In today's world, where technology is everywhere, being a computer geek can reap you many rewards. From becoming the go to guy in your group of friends to being called upon in presentations to save the day, its "the age of the geek baby." read more...
STEPS
1. Become comfortable with computers, mainly software
2. Experiment. The fastest way to become comfortable is to see everything that computers can do. Example: say there's a bunch of movies on your brother's laptop, you could go there, copy them on a flash drive then bring them back, but why should you? Computers are powerful now right, I shouldn't have to leave my room.
3. Brainstorm. So you think that we have wi-fi, thats a network, let me find ways of sharing movies on a network. That's it.
4. Google it. This is where Google is your best friend, once you know what you're looking for Google fills in all the gaps. You can find guides, books and demonstrations of almost anything.
5. Bask in your glory. You've just learned a new skill, how to share movies on a network. Why stop there? Find out other things you can do over your network. Share photos, stream music, remote control his laptop and the list goes on.
6. Don't stop. As you attempt these things your knowledge will grow, you will become more comfortable with computers and in time be able to do things that leave others speechless. It's a truly awesome feeling.
7. The most important thing about a computer geek is "interest". That is the thing which you will need to learn new things. Fiddling with Google is the best. Type in different things on computer system and software, and what are the things what new things we can do on today's computers.
· Alter your thinking. Try to find ways around common tasks, shortcuts.
· Try and do things that you may not necessarily need to do, but would be interesting nonetheless if you could. Say using a facial recognition app to log you into Facebook... there is absolutely no use to this but it would be so cool! (let me know if you do figure this one out)
· Have fun doing it.
· You should try to learn HTML or C++
· . Use batch files to your advantage.
