Kids these days....
I was in high school before I saw my first home computer, which history would tell me most likely ran MS-DOS. My best friend's dad was a V.P. at Eli Lilly, so he always had the latest and greatest. Along with his dot matrix printer. We made a lot of cool banners on that green and white striped paper.
Fast forward 3 years... my college roommate had a brand new Mac II, and I was finally exposed to the wonders of a mouse (not the furry rodent). I discovered email somewhere around 1993--my first ever email went to my cousin at the University of Illinois from a computer lab at Indiana U.....and that was sooo cool. Of course I had to keep calling her to make sure she got it. When 1997 rolled around, I was finally able to surf the mysterious internet that everyone had been buzzing about at my brand new job with a computer software company.
Steven was 2 when he mastered the "point and click" and became fairly proficient in Windows Paint. Much more so than my mother, anyway, although that's not really a fair gauge. He was also 2 when he discovered games on The Wiggles website. He can now find various children's websites saved in his Favorites file, navigate through multiple windows, print pages for coloring, turn on/off the computer correctly, and adjust the speaker volume with hardware and software.
I'm thinking about getting a copy of Quickbooks Pro so he can do my taxes online next year.
