//Using The Internet// The first step to using the internet is to open a __window__ onto your __desktop__. To open a internet browser, click on the internet icon, examples are Internet Explorer, Mozzila Firefox, and Safari. After clicked on, a new screen should pop up. This is the window. To go to a certain webpage on the internet, type in a web address into the URL bar, such as [|www.yahoo.com]. If you aren't looking for a specific webpage, you should use a __search engine.__ You should use a search engine like [|www.google.com]. To search on a search engine, type in a keyword into the box and click on "search." Numerus __links__ should appear, each leading to a differnet webpage! Read the discription under the link to see which link you are most likely to find information from. When picked, clicked the desired link. A new page should pop up. If your computer is slow, DO NOT keep clicking or smashing the keyboard. The computer will just get even more confused, and it will be even slower! You have just used the internet!

//Keyboard Shortcuts and combanations// When you are on the computer, you may see that there are lots and lots of controls! To make things easier, the controls have combanation right on the keyboard! These are called __keyboard combanations__. There are a couple of computer combanations, like F1=help, Alt+tab= switch windows, and windows logo+L=log out! There are also things called __Program Key Combanations.__ These are most commonly used. Here are most of the combanations.... These Combanations will become very helpful!

//Installing Your USB Flashdrive// A __USB Flashdrive__ is a memory system that allows you to save into the flashdrive and open the saved file on a totally different computer. The first step is to actually get the flashdrive, which is in most of the general stores.(Target, Walmart, Walgreens, ETC.) Some may have lower space while some have more space. It's all in the bytes to K, MB, GIG and Terabytes system. There is a chart at the bottom. Almost all flash drives' spaces are measured by GIG(Gigabytes) Megabyte, Kilobyte, and Byte measured Flashdrives are NOT made. It is almost impossible to get one.To use the flash drive, plug it in to the __USB port__. The USB port is located on the computer box for Dell and HP computers (not sure about apple). Plug it in. most will say "use this now?" or "do you want to update?" and so on. Just "X" these out. For Windows users, go to windows logo and go to "Computer." If you click it, files will appear. Your flashdrive should be under "Devices with removable storage." Click. Drag in or drag out files, programs, ETC. You have just used you USB Flashdrive! //*Please Note that to be COMPLETELY perfect, it takes 1024 bytes to make 1// //Kilobyte. Most people will understand when said "1000" bytes.Note That there// //are absolutely more units, but these are the most commone ones(examples are-// //petabytes,exabyte,zettabyte, and yottabytes.//^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ //Keyboard Combanation Smileys and abbreviations// lol=laugh out loud, np=no problem, JK=just kidding, TTYL=talk to you later, OMG=oh my gosh, thx=thanks, ty=thank you, asap=as soon as possible, =grin, =big grin, BRB=be right back, IDK=i dont know, BTW by the way, CU see you, CUL see you later, DIKU=do I know you?, w8 wait, GAL get a life, L8R later, WU what's up?,
