I love to build computers
April 17, 2009 3:31 am TechnologyComputers have gone from a luxury item to a near-necessity over the last couple of years. When I arrived at college in 2004, all incoming freshmen students were required to have a laptop for school use, no exceptions. Back in high school very few of my friends beyond my computer gaming buddies that built computers with me had computers at home.These days, I build computers for friends and family, and am constantly answering questions about hardware, software, and silly cereal box games that people install on their hard drives. It seems like everyone is now plugged in, no exceptions. Heck, even my grandma is on instant messenger now. A 89 year old woman sends me instant messages while I am working during the day. That is unbelievable! At this rate, my 9 year old sister is going to have a nicer computer than I can afford soon!
