Computers for Seniors For Dummies
Knowing how much today's world relies on technology, people over 60 are taking computer classes and looking for ways to learn to use computers and the Internet. In classic "For Dummies" style, this friendly guide walks readers through the basics: how to turn on the computer, use the keyboard and mouse, find your way around the Windows Vista
operating system, understand files and folders, and so on. It uses a larger text font and a larger size for figures and drawings, making the book accessible and easy to read. It helps seniors learn to use the Internet to write e-mails, plan vacations, get driving directions, obtain financial and legal information, research any topic, and find information on issues of importance to them. It makes learning technology less intimidating and more fun.
