Program Description

Event Details

There are lots of confusing concepts and jargon surrounding our computers and their use.  In this class we will discuss many, many of the questions that you may have, or maybe didn’t even know that you have!  For example:

  • What is the difference between a modem and a router?
  • What is the difference between RAM and a hard drive?
  • What are Megabytes?
  • What is an Operating System?
  • What is a Chromebook?
  • How can I use a larger monitor with my laptop?
  • Why does my wireless printer have wires?
  • What is a Browser?
  • What is the Cloud?
  • What is Streaming?
  • And many more!

And of course, come with questions of your own!
