| Description | This bestselling guide has been completely revised and updated, with new chapters on shopping, banking, family trees and gardening using the Internet. How to be a Silver Surfer: 2nd edition is a companion guide for people who are new to the Internet and a little apprehensive about what to do. Using simple step-by-step explanations, it will 'hand-hold' readers through the most important tasks when first using the Internet. Topics include searching the Web, sending an email and saving a favourite Web page for future reference. Aimed at the over 50s, the emphasis is on using the Internet as a tool to enrich existing interests, such as travel, fishing, aromatherapy, cooking and fumiture restoration, and as a recreational activity in itself, including on-line bridge, researching family trees, emailing family and friends, and chat sites. It can also ensure you don't miss out on good deals and last minute bargains. This book is written in a very informal, friendly, non-technical style. Full colour illustrations and screen shots with supportive text are used extensively. |
