Did your interest for technology came from your parents?

[DTV998]

Yea...my parents don't really know too much about technology, and they aren't some big supporters either.

My dad played CS with his friends.

Nope, they're often saying that I spend far too much time with technology, even though I've good results at college and I'm the only one of the "children" that actually does their chores everyday, and then some. (I like things clean and tidy so the house is nice for when they get home.)

They think I'm burning money on PC's, "get a laptop, smaller, looks better and costs less" they said. lel.

 

Until I water cooled it, they think I invented something new.

 

So, answer is no.

My parents are both technology illiterate. They can barely turn on the TV.

Like some other people, I was somewhat influenced by my parent. My Dad is an IT executive. While he no longer works with computers or programming (that I know of). He currently runs the cyber security part of the company he works for now. I'm not sure how much he actually knows about it since I don't really ask him about it cause he's so busy and doesn't live with me. When I was a kid though, he would always tell me about writing programs and hacking into coworkers computers to prove a point. Which always fascinated me that you could hack into someone else's computer without them knowing who did it. I think that's where my love for hacking comes from. Plus, with my dad being in the IT industry I generally had a lot of tech stuff. We had two PC's when most people barely had one.

My mom on the other hand, knows nothing. If I show her how to open a document on her chromebook today, she'll ask me to do it again tomorrow.

Definitely not. Although I got interested in all things technical when watching my dad repair tractors and forklifts... and when I wanted a better computer for games, I really got into electronics and PC hardware. And since i always enjoyed electronics, as well as other electric devices, I decided to study electrical engineering...

No, my parents are a massive negative effect in my life.

your birth isnt is a pretty positive effect on your life if you ask me..

[Recon-UK]

your birth isnt is a pretty positive effect on your life if you ask me..

Not when you are beaten for 12 years of your life with things like a cain and belt buckles.

 

Son to a father who preys on helpless people, basically a monster who cannot defend himself, he has never worked a day in his life and lives of yours and our taxes.

[flibberdipper]

Nope. Actually started when my grandma gave me her old eMachines PC.

Yes, my dad has always used computers for the work he does and it kinda carried over to me. My parents weren't the only ones though, as my retired grandfather has recently started building pcs for friends and family, and allowed me to help with a computer for my family to use. It went well and I have been enthralled ever since.

[orangecat]

I think my Dad might have influenced me to get into technology because he always had the fastest *cough cough* computer in the house. he also knew more about computers than me when I was 7 but i was always tinkering with my PC to make t faster even when i didn't know what I was doing. So I guess they influenced me to get into computers and stuff but I kinda got into it myself too.
