Today, we are living in a computer age. With our computers we have the unique opportunity to express ourselves throughout the world; however many people feel apprehensive when trying to learn the operations of their computers, perceiving computers as too complicated to understand. In my online interactions with people, I realized that many people have valuable insights, or wonderful things to talk about; though many simply do not know how to use their computers the way they would like in order to share their ideas with others online. Because of this, I decided to write this book, "Learning Your Computer Through Pictures". This book is designed to give you the basics in understanding and using your computer. The format is simple and all of the instructions are coupled with pictorial examples which will take away any apprehension you may have as each instruction is supported with its correlating picture every step of the way. We will cover things like the creation of documents, how to share those documents online, the operational features of the Microsoft Works word processing program, creation of video formats, navigating on the web, and insightful little tips to make things easier as you explore your computer applications. As you go through this tutorial and practice at home on your own computer you will easily find that, YOU CAN DO IT! AND, IT IS FUN TOO!

Book Description

How computer graphics transformed the computer from a calculating machine into an interactive medium, as seen through the histories of five technical objects. Most of us think of computer graphics as a relatively recent invention, enabling the spectacular visual effects and lifelike simulations we see in current films, television shows, and digital games. In fact, computer graphics have been around as long as the modern computer itself, and played a fundamental role in the development of our contemporary culture of computing. In Image Objects, Jacob Gaboury offers a prehistory of computer graphics through an examination of five technical objects--an algorithm, an interface, an object standard, a programming paradigm, and a hardware platform--arguing that computer graphics transformed the computer from a calculating machine into an interactive medium. Gaboury explores early efforts to produce an algorithmic solution for the calculation of object visibility; considers the history of the computer screen and the random-access memory that first made interactive images possible; examines the standardization of graphical objects through the Utah teapot, the most famous graphical model in the history of the field; reviews the graphical origins of the object-oriented programming paradigm; and, finally, considers the development of the graphics processing unit as the catalyst that enabled an explosion in graphical computing at the end of the twentieth century. The development of computer graphics, Gaboury argues, signals a change not only in the way we make images but also in the way we mediate our world through the computer--and how we have come to reimagine that world as computational.
