Computer Lessons For Adults
Introduction
These lessons are intended for adults to help you understand the basics of how computers work and how to use them. Like everything else you read, these words should not be taken as the gospel truth, just someone's perceptions, and you can use your own abilities to filter and absorb what helps you, and chuck the rest.
Why is it good to learn how computers work?
Inside this head, and inside many other heads, there are two kinds of knowledge; the memory work kind of knowledge and the logical kind of knowledge.

And logic is not going to help you with the king question either, I mean, what's logical about kings anyway?
However, can you imagine the state we would be in if you had to memorize the answer to all the mathematical questions? "Okay, students, is there anyone here who hasn't memorized the answer to 457 + 7,985 - 598 ?" You can't memorize them all, but you can learn the logic behind them so you can figure them out. Then you can't be tricked!
It is important that you learn how to figure out things about computers because there are just too many things to be done with them to try to memorize it all. Any ways, as anyone who has studied hard for a test the next day knows, it's...
