Write about your first computer.

My first computer was very small and didn’t have a good connection to the Internet. I didn’t really know what I was doing online. I’ve come a long way now with my computer usage and know so much more.

Nice post ✍️
Thank you.🌹
My first computer was one of the earliest Apples, so 1979 or 80. No internet at that time, of course. An undergrad wrote me a word processing program so I could write my grants. When I came to UNC, I was the only faculty member with a PC. Ony typists in the departmental office, who still had to re-type my grants because the only printer I could get was one that used the paper with the punches on the side. The one departmental computer took up most of a whole room!
Oh man, we’ve sure come a long way with technology haven’t we? I’ll bet at the time it really felt like something.
We definitely have. I was the first person to organize an international meeting via the internet and to run a university-wide survey by internet. Then the rest of the world caught up! I had a very forward looking mentor, who introduced us all to computers.
That’s impressive!
It didn’t seem so at the time – just me trying to do something timely!
