Michael could not imagine his life without computers. His parents bought__ him his first computer at the age of seven. It took him__ several days to learn how to use it. His mum said that the younger people were, the fastest__ they could learn computer skills. That was probably true – most children__ in Michael’s class were very competent computer users. Michael was really surprised to find out that the first personal computer was invented__ in the 70’s of the last century. 
“And how did you chat or send your e-mails without computers?” he asked his mother. 
She smiled: “We didn't send__ each other e-mails. And there were no networks.”
She also said that it had been fun__ fun to communicate face-to-face, to play out-of-doors and to visit friends’ homes.
“But if there were __ no computers, I wouldn’t be able to communicate with my friends who live far away from me,” Michael replied.
“True. Technological progress is a great thing,” his mother said “And I think people will create_ even more amazing communication devices in the near future.”

В простом времени Past Simple должны быть упомянуты (или подразумеваться) какой-то промежуток времени, событие либо обстоятельства, оставшиеся в Ясно, что always к таковым не относится, поэтому сказать просто I always wanted to visit Spain- неверно.Но, можно сказать I always wanted to visit Spain, until the recent terrorist attacks, или I always wanted to visit Spain, until the last summer, или I wanted to visit Spain to see the Olympic Games in Barselona.

Для обозначения непрекращавшегося действия или состояния, начавшегося в и поныне продолжающегося (либо только что завершившегося), используется время Present Perfect Continuous. Например, I have been working for this company for 10 years- Я работаю  в этой компании 10 лет (все последние 10 лет, и по настоящее время).

Предложение Я всегда хотела посетить Испанию должно было бы переводиться аналогично, но глагол to want не употребляется с окончанием -ing, поэтому здесь применяется Present Perfect

I have always wanted to visit Spain. Это- разновидность Present Perfect Inclusive, т.е. включающая момент, когда фраза произносится. Есть еще Present Perfect Exclusive, которое выглядит так же, но означает законченное на момент произнесения действие.
