Things to Do!!! With a home PC

This blog is inspired by a client of mine who wanted to know what a home pc was for besides solitaire. I thought it was a funny, but good idea for a blog. I know that alot of you readers have plenty to do on your computer, but this is for the person, who doesn't have a clue and would like to have one.

So... first things first. What you use your PERSONAL computer for is PERSONAL. I can't tell you what to do on it. I can provide ideas, give suggestions, and possibly spark some inspiration, but thats about it. So I will do my best to do just that.

1. It all depends on your hobbies. Your computer combined with the internet can provide a wealth of possibilities. If you like photography, you can start using different photo editing tools along with a digital camera, to create a photo liberary. Then you can upload those photos onto the internet to share with your friends and family

2. The internet is almost a must, but not always. Go to your local computer store and buy a video game. There are so many out there to choose from. Action, Adventure, Shoot em' up games, Stragity, etc.

3. Step out of your comfort zone. Try something new. The computer is so open to so many possibilities. You can use it to learn, to teach, to play, to discover. One good idea would be to subscribe to a computer magazine and gain ideas from there.

I guess, if I could sum all this up into a few simple ideas it would be this. Get high speed internet if you don't already have it, Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, try something new, and look into different resources for good ideas.

I hope this helps.
