Am I too late to learn? --- End quote --- Definitely not :) Absolute age does not effect your learning capacity- health does though. But the main thing is your approach to learning. I would say that a person, of any age, with average intelligence and with the right tuition, could have a pretty good grasp of electronics within six months. At minimal cost too- books, videos, a breadboard and a few components and you would be on the way. Although not my main job, I have been involved in teaching electronics for years to an array of different types of people, and I recon that the three attributes to learning electronics, or any subject for that matter, are: positive mental attitude, logical thought, good information. Of course, all this requires hard work, and sometimes boring work. :) |

I began when I was 23 and was living in the USA (at then I was doing my masters in music) All started with, believe it or not, CIGARETTES! Yes! I used to smoke and I saw one guy on the streets using an electronic cigarette. I got so intrigued by how that little stick could put out vapor that I went to read about it. I bought some modules and built my own e-cig. (mainly following instructions from the web and with the help of you guys and the reddit community) After that...Ohms Law, books, transistors, Op-amps and the whole madness. Because I learn the theory as it is needed for the practice, it is very common for me to have very basic questions while doing a much more complicated project (if compared to the question). For ex: building a discrete symmetrical power supply but having no idea how to wire the 3p2t switch. Today Im living in Brazil, where Im originally from, and trying to cope with the insane importation taxes that makes buying components a hassle. But, I love all of this! |

Wow, 6 years the thread rested in peace and now that; but it's interesting to read I'm turning 40 soon, and I guess I got my "Radiomann"-like electronic lab with 10, but I got off the road and ended for a while in IT-only; fortunatelly this time is over |
