Did the college provide a laptop to students or did you purchase a laptop of your own? If it was your own laptop, was it a new laptop or second hand laptop?

Was the computer a desktop or laptop ? Did each student have their own computer or was it shared between the various students? Can you share which course you took?

First time i used a computer was at Junior school. There was a computer lesson twice a week. That was my favorite lesson really because we didn't have a computer at home at using at school was the only time i had. After junior school, Secondary school didn't have computer lessons so i asked my parents to buy me one, i was told if i pass my secondary school then i would get a laptop, and i did pass, that was when i got my first laptop. Since then i have been using a laptop.

Thank you for your detailed reply on computer usage. Can you share in which year you started using computers and for how many years you have been using the laptop?

Did the college give him a computer or was he asked to purchase a computer to do college work at home? All information regarding computer purchase and use will be greatly appreciated

Its been a few years hey. First time suing a computer it felt like something really difficult. Now I find laptops the easiest things to use.

In fact, a few decades ago, computers were not at all introduced, and I first used a computer at home.

I first used mine three years ago. I had no money to buy one until that time. So maybe I started using it a bit late.

My first use of a computer was after my high school or secondary School. I enrolled into a computer training institute that couples as a cyber cafe. That was when I started learning and interacting with computers.

The first time I used a computer was during our computer classes in secondary school. I didnt really use it though, I just had access to touch it for some minutes.
