I have been surrounded by computers my whole life. Even as a young child, I can remember sitting on my dad's lap while I watch him work on his computer. Without a doubt, if my dad didn't own a computer store, my fascination would not be as high.
My love for building computers and fixing them only really came into practice when I was in middle school. Sometimes, when I was doing nothing, my dad would ask me if I wanted to go to the store and build a computer. I always said yes. He would just give me the parts and just tell me to go at it. While some of my skills are self-trained, I learned the basics from my dad and all my experience comes from working at his store.
For any of those looking to get into computers, now would be as good as a time as any. Computers are a critical part in every day life and knowing how to build and repair one is starting to become a necessary skill. Pre-built computers are overpriced for their hardware and still require some amount of set up to get going. The best way to get started with computers is to just go out and buy the parts to build a computer. Once you have the parts, read a guide as to how to build one. It is as easy as that. When it comes to building computers, experience (and Google) is the best teacher.
