10 Google Tips for a Novice Internet User
- From RSS
Alexey Shelestenko, Google Russia Marketing
Do you remember how you started using the Internet? How did you learn the basics, how did you learn to “turn over” pages, how did you discover new opportunities for yourself?
I remember how it was with me. Then, in the summer of 1996, I found out that I would soon have the Internet. I decided that I should prepare in advance to immediately feel like a fish in water there, and bought the book “ Internet for Dummies”". So yellow. A lot of incomprehensible words fell upon me - browsers, email clients, protocols, Eudora, FidoNet, Elm / Pine, http, ftp, telnet ... All this was wildly exciting and exciting, but it didn’t bring any clarity. When I sat down at the computer, I just learned to work on the Internet by trial and error and watching how others do it. The Internet gradually became more familiar and close.
It's hard to believe, but for millions of people around us, the Internet is still not a familiar friend. Someone just started using it; for some, the Internet comes down to receiving and sending work mail; someone is not at all friends with the computer, is afraid of viruses or does not want to spoil something in the computer of his son (grandson). And someone just has no one to ask if something is not clear.
To help those who are still afraid of the Internet or bypassing it “out of harm's way”, we have created a small beginner's guide: 10 Google tips for beginning Internet users . In 10 short videos, we tried to explain the basics of working on the Internet in an accessible language, accompanying each tip with illustration and commentary. In a fun and laid-back manner, Nikolai Fomenko will tell you (or your loved ones) how to save the file to your disk, send an email or come up with a good password.
Starting this project, we tried to take the place of a novice user and presented what questions he had. Our relatives and friends served as an excellent source of inspiration: for sure, many of you have heard phrases such as “I saved a file from the Internet, and now I don’t know where to look for it” (hello, mom!); “What is my email address? www. .. "; “But I didn’t know that you don’t need to click on the link twice.”
Feel free to send your inexperienced friends and relatives to www.google.com/internetsovety (Internet tips) - we hope that Google will help them make friends with the Internet and “tame” it. Who knows - maybe soon you will already have regular video chat with them (hello, mom!), And the next question from your grandmother will be “What is your Twitter account?”
