Eventhough I am Latin and came to this country when I was in my early twenties. I had the opportunity to have access to new computer technologies by way of my employer in 1989, and from that point on my desire and interest to learn and a pursue a career in technology increased my opportunities of a better future in this country. I started working as a warehouse employee in a computer parts wholesaler and manufacturer of personal computers in Miami, Florida. Before working for this company, I spent two years working in different low skill positions like supermarket clerk, warehouse clerk for an apparel company. At that time I could had not imagine in my wildest dream that personal computer technology would play a decisive role in the development of business, economical, social and political life of this country. Personal computer started to play a big role in my life by accident and necessity at the same time because at that moment the only interest I had in my life was to make a living. Therefore, I could provide food and a roof for my family. .
