I personally never had the chance of a University education, but today this all has changed, with a computer and access to the internet.

My father was born in a small mining village in the valleys of Wales in the United Kingdom. His education was curtailed at the age of 12 to be sent to work down a coal mine. Computers had not been invented.

His aim for his only son was that he would have the education he never had.

Hence I was educated through the State system, which had me taking an exam at the age of eleven to determine if my education was to become academic or technical.

I was not at all academic. Thoughts of going to University were never considered. Computers were expensive and only just becoming available.

I managed to get one "O"level examination and left school to work in the photographic department of a printing company. Whilst in their employ I went to college to study photography one day a week. Using for the first time a personal computer and here I attained a City & Guilds diploma in Commercial Industrial Photography.

When I became the father of two sons and a daughter it was my aim to offer them an education that had surpassed my opportunities and, to this end, they all had use of computer technology and access to the Internet.

My eldest son, a keen musician, had the opportunity of entering King Williams College, under a bursary, a boarding school in the Isle of Man. He worked hard and obtained grades that enabled him able to go to Durham University in the UK, using computers extensively. However, after two years he decided that he no longer wanted to be a poor student and set off for employment in London. Here he met his wife to be and went to the USA where he is now writing computer programmes for an insurance group.

My second son, having attained the required results in school to go University, decided it was not for him and after a gap year was accepted into the Royal Air Force where he now works as ground staff in avionics/electronics extensively using computers on Harrier aircraft.

My daughter attained the chance to go to Salford University" in the United Kingdom having worked very hard in school using computers and the internet for much of her course work. She attained a Bachelor of Science Degree as a Physiotherapist and now works at Liverpool Hospital.

This brings us up to today where I now find that you now do not even have to step outside your own home to attain a University degree. Just log on to the World Wide Web, search for a College or University and study and attain a degree in just about any subject of your choice. My! How times have changed"
