I remember how I made my first cash for service rendered as a teenager; it was through the use of my computer system. And through the years it has become very productive.

Computer systems have existed for a while, from desk top computers to more portable and touch screen computer systems.

Many people use their systems as they wish after all it’s just a machine, all you need to do is to put in some command and it outputs it.

With the growing number of unemployment in many countries and harsh economic situation, our computer systems may present a possible solution to this.

Here are a few tips on how to empower yourself through technology

Discover what best you love doing as a person, what interest you? Do you like photography, music, writing…etc., just take your time to discover what you love doing, your passion. This is very important because of continuity.

Then go on-line and see what your passion connects to in the digital world, there you will see tonnes of software recommended for what you desire.

Go on line or head to the nearest computer store near you and ask for the software you picked during your research on-line.

Most software have the help page where you can read up on how to use that particular software, you can still get lots of free tutorials and help on the Internet. If you have a friend who is already using that software you could ask for his/her assistance.
