I am always learning stuff about computers and I switch between saying "The Path of the Computer Knowledge" and "The Ways of Computers" every time. When I use those expressions I want to express that I dedicate my life to the pursuit of knowledge and nothing else. Which would be the best to use, and why? I understand the exact meaning of the first one (The Path of the Computer Knowledge) but I can't understand completely the meaning of the second one. |

As Barrie says, neither of these expressions works for a native speaker. "The ways of computers" makes sense, but it does not mean what you want, as Barrie says. "The path of computer knowledge" (not "the computer knowledge") is possible, but sounds very stilted, as if you are trying to write poetry. It also jars a bit, because it combines the poetic "path of" with the prosaic "computer knowledge". "The path of the computer" works better, because the poetic "the path" matches the literary abstraction "the computer" (a literary way of saying "computers in general"). So this phrase reads better, but is still rather poetic for your purpose. I suggest "the study of computers". |

A native speaker would be unlikely to say either to express the meaning you have in mind. If the ways of computers means anything at all, it refers the strange behaviour that computers may sometimes display. It seems to me that what you need to say is something like:
