Information. Learn to use the internet

The internet or World Wide Web is the largest information source ever in the the history of the earth as far as we know. I have taught myself how to fix almost any issue with a home desktop or laptop computer. I have learned how to fix any problem due to hardware (Hard drive, motherboard, memory, CPU, etc.) or software (Windows, Linux, ect.) I have learned by watching videos, reading, joining forums with other people who know this stuff and other places on the internet. I have come to the point that I can fix any problem on a Windows based computer no matter how bad. Right now I am trying to teach myself how to program Java. Not the easiest thing to understand but with a lot of work it's amazing what you can learn from the information on the internet.

Some time ago my sister asked me if I could look at her computer. It was infected. I looked at it and decided I could not fix it without loosing all her data. I started learning how to remove infections that day. Today I could remove an infection like that in a few hours (maybe less) The information was right in front of me on the web. I just didn't know where to look. Someone who had the information fixed the problem.

The ability to repair computers is useful but the world is changing. People are using hand held devices and laptops to access the internet and communicate. I use a laptop most of the time. The home "desktop" computer is being used less and less. Soon the ability to fix home computers will not be needed. It's important (but hard) to keep up with the changing world.

The information on the internet is endless. Learn to search for the answer to any question you have. The internet is the greatest source of information in the history of the world. We should be the most educated population in history. You still have to do the work and put in the time and effort.
