Hey 12yearoldnoob, gotta say somein, you aren't the youngest here take 911 and then subtract the 9 and what do ya have? 11. I'm very wise for my age, and well it makes me mad that everyone in my school asks me about what to do on the computer..... even the teachers :P But umm the reason I'm smart with computers is that when I was like 4-5 I started playing Duke Nukem(crazy I know) on a 64mb ram computer, the latests graphics card and penti. 2 proc! Started HTML at 8, game prog. last year! Hey

If you want to learn about computers, just read the PCMECH tutorials that PCMECH has here, and just observe the kind of problems people are having and some solutions on how to fix them. Reading a lot about computers will give you a great deal of knowledge. That is only knowledge; the best thing on how to know about computers is actual hands on experience. You can get that by building computers for other people, getting internships, or going to school for that. That is how you learn about computers; atleast that's how I learned about them. Once you do something with your hands, it's really tough to forget it; it's easy to forget something you tried to memorize in your head.

[8raker]

Thanks B, oh and marko, the reason i said duke, was because that was the thing that got me interested in the computer. 12, we are kinda alike, yep I remember Mortal Combat

[kstatefan40]

14 here, turning 15 on March 6. I make old people feel old

As stated above though, young or old, we all appreciate the help that any member is willing to give and I will not complain if you are 5 or 95, might joke around a little, but its nothing more than a joke.

[B.Alex]

Thanks for the advice markoman. I've been looking at these forums many times each day, and I'm learning a lot about computers. I'm building a computer right now, and this forum's been an awesome source of information. Hopefully I'll be getting that hands-on experience you mentioned in the near future.

[Markoman01027]

in my opinion, this place is the best to learn about computers. To be honest, I have learned almost everything here about computers by just viewing posts and talking to the knowledgeable guys through IRC.

I could not ask for a better place.

I agree. Between here and IRC, it doesn get much more helpful.

A long way to get near me? I guess so since I live in Hawaii.

Or are you talking about age? You'll never get close to me since we'll always be 35 years apart.

reading these polls makes me think about how things have changed, when my dad was the age of many of these young folks he had not even ridden in a car , when i was their age we didn't have electricity, there was an explosion of new things in the last 100 years that we consider ordinary even essential now.

Right you are! When I was a kid listening to the "old folks" talk about things in their youth I was amazed. Now, looking back at my own early days, I'm amazed at the technological advancements I've been able to witness. The first TV I saw, then the first color TV, the first plastic stuff, the realization that only 45 years before my birth the Wright brothers flew for the first time, then shortly after my 21st birthday a man was walking on the moon! To get a real life persepective of days gone by, visit Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Or visit Lookout Point above Knoxville, Tenn. and looking at all the mountains think what it must have been like to fight a great war (the Civil War) with only horses and wagons!

Im 16...but ive been at pcmech since i was your age

[MrAustin]

22 Here. 23 in February.

[scomac]

I'm in the 26+ group. I will be celebrating my 35th birthday in November. I've been into computers for a while, got my first 'real' computer when I was in college. It was an old Leading tech 386sx25 with a whole 4 megs of RAM and a 20 meg (yes that is right and NOT a typographical error) hard-drive. After about 8 years of being behind without a computer, I broke down and bought the HP.

It's been interesting to say the least how things have changed since I was in school and how much technology has become an integral part in the schools. For my 2nd and 1st grader, had to buy them each a set of computer headphones for their back to school needs. Don't remember ever having that on any of my back-to-school lists. LOL
