I would like to share a book called Computers for Seniors I purchased at Half Price Books in Watauga, Texas. This is the book store we use to purchase books for Charlie for school.
I wish I had found Computers for Seniors when my mom was alive. If I I had been able to get her a computer. My mom kept asking me to help her out and to teach her how to use the computer but I never had the opportunity to purchase a computer for her.
Before you ask me no, I am not a senior although some people do think 55 is a Senior. I guess if I could get free things then I will be a pre-senior because I could save money.
Charlie is going to sit down and read Computers for Seniors with me because I have a couple things I’ve been struggling with on the blog. I hope Computers for Senors will answer my questions.
The three chapters Charlie and I will start with are Introducing Apps because I’m not sure which Apps I should or shouldn’t use. Or why I need the Apps they recommend.
The second chapter I want to read and implement in my work is The Photos App chapter. I always have to take pictures for my work (blog). Not knowing how to delete the photos from the computer uses up all of my memory.
Third I can’t wait to read Files and Folders so I can learn how to organize my work and keep my computer organized. I will not spend all day searching for the things we need.
