I can still clearly remember when we got the first computer to my job, I was 37 years old, and a guy came to teach us how to use it. We sat in a circle just staring in disbelief, he picked me first to come and try it. He said put your hand on the mouse and start moving it slowly, I first asked what's a mouse??? After he told me I asked "like how"??? He said oh, you have never used a computer? I said NO I HAVEN'T, WHERE WOULD I HAVE USED ONE??? No one had them at home yet, and I thought I'd never ever learn how to use it..

@DugrozReports well,for me it took a long time to even think I'd be able to learn how to use a computer,it wasn't until I bought one for my home that I really came over beeing so acared to touch it😁 here in our schools the children taught themselves in no-time and then they taught the teachers! I remember seeing on the news how children age 10 sat and gave computer-lessons to their teachers😁

@luivalentino8520 I went to school in the 70's so no, we had no computers, I can't remember if there was one in the teachers room, but I don't think there was, there was typing machines and when "word" came(I think it was called that?) I remember it was a big thing; not to have to start from the beginning,just erase that ONE misspelled word and continue!

@KTheChristianArtist Lucky you, I had a co-worker who learned it jist like that, and I was struggling to get the mouse to obey me😂
