When I was in elementary school we didn't have the kind of computers that are around now. When my kids were younger they learned a lot of subjects on computers and learned about computers themselves.

I'm almost embarrassed to say that my teen daughter know more about computers than I do. There are times I need her help in doing something. In a way I'm really proud of her but I feel as if I missed out on a lot when I was growing up.

Does anyone else feel this way?

Neither I have learned computers nor informatics in school , but my kids did.
However , there are a lot of things I have learned myself from books along with things I've learned from them.
Things that my kids know and I don't and are about optimization, SEO ,php,html things like that and I don't feel like I'd want to learn.

Well, I'm glad to say that I know a whole lot about computers, my job involves PHP and HTML coding and I do good in that area, as well. I also don't get myself lost with software or hardware problems and I always happen to know what to do for my computer to keep it running great. However, I am still 23 years old so I have actually grown up with a lot of computer exposure to begin with.

However, when I was in elementary school, we did not have computer-related subjects at all, and we were not taught about computers. It was only during my high school years that computers were introduced to us.
However, I feel that I did not learn from school, but that I have taught myself with the computer at home. Practice makes perfect, and the more I've used our computer I learned new things about it everyday until I got my own computer for myself.

My daughter is still 5 years old but she knows how to use a computer already. My computer is full of educational games for kids her age, and she enjoys playing them all so much.
