Things every computer user should know

People just getting started with computers and particularly the internet often feel like there is an overwhelming amount of stuff they should know. This should help a little.

Topics that I intend to cover:

• The ten things you wish you already knew

  • Scary Stuff

    • Lies, Damn Lies and Anti-Virus

    • How to not get hacked

• Things you're probably doing wrong

• Do this or lose your important files

  • How stuff works

    • Email - the basics

      • Web pages - the basics

  • Guides to social media for the apathetic

    • • Why most social media is for women, a guide for men

      • Using Facebook the manly way

      • Twitter - guide for twits

      • The history you ought to know but don't really care about (MySpace, Geocities, Napster)
