I've been playing around on computer games since I was like 4 or 5. But, I started learning more and more when I was 12. Now, at 14, I know a fair amount (not a lot, and I'm not really a wiz) and I know some HTML, etc.
-
38, just five yrs ago. I have learnt MS word, excel, access, AutoCAD, ppt, and wrote technical/functional specs for many database software. All this in last 5 yrs.

I was 20 and a student at Virginia Tech, typing cards for the main frame and desperately trying to get a simple program to run. That was it until I was about 30. I am now 52.

I was about 11 when I started messing with computers ever since then I love to work on them and do all kinds of stuff on here, I don't know as much as I'd like to but I have fun with it!
-
I was a little less than 3 years old when I started using a computer. My dad had an Apple that he let me use. He programmed a few games and stories in that I could access by typing "Catalog" then typing in the name of the program I wanted. I used to love that! He would put funny stories in (I think he called the program Trillion Stories) and I could read them. He wrote so many I don't think I ever read them all. I never got repeats. He would write funny (silly, ridiculous) stories about me and my friends and my family going on crazy adventures... I had such a great time!
-
I was in 7th grade when I first saw a computer. That is when we got them in our school. Have worked on them ever since. That was more years ago than I care to count!

-
4 or 5. My father worked for PC Connection when I was growing up and I was exposed to the first "real" personal computers at an early age!
-
I think I was 17 when I first used a computer -- the school had a Tandy and an Apple II (this was circa 1980), and we all got to use it to see what it was like. I got my own Commodore 64 a couple of years later. Then in 1985 I started using Microtek VDTs for work. Five years later I was on an Apple Macintosh. During the 1990s I learned my way around PCs. Been a wild and crazy quarter of a century!

Great question. Hm.. I think about 7 or 8. That was 14 years ago. Haha wow. I remember the pc being much simpler and not much to it. I don't even think the computers at school had mouses, it was all opperated by keyboard. That was the age I was a pro at it. Playing all those lame games like math eaters or Oregon trail.

I started somewhere between 5 and 7 but I didn't really get into it until I was 9. Those where the days. A lightning fast 386DX33, 50 Megs of hard drive space, a 2400 baud modem, and DOS prompt as fas as the eye could see. I eventually got Windows 3.1.
-
to be truthful quite young, maybe five. i was a genius, or was it 4

I was about 7 years old...we had a computer class in school.

we bought our first computer when i was 6, but wasn't really allowed to use it much (It was 'my dads') By 10 I had a very good knowledge of basic computer using (my dad had left and we go our own comp, + school comps) By 12 I could do most things on a computer, and had taught my mum how to use it.
-

16, if I recall. It was a Commodore PET computer with audio cassette tape drive in high school, then a Commodore 64 of my own. Ohh yeah, the game Pong was a hit on the Colecovision then too. :) I'm 43 now, still have the 64 and the Colecovision.

We had a computer in our Kindergarten class so it was very young . Of course we did not have access to the internet at such an early age but many fun things which gave us a very good interest and an advantage over our peers when moving on to higher schools

I think 3 or 4, but it was because of this learning game...i was staring at the screen, and watched it make sounds when i clicked at a certain button.
-
Age 3-4: Took apart a toy calculator to see the inside parts (If that counts, lol) Age 5-6: Inherited my older brother's Commodore VIC-20. Anyone remember those? Played mainly Gorf and E.T. I think, also tried some programming examples from the manual which would execute dazzling ascii effects on the screen. Age 8: Family decides it's time to get a PC. We buy a 386 PS/1 with an 80 megabyte hard drive (or was it 8 megatbyte). I still remember the car ride, asking my parents what a megabyte was. They didn't know either; nobody did. Age 14: The PS/1 is on its dying days and we are still using Win3.1 while Win95 is all the rage. Simcity 2000 was probably the last game that could run on that thing. Parents decide to upgrade the PC, based mostly on my advice as by this time I've become the family computer administrator (or 'sysop' as the term would have been back then). Age 23: Presently, I have my own custom built PC. Changes to the BIOS, registry editing, coding, cracking. All these things are easy now. Overclocking has become a hobby of mine and I've just recently installed a water cooling system. ...and right now I'm at my desk as a support tech, not getting any work done :)

My god, I have to be astonished at these answers. I was in kindergarten and 4 years old when I first used the computer. It was in the school library. I remember the old computer paint program where you could erase your whole screen by pushing the icon of dynomite and it would blow up and you'd have a new clean drawing space. Those were the days...

I think the first time I had a clue what I was doing was when I was like 9 or around that.
-
I was 6 years old when I first got my first real computer and it ran on DOS. I knew all the commands for it too. I had a pre-computer when I was 4 years old. I've been pretty computer literate throughout my life since I started at a young age. I'm 18 now and I don't know it would be if I didn't know how to use the computer. I'm on it way too much though.
-
I was 36 yrs. I first learned on a SystemOne travel agency computer. The first PC I ever used was about 3 yrs later, at an office that gave me the computer to use, but had no mouse...so I learned the hard way. Imagine my shock when I first got to use a mouse!! LOL

I was about 6 years old programming a Tandy to recognize movements from my "Atari style" joystick. The blocks were huge - only 16 color blocks could fit on the screen... I also remember a cassette tape drive that I would load programs into it with.

I started using computers around the age of 15, while I was still in high school. That probably doesn't excite anyone these days, but I don't recall many students using computers circa 1970. We had access to an IBM System/360 or System/370 and used a teletype printer connected through an acoustic coupler. Look, ma, no punchcards! The first programming language I learned was APL - A Programming Language - which was a very elegant and powerful mathematical language.
-
I was about 7 and this was back in like 1982 when atari first had computers.
-
My first computer class was in 6th grade, that was in 1986. I was 26 when I got my first PC. It took me about 10 days to learn enough to function pretty well on it.

-
I was 4 years old when I started using the "pre-computer" that I was bought for Christmas. It wasn't really a computer but it was similar to a computer. I got a desktop computer when I was 6 years old and it had Windows DOS on it. It's been so long, I barely even remember what the computer looks like. I started very young and that's probably why my computer skills are so good.
-
My uncle introduced me to a computer when I was 8. Now, I'd messed around with the more ancient computers, with the Matrix-esqe monitor, but all I could do was play games. I taught myself how to email (via Yahoo), and surf the internet. The internet filter he had installed was quite annoying, but after looking around, I found the manual in a drawer...he hadn't changed the default password, so it was still set to "cyber". Fun days. I can't imagine myself without a computer now...
-
I was about 5 when we got our old Packard Bell computer with Windows 3.11. My mom hated it and my dad only used it to play Solitaire. The only thing I remember was that there was this Spiderman game that I always played.
