My very first computer

Emily here. I love playing games with my friends online, so when I asked my dad for a computer, he surprised me with one as a birthday gift this year. I have never used a computer before, as I always had an old laptop. Although I'm excited to learn more, I find computers to be bulky and complicated machines, requiring a lot of parts like a keyboard, mouse, UPS, CPU, and monitor. My older brother is also into gaming, so I hope he can teach me everything about computers, including software programs, hardware, and even how to install a webcam.
