How does one go about teaching a computer-illiterate person how to use the Internet?
Wierd Guy o_O;;; asked:
Recently, my 58 year old mum asked me to teach her how to use the internet/computer. And honestly, I don’t know where to begin. How would one go about teaching a 58 year-young woman how to use the net?

Its not hard. I knew nothing and I am older then your mom. She needs to just do it. If you are standing over her and walking her through ever step. She will never learn. Turn her loose and only help her when she gets in trouble. I didn’t have anyone to guide me. She can do it. If she needs help, sign her up to a beginners class.
