Programming Computers I've been working with software development since 1998 but I can't figure when I decided to be a programmer. I guess it happened when I was a teenager. My brother bought a computer called TK2000. It wasn't a computer like those ones that we have nowadays. It didn't even have a mouse! If you're a teenager it may sound strange, but I swear, it's true. To see it working, we had to plug it to a regular TV using some kind of cables that we don't have nowadays. When turned on it only showed a black screen with a white blinking "cursor" on it. You may be guessing if it had or not an operational system like Windows or Mac OSX. Not, it didn't. If you wanted to see something happening other than a white blinking cursor on the screen, you had to do it on your own. And for that, you had to be a programmer and write programs using a programming language called Basic! I think you got it! My first softwares were written in Basic using a TK2000. But my brother sold this computer and I stopped programming for almost 6 years. Because of that, I'm not sure if I really decided to be a programmer on this time.
