As for my first blog, I was thinking of a topic that would be something nostalgic and at the same time most of the people nowadays would relate since we're on the Information Age! It came across for me to blog something about the time you get your very first computer! Computers was invented many years ago. It was considered as a machine that do a work than being considered a gadget nowadays. Not to mention early computers was a bit of pricey back then. When the year 2000 strikes, the computer is evolving like crazy up to now.
So now, let me share to you my little story for obtaining my very first computer or pc some other calls it.
It was dated around year 2004 to 2005 that my mother finally bought me a computer! I was in second high school back then.
For starters, it was not brand new at all and she got it from our neighbor. I'm not complaining or anything, in fact I was so excited that I took me hours to inspect the said computer from our neighbor's house!
Much to my investigation, I confirmed that the OS was Windows '98 and it's quite 'ok' for a first time pc. It was able to run some decent programs that I planned to use. That night, my mother got my approval to take the pc because it was bundled with a free printer and one of the best computer stand way back.
The next day, the transaction was okay and the computer set was transferred to our house specifically in my room (of course! XD). Around 5:30pm I rushed to go home like crazy! I remember I said something to the driver of the jeepney "PARA LANG PO!". Then, all the passenger were looking at me like O_O (what the hell this kid is shouting or something). I don't mind anyone of them, one thing I'm focus about my computer is in my room! Then I got out of the jeepney, dashed to our doorway and directly to my room (not recognizing anyone in my path including my mother). About 10 minutes in front of MY computer, my mother scolded me to at least eat a dinner and take a shower before doing anything. After that, my frequent eyes is on my new computer. Browsing everything what it can offer even without an internet! Yeap that's right! Dial-up connection was the preferred connection back then, good thing we have a telephone =)
Acquiring something for the first time always leave a scars to your memory, this is how 'my computer' has started, where I belong!
Good thing I was able to see the old photo. Except for the keyboard, the CRT Monitor and the computer table is still the same.
Btw thanks for my Youtube account because I was able to see the date I registered around 2005! Talking about the time Youtube started and look how far they made.
How about you, when did you get your very first computer? whats the story behind it? :) Comments below.
