Computer Basics

Learning computer basics is a dreaded nightmare for any new computer user. There are so many things to learn about computers and the fact that they change with new updates every day, the entire learning process seems a little bit crazy. I have been working on computers for more than 15 years and when I first started to use a computer there was no such thing as Windows. You had to navigate around the computer by using DOS command lines, and believe me, computers did not look pretty in those days.

I must say, that learning computer basics now days is a lot easier, as everything is right in front of you on your desktop with a graphical interface. The Windows operating system has made it as easy as possible for you to navigate around your computer and get your job is done.

Computer literacy is the knowledge and ability to use computers and technology efficiently.

Quick computer tips for new computer users

1. Enlarge the text on the screen:

Press CTRL and + on your keyboard to enlarge text while using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Firefox. Press CTRL and - to reduce the size again.

2. Clicking on links:

Sometimes when you click on a link it might open on another tab or even in another window altogether. Often people click clicking a link because they think it is not opening. When browsing the Internet and you click on the link, it does not always open in the same window.
