My computer and Internet skills

Definitely we are making easier our lives through the use of technology. We apply computer knowledge everywhere and at any moment.


I have heard that people in the past had to do everything in handwriting, but suddenly computers and typing machines appeared to make the workers and students’ lives easier. In these days, computers are popular and are used anywhere. There are thousands of tasks that can be developed in computers, and in addition to that, this technology continues evolving, so it is necessary that we keep updated in order to not to remain behind of the technological world. What can be implemented is that schools throughout the country have their own computer labs so the new generations of students don’t have the same lack of computing knowledge. But we witness the reality in which schools of the suburbs or from rural places don’t have these privileges. In my particular experience I can say that my school didn’t have such resources and that’s why I started High School without any computer knowledge.


Being in a classroom where the majority of the students had a basic knowledge about computers was difficult for me because it was embarrassing, and my teacher was not so patient to explain the procedures from the beginning. Thanks God I was offered a free coursed sponsored by the MINED in which we were going to learn how to design web pages. There, I learned a lot, starting from basic learning. It really helped me to enter into the technological world that computers offer. My computer skills gained through my academic education have influenced in my learning because I have done many homework assignments using my computer. Undoubtedly computer skills are essential in these days because we do almost everything via computer. Teachers don’t want hand written exams anymore; they want students use this resource since the very beginning of their education.
