An expert is a person with extensive knowledge of a subject (e.g., computers) or a specific category relating to the subject. For example, someone with several years of computer experience is often considered a computer expert.

Note

A person who works on a computer all day may not necessarily be a computer expert. There are a lot of different parts to computers. For example, a web developer who works with Linux all day may be unable to help you with your Windows problems.

How do I become a computer expert?

Becoming a computer expert requires a life-long journey of spending time daily using and learning more about computers. As you learn more, you'll realize how much there is to know.

The more you know, the more you realize you know nothing.
