1st week's assignment

week1: What do you want to learn about computers?

It was when I was junior high school student that I started to use computers. In my house, my father had a computer, Windows98, and he let me use it as much as I like. I didn't want to read thick and boring textbook of the computer, so I just tried to make it work without any knowledge. I was completely not good at using any kinds of machines, but I could pop up Word soft, and could type something! It was really interesting, and my interests for the unknown machine got bigger and bigger.
After short term, I could type whatever I want smoothly, but I couldn't use other tools of software. Now, I can use Word soft and Internet Explorer, but I have no idea about other things. So, I want to learn how to use other interesting ant useful software. For example, when I was in my hometown, my father used to make nengajyo, a kind of Japanese message card which are exchanged on January 1st, by computer. Before he does it with computer, we had to buy many nengajyo and had to write each one. However, we don't have to do the heavy task because he prints each year's animal , and draws nice letters on it with computers. It looked very interesting to make it, but I couldn't learn how to do it.
I'm sure that there will be more, a lot of interesting software or tools. I'd like to learn some of them, and use it in my daily life.
