Hey list,
As seasoned computer pros, I thought I'd ask you people to think back to the days when you were not so seasoned (I guess the opposite of "seasoned" is "plain"?)...
You're learning how to use a computer. You're learning about this thing called the Internet. What basic skills and basic terminology can you remember having to learn/wonder about as a complete and total newbie?
So far, I've come up with:
*Basic computer terminology (desktop, mouse, boot, drive, modem, connection, screen saver, desktop theme, Web browser, navigation, icon, menu)
*Basic Web browser navigation
*How to cut and paste text
*How to manipulate a two- or three-button mouse
*Using screen savers and desktop themes
*Email etiquette
*saving/naming files
Thanks in advance for any input. And in case you were wondering, I'm not doing this for my health or because I have too much free time or because it's such a kick--it's for work.
Thanks,
Beth
