This is so helpful I am 82 and am so frustrated . Today was the best day of my life finding you ! So many 😅are going to be grateful. Give us more ! ❤

[abetterfuture]

Great course. People such as myself who grew up with computers can easily forget that not everybody shared that experience. Some people actually are starting from the beginning.

[phillipnelson]

More "absolute beginner" videos, please! (Especially math and science!)

This is amazing. Thank you. We appreciate all that you do. Education and knowledge available for all!

[bryanwalker]

This course is better than brilliant. I am 84 years old and came through a professional career where total computer service was provided. So I have reached a dizzy retirement age as the original computer dumbo. By chance, I found this! It progresses at a speed I can follow and slowly defines all the technical terms. Just to say thank you is not enough to express my appreciation! I live alone and need to use and understand the Internet for my writing work and global connections.

I am 44 and Technologically Impaired. I appreciate this. I am dumb when it comes to computers but I want to learn so that I can become a Computer Programmer.

Thank you so much, at 62 I got tired of asking my kids and grandkids

[jlshoem]

I have been a computer technician for more than 30 years. This is a great video for "newbies". And even though I have a lot of experience, I watched the whole thing. Nice job. 😊

[belkispena]

I go to a vocational school and I am in a beginner computer course I already have some experience with digital literacy. However, most of my classmates are older folks so I pitch this video to my teacher and I think she’s going to consider putting it in the first course. I think this video summarizes the basics in a understanding way.

[rafaellaV]

This content is absolutely flawless! As a computer science undergrad, I'm amazed at how accessible and straightforward this video teaches the basics of computer usage. Congrats!

[SavageScientist]

Im a computer scientist and found this video is better put presented than any thing I can do.

[Dev_akash_]

Hey you are knocking up the traditional education which took years to learn these things 🔥❤️

[Frdo]

Please add many different languages subtitles! You will save most of us from our relatives and coworkers

[hellfishii]

This is a heckingbanger, Im thrilled to get the spanish version so my non tech savy relatives can learn basic computer security and be a part of the digital worrld, amazing job!

[teerich]

Wonderful video! I have 5 years experience in IT, and found this very engaging and informative. I shared with my parents who are not very tech savvy. Hope they enjoy it.

[techmentormaria]

Thank you for this basics course. I've been recommending it to people who want to enter tech recently!

[dr.mccallum]

Excellent!! I wanted to provide computer literacy training without having to reinvent the wheel, and this is a wonderful video to share. Thank you!

[muhmammdhidytllh]

Even though i've been using computers all my life, i will still watch this video just in case i'm missing something :D

[lilypennington]

A wonderful HELP even for old timers who still have a lot to learn. Thank you.

[tessieunruh]

This is 73 yrs old and I learn the meaning of certain abbrev. I think I have to listen to this again to apply my understanding on how it's explained.
