ReplyDeleteWell, I, myself I've never been a huge fan of IT or anything that has to do with...but a computer of course, LOL. So I thought to myself viewing how nowadays lifestyle metamorphosis as well as technology being the leading aspect, 8 out of 10 of the world's population heavily relies on personal digital gadgets, why not engage myself and expand my IQ platform in another education stream??? So I decided to take a stand willingly in learning more about computers or techno as whole. And knowing I like using one I should go knee-deep in exploring everything involving it. Though in the IT field I'm still an infant, LOL, I'd love it if I could be taken gradually as I'm taking it slowly too. But in overall, with everything said, I love what I'm learning & experiencing as far. I see myself inventing a digital gadget in one of the good days too.
