In our fast-changing world, digitalization has taken over almost aspect of our lives ranging from how we interact with others (social media), how we shop(e-commerce) to entertainment and so much more. Having computer knowledge is no longer a matter of choice but a necessity.

In this article, we have highlighted 6 easy ways you can acquire or improve your knowledge of computer.

1. Identify what you require to know:

First of all, you need to understand what you want to achieve with the knowledge you are seeking. Do you want to get better at operating computer and doing basic stuff like typing, sending emails and browsing the internet, or you want to build a career in the IT world? The question to this answer will determine how far you can go in acquiring computer skills. If you need to perform simple operations on the computer, you might just stop at acquiring just the basic skills you need and not bother yourself with the technical aspect of it.

2. Start from the Basics.

You should start by getting a computer for yourself. If you don’t have prior knowledge of computers, you can start by learning how to switch on and off the computer, then get ahead by learning the basic skills in computer like typing and browsing the internet and climb from there depending on what you want to achieve. There are unending skills and coding languages one can learn on the computer. Don’t limit yourself.


3. Buy Books and Manuals.

Visit your local library or bookstore and get one for yourself. Subsequently, you can also download materials online and start reading and practising with your computer.

5. Get a Mentor.

Get someone who is knowledgable about the computer or an expert to teach you. It is easier to learn from someone who already knows. The knowledge, advice and resources the mentor shares with you will help you improve.

6. Try it Yourself.
