Getting Started Using a Computer
This program is an introduction to choosing and using a computer. We'll talk about the basic kinds of computers (desktop, laptop, netbook), about hard drives and memory, about connecting a digital camera, printer, and even a TV, about ways to connect to the Internet, and will touch upon the great Mac/PC debate. We'll demonstrate the basics of using a web browser to connect to the web, and discuss some of the services available on the Internet to make your computer use more efficient and productive.
