Hey, this is Koopmo for Hacker Public Radio. Today I have with me two young computer users. I have Emily. How old are you?
|
|
How old are you? I am 10. And I have Eric. How old are you? 15. Okay, Emily. How did you get started with computers? Did I?
|
|
Well, first I got my brother's old computer. I see. And then what do you do with your computer? I play Minecraft on it. Do you? And anything else?
|
|
I watch videos on it. Eric, how did you get started with computers? Well, when I first started using computers, it was you guys's computer in your room and I just used it to play games online.
|
|
And anything else? Sometimes I watch YouTube videos. Okay. Emily, what operating system did you use? Linux. And why do you use Linux? Because Linux is cool. And does it work good for you?
|
|
Yeah. Awesome. Eric, what operating system do you use? Windows 7.
|
|
And that works good for you? Yeah. Now, you just recently started using Windows 7 because of school, correct? Yeah. And what did you use before that?
|
|
Windows 8. Windows 8. And how did that work out for you? Not very good. Not very good. And why is that? Because it sucks. It's hard to do things.
|
|
Really? Now, why we discussed that you needed to use Windows for school? What do you do in school? Well, sometimes I need to use Microsoft Word or something like Photoshop.
|
|
So expensive programs? Yeah. Okay. Is that the only operating system you've ever used? I've used Linux. How did that work for you?
|
|
That's fine, but a lot of programs aren't compatible with Linux. What kind of programs do you want to use that aren't compatible with Linux? Like a lot of games.
|
|
So, Emily, what are your hopes and plans for using computers in the future? I don't know.
|
|
You're going to continue to play Minecraft and watch videos? Yeah. Anything else? No.
|
|
Eric, what are your hopes and plans for using computers? I don't know. You don't know. Well, my school uses Windows 8 and I hope they change it because it's really stupid.
|
|
Well, that's not nice. I'm sure they're going to upgrade to newer versions of operating systems. Yeah, I just don't like how they have this screen where there's everything. I like it. How it used to be where it was normal.
|
|
Do people who listen to this show not like Windows? There's all kinds of people who listen to this show. It might leaning that way. I'm sorry. I shouldn't do that.
|
|
Let's see. Are you hoping for a career in computers? Well, I want to make the new games by programming. What kind of skills do you need to learn to do that?
|
|
What do you mean? I mean, what kind of things do you need to learn to make video games? Well, I need to learn how to program tutorials and stuff.
|
|
Do you know what operating what I'm sorry? What languages you need to learn to program games? What languages are our games programmed in?
|
|
Well, there's C++. There's Java. I guess Python. Yeah.
|
|
And that's what you're learning through your school. Well, not right now, but I think we're going to learn about that.
|
|
And Emily, you don't have any thoughts in the future. I mean, you've got a long time to think about it. All right. Well, that was a short discussion with two young computer users. I hope I haven't leaned it too far one way or the other. Thank you.
