Pass. Interview.

Nowadays, almost everyone has such a device as a laptop. For example, people... They also want to keep up with modern technologies. Therefore, this article will help you understand the basics of using a laptop.

The training system is divided into several stages.

First of all, it is worth mastering some computer concepts. Research shows that there is nothing difficult about using a laptop. However large number information instills fear about the impossibility of using the device. But here everything depends only on the wishes of the pensioner.

Mastering a laptop easily with video tutorials

Here are the first features of the laptop:

• A clear advantage among communication devices is the program that provides free videos contacts with any subscriber around the world who has a computer with installed Skype and the Internet.
• You can type text on it and then print it, and you can create a large number of copies without using carbon paper. If you make a mistake in the text, you do not need to use the eraser; you can simply delete it with one keystroke. So, a typewriter is no longer needed!
• The laptop copes well with, or done on the phone. That is, he is able to edit, correct the necessary qualities, or remove some effects.
• Using a laptop, you can send a letter to relatives or friends anywhere in the world.

As you already understand that you are a laptop user, the device itself has an operating system that has several versions. At the same time this system capable of performing many tasks. If the laptop is connected to the network, then it has a large number information that can be obtained from the results of a search query.

You can search for information on the Internet by specifying email address site or just its name in address bar. Remember, if you are looking for a site using an address, enter the characters very carefully; if even one letter or sign is entered incorrectly, you will be taken to a completely different site, and accordingly it provides different information.

The site address is always written in Latin characters. can be done using the two key combination “Alt+Shift”. Google is considered the most popular search engine. It is she who will provide a large selection of information that matches your request.

To carry out this or that operation, you can use hot keys or the mouse. They are a combination of keyboard buttons, sometimes there is only one button. This method is mainly used by those who do not have the skills to use a mouse.

However, there is an opinion that in order to master a computer, at least at an initial level, it is not necessary to know all the principles of its operation and technical specifications. Computer programming doesn't have to be stressful.

Remember that the more often you return to a particular task on your laptop, the faster your use skills will become moderate.

The most difficult part is mastering the mouse. Double right click... Some one double click replaced with two single ones. However, these are completely different things. Therefore, a pensioner can stop at this stage of training for a certain period of time. But in the future, you can confidently make such a click with any number of clicks.

A laptop is no longer a luxury, so even an elderly person sometimes has to turn to it for help, since typewriters and paper letters have long been out of fashion and are much harder to use. This device can perform a wide range of varied information.

For quicker and more understandable learning how to use a laptop, it is better to use training video courses recorded on DVDs. For a better idea of ​​the course, watch the video review from Uncle Sasha. It's simple, easy and not expensive!

A good disk for mastering a laptop. Helped me a lot!

Alexander Sergeevich Kokovikhin, Kirov

After reading this article, the thought comes to mind that it is impossible to understand computer basics reading these recommendations not only for older people, but also for young people. It’s painful that everything is described in such a confusing way that you can’t understand anything.

It’s much easier to gain skills through visual examples while working in programs, watch grandpa’s review in the video clip, or, as a last resort, view screenshots (pictures from the monitor screen) with step-by-step explanations.

The most real current method remains when smart heads take you by the hand and lead you to the goal, forcing you to press required keys keyboard, direct the mouse pointer for you, forcing you to click in the indicated places. But this method obliges your mentor to be with you all the time, being the most expensive of all training options.

The article will tell you what a computer is and how to use it.

Navigation

Nowadays, a huge number of people can use a computer and laptop. But people are not born with these skills; everything starts from scratch.

Beginners are interested in how to master a computer and laptop from scratch? Where to start self-study computer/laptop? Let's talk about this in our review.

What is the difference between a computer and a laptop?

Almost nothing. The main difference between a computer and a laptop is portability. If a computer is a stationary device, then a laptop is a mobile device. That is, the computer needs to be installed on the table and used in the future, but the laptop can be freely carried with you, which is what it is intended for.

Both a computer and a laptop consist of a keyboard, monitor, mouse, processor, RAM, etc. Only on a computer all these components are connected to each other, while a laptop is like a single monolithic device.

Installed on both computer and laptop operating system, For example, " Windows" (most common) or " Linux" If you master, say, a computer, then you can work on a laptop without difficulty and vice versa. Therefore in this review We will not give two instructions, but will talk about how to use the computer.

The operating system is a kind of “soul” of the computer. This software, which makes it possible to work on a computer. When you turn on the computer, it is the operating system that starts working first, we see this when the monitor lights up:

Let's start studying the computer with the operating system

If there were no operating system, we would only see a black screen and some incomprehensible letters and numbers that are of no use to us. Working on a computer is actually working with programs that, as a whole, make up the operating system.

You see how the mouse cursor runs across the screen - this is the work of the operating system. What about typing? Photos? Video? Even sounds from speakers are only possible thanks to the operating system. In the last century, music was listened to from the record on which the song was recorded. Currently audio and video files are presented in digital format, that is, in the form of programs.

The operating system allows you to “revive” your monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers and all the devices that together make up your computer. Without it, a computer is just a “non-living” iron organism. Remember, the operating system is the soul of the computer.

"Windows"

In general, operating systems can be different. Some of them are very well known, others are not very common among ordinary ordinary users.

« Windows" refers to the most common operating systems, which is distinguished by its convenience and is excellent for use not only by specialists, but also ordinary people at home.

« Windows"also happens different versions: « Windows 95», « Windows 7», « Windows XP», « Windows 8», « Windows 10"etc. The most common are seven, eight and ten. The once popular Windows XP"is officially considered obsolete, although it is quite possible to work with it now.

Distinguish versions " Windows» between each other, based on appearance:

There is also another easy way to find out what version of the operating system is installed on your computer:

• Click on the button in the lower left corner " Start» left mouse button
• Next, click on the item “ Computer" (or " My Computer") with the right mouse button.
• Then in the new window that opens, left-click on the item “ Properties»

• After this, a folder will open containing information on your operating system

Let's find out what operating system is installed on our computer

So, we briefly learned what an operating system is. Now let's start examining the computer itself.

Studying the PC device

Computer parts

In order to learn how to use a computer, you first need to study its design. That is, you need to know what devices are part of such a concept as a “personal computer”.

In principle, most people have an idea of ​​what the components of a computer are called, but we will explain everything in more detail to make it easier for beginners to operate these parts.

So, the computer consists of:

• Internal parts- these are the elements that make up the system unit (a large box with a power button). In principle, the system unit is the computer itself. And everything else, for example, a mouse, are simply components of this computer.
• External parts– these are, in fact, the components of the computer that we connect to the system side (keyboard, etc.).

In turn, all the described parts of the computer can be classified based on their interaction with humans:

• Input devices– these are devices that allow a person to give instructions to a computer (mouse, keyboard).
• Output devices– devices that transmit information from a computer to a person (monitor, speakers).
• I/O devices- these are, accordingly, those devices that combine the concepts described above (disk drive).

Now let's talk about the main devices, without which working on a computer will be impossible.

System unit

What does the system unit look like?

So, the system unit is the brain of the computer. To understand why the system unit is such an important component of a PC, you just need to study what is inside it.

Inside system unit located motherboard- this is a kind of huge microcircuit into which, in fact, absolutely all the elements of the computer are built in: the processor, RAM, video card, sound card, disk drive, as well as all connectors (to which a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. network cable and everything else).

You can also connect to the system unit Wi-Fi device, and TV tuner, and game consoles. This is a matter of taste and needs. When purchasing, you yourself order what kind of computer you need: for games, for watching videos, or just for accessing the Internet. On the basis of this, the system unit with all its constituent elements is assembled.

There are at least two buttons on the system unit: turning on the computer and rebooting:

Power button on the system unit

All other important parts of the PC, such as a monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers, are already selected for the system unit. That is, when buying a computer, you need to start with the system unit, and then select everything else for it. By the way, you can freely change your monitor or keyboard if they break down or no longer meet your requirements. But with a laptop, this number will no longer work.

Monitor

computer monitor

Everyone knows what TV is. Everyone was watching him. A computer monitor is not exactly a TV, but it performs the same function, that is, the function of displaying information on the screen. If, in the case of a TV, such information is transmitted through an antenna or tv cable (analog signal), then to computer monitor information is transmitted from the system unit. Even more precisely, the signal comes from the video card, which is located in the system unit, as we learned above.

Monitors have various sizes, which is determined, for example, by the long diagonal of the screen and is measured in inches. The picture quality does not depend on the screen size. The quality of the image is determined by a parameter such as screen resolution. That is, the number of pixels (electronic dots) per square inch. These dots on the screen make up the image. Accordingly, the more dots (the higher the screen resolution), the better, clearer and more vibrant the picture.

Computer speakers

Computer speakers

Just like a monitor, speakers receive a signal with information from the system unit, but they only output it not in the form of an image, but in the form of sound. This signal is transmitted from the system unit via the sound card.

Computer speakers differ from regular classic speakers in that they also have an audio amplifier inside. Sound card transmits only an analog signal (for example, like a player), and then the signal, as usual, is processed in an amplifier and goes to the speakers. Computer speakers have a cord with an outlet precisely because they connect an audio amplifier (not speakers) to the network.

Keyboard

Computer keyboard

Above we discussed output devices, now let's talk about input devices and start with the keyboard.

Everyone knows that the keyboard is designed to type text, which we then (or rather not “later,” but immediately) see on the screen. The keyboard, accordingly, has all the necessary keys with letters, numbers and other symbols.

There are also keys here, thanks to which we can give the computer certain commands. For example, if we press the key " Caps Lock ", this will give us the ability to print text in capital letters, well, or start the word (name, title) with a capital letter. By pressing the keys that have arrows on them, we can scroll the page (on the Internet, or in some folder on the computer) up or down.

Mouse

This is the name computer mouse received for the reason that it slightly resembles a living mouse, that is, it has a body and a tail (cord):

Computer mouse

A computer mouse is designed primarily so that we can move the cursor on the monitor screen with the greatest comfort. If we used only the keyboard, it would cause us unnecessary trouble and take a lot of time.

A standard mouse has two buttons (left and right) and a wheel. Left button provides, as it were, basic actions when we, for example, move the mouse cursor over a folder and open it by clicking on this button. In the same way, we close windows and programs - hover the cursor over the cross icon and click on the left button.

The right button is responsible for additional actions, for example, opens a menu or additional windows. The wheel allows you to scroll the page up and down, as is done with the corresponding keys on the keyboard.
