chris82 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Err...that's a broad topic. Are you wanting to know how to use certain software? Do you want to learn to make certain software? What exactly do you want to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaz The Great Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Well I want to know about the computer, I want to be able to know the names of all stuff and programs. You can't just say "Teach me about computers".... You have to be a bit more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) Ah, anything you need to know, just ask me on MSN.. The main things you find in a PC are: Hard Drives - Hard drives are for storing your operating system, programs and files Processor(CPU) - I'm not to sure but it has something to do with running programs Graphics Card - A graphics card will output an image to a monitor Sound Card - A sound card will output audio to your speakers Disc Drive/USB/Other - These will run things you insert into your computer, a disc drive will read CDs at least, better ones will read DVDs and write on to discs. That's really the basics, but it all goes very complicated and in-depth on some of the other hardware. Edited November 20, 2007 by Connor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 You can either learn a bunch of facts about computers, or understand things about them. IMO, the best way to be 'computer savy' is to have a lot of experience with them - be it by taking hands on classes or just dealing with them all the time. Most of what I know about computers comes from hands on experience. I know about various operating systems (9x, 2000, XP, Server 2k and 2k3 (not so much)) because i have played with them. Hardware is the same, I have played with a lot of hardware. Up until last year, I didn't have much experience with laptop hardware - now that I own two of them, I'm becoming pretty good at working on laptops. So, in conclusion, I think the best way for you to learn computers is to get a cheap one or a second computer, put some different OSs on there and play with it. Break it and learn how to fix it. You can also join computer-related message boards. That might be able to give you some experience into what other people are experiencing with computers.

Connor Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Well, the way I learned most of the things is through my grandfather, he does a lot of things with computers..So I just kept asking him stuff over my 14(nearly) years of living..Then I got my own computer and started replacing disc drives, hard drives and other shit.

Spaz The Great Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Use a computer for more than video games. You'll learn more about it. It's not near as easy to learn by someone TELLING you than it is to learn hands-on. Take the computer apart and put it back together, but read a bit up on proper care first.
