The aim of this book is to provide instructions and advice on a wide range of computer uses for those who feel they have been left behind in the technological revolution, most especially the over 50s. Assuming no prior knowledge of using a computer, it is written in a practical, light-hearted and non-technical style to take the terror out of technology. The author approaches the subject in a highly accessible way, focussing on the computer applications of most interest to middle and third agers, including correspondence, photography, shopping online, personal budgets and researching your family history. Starting from first basics it begins with how to switch on the computer and ends with an invaluable 'jargonbuster' glossary. The book will be made up of a series of self-contained chapters, with the emphasis on what the computer is being used for, rather than the software needed. For example: rather than a chapter on 'word-processing', there will be a chapter on 'letter writing'; rather than a chapter on 'desktop publishing' there will be chapters on 'making a newsletter' and 'creating invitations'; rather than one on 'digital photography' there will be one on ' getting photographs on to the computer' etc. There will be clear instructions supported with screenshots, tips and hints throughout. This approach will distinguish it from other books on basic computer skills as it covers what the reader wants to do with their computer, breaking down any technical barriers and making the book totally relevant and accessible to the novice computer user.
