How to master a computer quickly and easily?! In fact, everything is quite simple!

Greetings, dear blog visitors. As always, Dmitry Smirnov is in touch with you, and in this article I would like to address, as it were, our Dear old people, grandparents, parents who cannot understand how to master a computer on their own! Tfu, how much extra literature our bookstores can provide you, but all this is not necessary, you just have to follow some tips that will help you master the computer for free!

In a previous article, I wrote that maybe this information will also be extremely useful for you! In fact, the information on the topic “mastering a computer for free” is very popular, and now I will talk about the main failures of those who are trying to master a computer!

1. Afraid of breaking something!
2. Reluctance, it's like toys!
3. It makes no sense to master the computer, because why do you need it ?!

These are the three most terrible misconceptions of all, especially the elderly, but the answers to these questions can be found in the following lines, namely:

1. Don't be afraid to break something! Computers have long been of high quality and powerful enough that stationary PCs, laptops or tablets! It was earlier in the 2000s, back in our days of the groups Ruki Vvverkh, Shark, Sveta, Kraski and everything else, when computers were really like machines, they constantly broke down, and repairs were very, very expensive! Everyone dissuaded the children from buying a computer with phrases, namely: “Why do you need it, you’ll break something and that’s it!”. Now computers are of very high quality, and the maximum that you can break is to remove any shortcut or program, you simply won’t be able to do anything serious!
2. If you have no desire to study a computer, then no one can force you to study a computer! Remember, the computer is no longer a toy, but since 2010 it has become a real source of income! Many, even schoolchildren, have ways to earn hundreds of thousands of rubles and millions on a computer without leaving home! I have examples when children at the age of 13 already earn 300,000 rubles a month! Even a pensioner will be able to master the computer, and from this you will benefit!
3. No need to be mistaken and think that you will not need a computer! Tell me, how many times have you wanted to talk to a close relative? How many times do you want to mail or spend money on calls to relatives? Having a computer and even simple access to the network for 200 rubles, you get unlimited communication, and you can even see your relative who lives 10,000 kilometers away from you live through a webcam, and all this is completely free!

1. Just sit down and break! You need to learn from mistakes! Everyone makes mistakes, even advanced programmers! Just learn how to work with the mouse, understand why the keyboard, where are any buttons!
2. Learn to type with the Keyboard Trainer! No need to buy anything, it's just a program that will teach you how to type quickly and easily! You can start typing easily and simply using just the keyboard!
3. Love to read? Then the book “computer for dummies” is for you, or start taking courses using the same Youtube

These are the only ways to learn how to work at a computer! There are no special courses and everything else! Of course, the most the best option for you it will be paid courses, and live! It is in these courses that you will be taught how to work with a computer, but even if you do not want to pay money to charlottes, you can buy a book on learning a computer, or just go to youtube, where you can find many detailed videos!

Nowadays, almost everyone has such a device as a laptop. For example, people ... They also want to keep up with modern technologies. Therefore, this article will help you understand the basics of using a laptop.

The training system is divided into several stages.

First of all, it is worth mastering some concepts of a computer. Studies show that there is nothing difficult in using a laptop. However a large number of information inspires fear of the impossibility of using the device. But here everything depends only on the desire of the pensioner.

Mastering a laptop easily with the help of video tutorials

Here are the first features of the laptop:

• A clear advantage among communication devices is a program that provides free video contacts with any subscriber around the world who has a computer with Skype installed and the Internet in his arsenal.
• It can be used for typing, followed by printing, while you can create a large number of copies without using carbon paper. If you make a mistake in the text, you do not need to use an eraser, you can simply delete it with a single keystroke. So, you don't need a typewriter anymore!
• The laptop does a good job with, or made on the phone. That is, he is able to edit, correct necessary qualities, or remove some effects.
• Using a laptop, you can send a letter to relatives or a friend anywhere in the world.

As you already understood that you are a laptop user, the device itself has operating system with multiple versions. Wherein this system capable of performing many tasks. If the laptop is connected to the network, respectively, it has large quantity information that can be obtained from the results of a search query.

Searching for information on the Internet can be done by specifying email address site or just its name in the address bar. Remember, if you are looking for a site using the address, enter the characters very carefully, if at least one letter or sign is incorrect, you will be taken to a completely different site, and accordingly it provides different information.

The site address is always written in Latin characters. can be done with a combination of two keys "Alt + Shift". most popular search engine considered Google. She will provide big choice information relevant to your request.

To perform this or that operation, you can use hot keys or the mouse. are a combination of keyboard buttons, sometimes there is one button. This tool is used mainly by those who do not have skills in using the mouse.

However, there is an opinion that in order to master a computer, at least at the initial level, it is not necessary to know all the principles of its operation and specifications. Computer programming should not bring you excitement.

Remember that the more often you return to a particular task on a laptop, the faster the usage skills will become moderate.

The most difficult moment is the development of the mouse. Double-clicking with the right mouse button... Some people replace one double-click with two single-clicks. However, these are completely different things. Therefore, a pensioner can stop at this stage of training for a certain period of time. But in the future, you can confidently make such a click with any number of clicks.

A laptop is no longer a luxury, so even an elderly person sometimes has to turn to it for help, since typewriters and paper letters have long been out of fashion and much harder to use. This device can perform a wide range of diverse information.

For quick and more understandable learning to work on a laptop, it is better to use training video courses recorded on DVD discs. For a better understanding of the course, watch the video review from Uncle Sasha. Everything is simple, easy and not expensive!

A good disk for mastering a laptop. Helped me a lot!

Alexander Sergeevich Kokovikhin, Kirov

After reading this article, the thought comes to mind that it is impossible to understand computer basics by reading these recommendations not only to people of age, but also to young people. Oh, it hurts everything is somehow confusingly described, nothing to understand.

Much easier to get skills on illustrative examples in the process of working in programs, by watching grandfather's review in the video clip, well, or in extreme cases, view screenshots (pictures from the monitor screen) with step-by-step explanations.

The most realistic method remains when smart heads take the hand and lead to the goal, forcing you to press the necessary keys on the keyboard, direct the mouse pointer for you, forcing you to click in the indicated places. But this method requires your mentor to be with you at all times, being the most expensive of all training options.
