My favorite past time is to spend time at the computer, even at a tender age I like computer systems. To having a computer was a dream, an almost impossible dream. I had a friend named George at that time, we were in the same school, same grade and we had a verygood relationship. At that time he had a computer system and we spend our free time playing games,printing greeting cards, banners, we also did our school home work. It was very nice and playful eventhen I yearned to own my own computer, so I could spend more time learning how to use thecomputer.
But I liked to have my own computer so I can do my own printings and spend more timelearning how to use the computer. One day my parents went for a trip without me because I was in school at that time; so I stay with mygrandmother for about five days until my parents got back from their trip. When my folks return homethey arrived with a big box with no labels or printings on the outside of the box. My parents alwaysknew that I wanted a computer. I didn’t know what was inside of the big brown box until the next daywhen I saw the computer on my homework table.
It was the best day of my life, for that day my dreambecame reality. It was use but in good shape conditions and working. Now my favorite hobby is computers systems and instead of having a use computer, I have the latestcomputer and I like to spend a lot time making graphics programs, configuring systems in my newPentium II 450mhz processor, and playing with my small network system that I have at home. I alsolike to alter pictures for example take one girl face out and put in another girl or man face that no onewould tell that particular picture was altered. I like to write my essays on my computer because I have more fun, my mind is more relaxed and Ithing better as oppose to writing with pen.
At least it works for me. I’m gland my parents bought me the use computer then because now I know how to use it very welland it will be inside of me for the rest of my life which will help me a lot in the future. Who knows whatwould have happen if I didn’t get the use computer when I was fourteen years old. Computers is more than a hobby considering my work and major are Data Processing. Working forKingsborough Community College in Academic Computing Department as a supervisor for eveningclasses. My job consists of taking care of the computer labs during the night and sees if all theclasses are where they are suppose to be.
For example, at night we have two Departments that usethe computer facilities; one is Academic Computing Department, which has more rights andprivileges to use the computer labs then Coutinuing Education Department. This Departmentsometimes gives me a hard time because they want to use the rooms, which are assigned toAcademic Department. Also I have to check on my staff who works in the labs as a student Aids. Their work consists ofhelping students with software and hardware problems only; they not suppose to help students dotheir homework at all.
However if they desire to do so they could. I am gland that I have chosen computers because I think the next millennium will be based oncomputers. I believe that in the future computers will became a part of everyday life, in schools, jobs,and even in leisure activities. In order to complete or stay abreast with peers computer knowledge willbe mandatory. The explosive growth of PCs, workstations, LANs, WANs, fiber optics, wireless communications, andsoftware may be completing the new office. This means that computers are at the vanguard of aneconomic revolution, and it will have dramatic great economic effects by 2003 because of the rapidcomputerization.
One day I was watching a television program about the high increase of computers in the last fewyears and they said that for the year 2001 every one in the word will have at least one use computerper family.For me having a hobby is very important it is .
