THE COMPUTER PUPPETS were divinely inspired when the author Rene Compton, Computer Science Major, accepted a job for a large corporation providing Help Desk support for hardware and software. It soon became apparent that even well-educated adults lack the necessary skills to adapt to the ever-changing world of technology. This book is the answer to her heart's desire to help everyone become computer literate.
