Computers for Seniors: Email, Internet, Photos, and More in 14 Easy Lessons

Thank you so much for my book I couldn't wait to open it and began understanding my computer better. My children tried to show me some things but they go too fast. Now I can take my time ad go step by step with this book. I also learned that my Mail Lady don't know how to use her computer. I will purchase a book to give to her as a give. Again thank you. Knowledge is powerful when you learn how to use it well. Thanks again.

Very organized approach for seniors learning basic computer skills.

The book has a lot of information, but lacks the basics like how to text My husband's had the Iphone for a couple years & can't get the hang of using it for anything other than phone calls & games.No instructions on "how to text" is a major gap.

Got the book for my mom and she loves it. She’s always taught me if you can’t hear it then read it and she’s done stuff on her PC that I’m proud of. Thank you

I am using this book to teach people who have not used a computer very much. It goes into great detail on how to do certain things.

Bought this for my 91 yr old grandfather, and he is very happy with it.

I wrote this review for my genealogy website, but wanted to share it here as well.I don't know about you, but every time Microsoft makes a major shift if their operating system, it takes some amount of time to find where all of the familiar stuff has gone. I found that to be especially true with Windows 10. Fortunately, there's a new book to the rescue, and it's written specifically for seniors.Titled Computers for Seniors, the book contains 14 lessons with subjects such as plugging in, setting up your computer, Internet safety and security, connecting with friends and family, downloading music and video, reading ebooks with Overdrive, and much more.Weighing in at over 300 pages, the book is richly illusrated with color photos and LOTS of simple, easy-to-follow instructions. For me, Windows 10 was such a departure to my previous operating systems, it took this book's "how-to" elements to walk me through the changes so I could get back up and running doing everything I was used to.Published by no starch press in San Francisco, each chapter is broken down into simple sections. Throughout the sections you'll find activities such as 'deleting unwanted photos" or "restoring disappearing apps". At the end of each chapter is a review of everything covered in that particular chapter.If you want to go beyond basic computing, I can highly recommend this book as it delves into topics that help you REALLY get the most out of your computer. It goes way beyond web browsing and email.

If the terms mail app, google, skype and e-mailing used by friends and family members sound like they are speaking a foreign language, you are a good candidate for this this very informative and enlighting guidebook to incorporating computers and the Internet into your daily life. The book wisely begins at the beginning with solid tips and advice regarding buying and setting up your first computer, then advances to other important knowledge in 13 addition "lessons" and numerous now try-it-yourself activities. The language in this guidebook, based on Windows 10 usage, is straightforward and the authors' tone is patient and encouraging rather than condescending. Although this book is geared toward the 55-plus crowd, it's not a bad investment for computer users of any age to offer helpful advice for going beyond your current computer skill level. Computers are here to stay, so even if you are retired from the day to day rat race, there are plenty of reasons to enrich your life and have some fun by using "Computers for Seniors" to master a wide range of new skills.
