        I didn't see it till I was eighteen. Of course, at that time, most people didn't see it at all. I was the first person I new to see it. It had been talked about in magazines before then as the "Information Superhighway" but no one knew what it was or that it existed.

              My daughters (4 and 6) have been using touch enabled devices since infancy. I am looking forward to seeing how they go from here.

                My eldest got her iPad at one. The youngest has always had them since her sister did. Now they each have an iPad, they share an Android and have a LeapPad that they share and the oldest got a Nintendo 2DS about six months ago and she uses that extensively. They are well versed on touch devices.

                The oldest got a laptop about a year ago, when she was four. She does really well using that too, now.

                  I started using a computer when I was 5. In elementary I was fixing the Apple computers for my teachers.

                      Funnily enough, after enough years, that old Apple made its way back to me and I still have it today.

                        That's pretty cool.
                        Sometimes I wish I had kept my old 8088, it was my first.

                                Turbo buttons were much later.

                                    No, no turbo button until the 386 I think...
