What I Want To Learn about Computers

Although I have learned computer through the classes since I was young, I forget many things that I learned.
First, I want to learn effective use of PowerPoint for presentation. We have to give a presentation about Greek myths in Humanities class, so our group decided to use PowerPoint to make our presentation more understandable and started to make slides, but I forgot the use of PowerPoint completely. We made slides with images and effects, but I think it is boring and not attractive yet. Now we learn PowerPoint in Computer class, I want to learn more and make our presentation more interesting.

Another thing I want to learn is photo editing. Few months ago, I bought a new digital camera. I had used my father’s camera when I wanted to take pictures, but I didn’t have mine before then. Now I enjoy taking pictures with my camera, but I can’t edit with the computer well. Therefore, I want to learn how to use photo retouching software such as Photoshop.

I want to learn especially these two, but I’m interested in many things I can do with computer, so I’ll try what I want to do as many as I can!

My History with Computers

The first time I used the personal computer was in the class when I was in the fourth or fifth grade. I didn’t know anything about the computer, and I used it only to do some games. For me, the computer was just an entertainment at that time. Through the junior high and the high school, however, I learned a lot about the computer. The most memorable thing for me is the presentation using PowerPoint; we formed some groups and gave a presentation about the travel. It was good experience for me because I had never feel the enjoyment of giving presentation and I could get new knowledge about the computer. Now I enjoy many things such as music and image editing with my computer, but I want to learn more and use it more skillfully.
