Similarities in PC stories

After reading a couple of people's personal computer stories, I found that most people our age started using computers in elementary school. Most had computer class through high school, but then began to use computers for communication: instant messaging, email. Now we all use the computer on a daily basis, mostly for access to the internet.

Personal Computer story

My first experience using a computer was back in elementary school. We had computer class once or twice a week in which we would practice typing and play games, educational or just for fun. I remember using the typing program Mavis Beacon and it was sort of a class contest to see who could get the highest words per minute. The first game I remember playing on the computer was Oregon Trail and I loved it. The first time I used a personal computer at home on a regular basis was in middle school. We had a computer at our house and I would use it first for instant messaging, and then as I got older I used it for email, school work etc. I did not become a big internet user until well into high school and now I’m on the internet quite a bit every day.
