You don't have to know everything to be comfortable with computers. But there is a lot of information that will help you understand why things are the way they are... and how disaster can strike! "Knowledge is power!" So it's to your advantage to gather all the knowledge that you can. Besides which, computers are lots of fun - when they aren't driving you insane!!! The lessons in this Computer Basics section explain a lot of the techno-babble that you hear about computers. The goal is to learn enough that you can follow along as computer technology becomes more and more important in our world. Computer Concepts does not require you to touch a computer, except to read the lessons. Other sections will guide you in actually using a computer, starting with Windows Concepts.
