Most of us lack confidence when approaching the unknown.
To some of us, and initially, computers may appear quite horrific.
Well, you are here now, and reading this, so you have made start.

And as you start doing more things, so you will gain more confidence
It is very difficult for an expert to see things as you see them.
And then have the patience to explain things, simply.
So clarifying, the simple basic things, in a very simple manner, would seem a good start.
The Computer:   Speed, memory and hard drives. Clean up your computer.
Scam warnings:   Examples.
 
IT is Information Technology, the computer related industry.
PC is your personal computer.
Or, perhaps, at this time, the bain of your life.
Internet is the global network you connect to to view web sites. The hardware and connecting cables.
The Web is the world of web sites, etc., which runs on the Internet.
www = world wide web
ISP = Internet Service Provider

HTML is the coding, or text, used to construct web pages.
Web Things  
So your youngest child, and your grandmother's cat, both know more about the Internet than you do.
No problem.
Most people use their computers to access the Internet.
They do a lot of searching.
Read up on the basics of searching, (see 'Using Google' below*).

Many small businesses rely on computers for records, accounts, etc.
Most programs we use require Internet access to affect updates, etc.
Web Things:   Is the Web such a wonderful thing? Internet security. Downloading music, MP3s, etc.
Search the Web: Google, Live Search. *Using Google.
 
  Web Sites   8 seconds..
You may be used to using the Internet, and be thinking of your own web site.
Many ISP's give you tools to do this.

You may, however, wish to get the satisfaction of building your own web page or web site, 'by hand' so to speak, and thereby learn HTML.
About web sites: Simple advice for those needing a web site.
Researches have shown that, generally, users do not bother with web pages that take longer than eight seconds to load.
They just go elsewhere.

Shopping Carts are notorious for losing visitors:
Slow loading in this area costs some $4.35 billion a year in sales.

Some sites may be dependant upon a heavy graphic loading.
Graphics can be optimised down to reduce the load, but too large a reduction may result in a loss of definition and quality.
