My boss always said that, such kind of knowledge you should have. But, I don't know at all! Could anybody share me his experience in learning computer?

go to the book store, buy books about various computer related subjects. or go to the library and check them out. take some online courses, or enroll in a local college or community college.

I got started in computers by hanging around various internet forums. I started at TomsHardware. You can learn a lot just by reading through different topics and stuff.
Well said !!!!
I've spent the last years reading through the topics here at G2G,there is a wealth of knowledge and knowhow available.It helped me not only to understand the workings of my computer,it saved my butt (and my computer) by simply having read somewhere that not all software is good or will help the performance.Reading about other peoples problems has helped me to maintain my computer in good health,beabled me to even solve soft/hardware problems without to much panic.Moreover,it has prevented me from screwing up in the first place

The vast knowledge,provided by the G2G staff and members,is truly priceless.Nevermind how many books you may read,nothing beats a step by step solution given by a tiredless staffmember! Reading the topic is like looking over his/her shoulder and trust me,you're learning from the best!
Just as an exsample,the other day i interviewed a couple of mechanics,fresh from the academy.
When asked what do they know about a alternator,i was flooded with circuitdiagrams,gear-rations to ensure charging at idle speed............! However,when i asked them to show me the alternator under the bonnet,they failed miserably! First it was hidden under the enginecover,and secondly they had no idea how to take the cover off.That you don't read in books or learn at the academy!
So my advise is to stick around and take advantage of the wealth of info found right here at G2G

It just came from being around computers from the start.
And now.
All the time.

You need to find out what you are interested in. Whether it be hardware, software, networking, etc and concentrate on that. Take some old computers and try and get them working. Join the forums and read, watch, and learn.

I personally have started to study Bachelor of IT at a local university. Then I went over the complete course outline and realised that there was absolutely nothing related to "Hardware 101". That is - what do you do when you press the power button on a PC and it doesn't start? I could have completed the whole course and more - say, Masters in IT, and have no idea what to do if my computer didn't turn on properly when I pressed the power button. What use is a course like that?
I pulled out of university and followed up on my studies and experiences elsewhere.
Remember this is my personal experience. If you check out a course and decide everything looks good to you, then of course, go for it!

2 years later....here I am! It doesn't matter how old you are, if you have the desire to learn about computers you can do it! Read, read, and read some more! Then ask questions in between if you can't grasp a particular concept.
There is no such thing as a stupid question! Never be afraid to ask if you don't know.
One thing I learned too late was you can't learn it all at once! As stated by the others above, focus on just a few things at a time that are important for your needs.

After learning enough to be considered slightly above the skiddie level of hacking, I turned white hat. I have been staying in security forums and learning all I could since. I plan to go into Security Operations in a corporate IT department or penetration testing.
