  • answer. The question in this video is about computers. Who taught you how to

  • use a computer? Actually I don't think any one person taught me how. I was lucky

  • enough to be born in the early 90s, where family computers and personal computers

  • were becoming more widespread. I actually remember my dad coming home

  • with our first family PC around 1995 or 1996, so I was old enough then to start

  • learning how computers worked - what their functions were, what their capabilities

  • were, so I essentially learned intuitively. I just learned by trial and

  • error. I tried doing things and made mistakes and that's how I learned most

  • of the basic functions of the PC. Later on, when IT became a common subject in

  • school, we learnt how to create email addresses, use Excel spreadsheets, and

  • some of the more advanced features at school, but for the most part I'm

  • 'self-taught' with computers - I learned everything pretty much by myself. If you

  • want more, you can check out MarkTeacher.com for more IELTS courses lessons and

  • tips!
