Computers and technology have come a
long way from their humble beginnings. As a child I was not able to get
on the computer at school or in my home. It was a huge social failure. I
would walk to the local library to look for a computer and to look at
it.
I would stand in line at the computer and wait. After
the computer was opened, the receptionist would call me and ask me to go
to a computer lab where they would give me a "computer test." My
reaction was one of disgust. I could not believe that this was the
"real" test. I did not know what it was for, how I was supposed to learn
the software and what was going on the computer.
Years
later I found out that most of the computer labs were very expensive and
that most computer users never made it to the actual computer labs. I
was able to get into one computer lab that was at a college and I was
given a test. I remember this computer test very well. I was asked to
type in the same data and words over again.
Over I typed
the same data in and over again. I did not realize that the data that I
had typed was a key to the game. I did not realize that the computer was
a key to the game. I did not realize that the game was my life. I was able to learn the basics of computer games. I was able to become the computer geek that I am today.
