works better when you write out the following note and tape it to the computer's case:


There is
NOTHING WRONG
with this
COMPUTER
that
CAN NOT BE FIXED
with a
FIRE AXE.
 
I hardly even get on my computer that much these days. Mostly on my phone.
