So
you want to know about computers? The most important thing
to remember, if you are new to computers, is not to be afraid
of them. They are just another electrical appliance, and
unless you do something drastic, I promise you they wont
blow up in your face!
Trial and error is your best friend when learning about
computers and a few tips on computer jargon will help a
long way. I love jargon it is so creative- who on earth
thought of "cookies"?
Lets begin with some basics, computers were first created
in 1936, and Microsoft Windows was born in the 1980s. Since
then computers, or should I say programmers, have become
smarter and smarter, creating the wonderful array of program
freedom that we now enjoy in our daily lifestyle of computing.
So lets get ourselves up to date with the meaning of some
of the computer jargon, or what some of the bits are, and
what they do in your computer |
