Introduction to Your Computer

Is your computer a strange mysterious box that sits under your desk? Are you afraid that if you press the wrong button it will stop working or catch fire?

If so this is the course for you. We start at the very beginning by looking inside the computer, and will describe each of things that make up this magic box. You will know what a ‘hard drive’ looks like, find out what RAM is, and what the power supply looks like.

This course is designed to take the fear out of computers and will give you confidence to tackle some of the simple problems yourself. We will also look at the basic tasks you may need to perform to be able to use your computer more effectively.
