Learn Basics of Computer

Many people can't use a computers maybe because they don't like to spend a time for it, and there are many addition reasons including that they don't have the basic skill to use computer, some of them once they touch the computer they feel that will be tough to handle, today I will show you that the computer is so much easy (it's not a video game but it worth effort and time to learn computer).

Basically, you need to apply the following roles before the major steps:

• If you already know how to read and write English Language, then the rest will be easy (believe me).
• If you have the will to learn computer then there is no impossible :)
• According to my long experience using computers, I will give the shortest way to learn computer.

Tips & Important Points to Focus on:

• Prepare a list of goals that you want to accomplish within specific period.
• take each goal and write down a list of tasks so you can reach to your goal.
• If you say to your self that you can not do this and this! that is called a lack of confidence, believe me if you keep saying this to your self, you can't learn computer and you will not take one step forward.
• Don't shy, ask any body who knows how to use the computer if you face problems, off course I will be for you.You can always ask me and I will be glade to help you :)
• You can always try to open every day any office applications for example Microsoft Word and try to learn each button or list of functions of the application and apply them for each session and don't forget to keep a copy of your test lessons you might need them later.

First Foot to the Computer World:

First Step:

start with this simple role (BME) which mean Begin Middle End, apply this simple role for everything you do in each step, process, or action in an application then you will figure out how to start any application or even browsing the web.

Second Step:

if you know how to use English then the hardest step is gone! , believe me when I started use the computer when I was young, it was little bit difficult because I wasn't  expert in English language (you know what I mean).However, by practicing it and spending more time on it you will learn (both English and computer) in this point you can learn computer and the same time English  but if you don't want spend time to learn then I will give you the shortest way to learn English.

Third Step:

my advice to learn computer is knowing and learning the simple basics of computer, don't rush for instant results or to become an expert within short period everything takes time and we should be patient to get what we want.The first road to learn computer is to start knowing the windows environment, simply by knowing how to custom the desktop, control panel, and so on.besides, if you are interested you can find books and read about the history of computer and internet it's really interesting.which might gives you eager to learn  about computer.

Fourth step:
if you already know the English language then you need to learn the following basic conceptions:

• Typing, and Shortcuts.
• Windows Desktop and other tools environment.
• Office Applications (like Word, Power Point, Excel, Access,Visio and so on)
• Internet.

here you can find a list of the most important Shortcuts

I hope that the above information would be helpful to my readers :)
