What is the best way to self educate myself on general computer knowledge? I want to be one of those people that know how to take apart a laptop and put it back together in no time. I want to know what all the parts do, what purpose they serve, whatever the heck a bios is, what video card to look for for whatever purpose and everything else. Where should i start?

Not like “this is a mouse”, but things that will help me be a computer engineer.
Im not sure if Best Buy is good for that, but being around computers may help.
Also take not that this is a first job, something to do during high school. Nothing I will be doing my whole life, just a way to make money, and learn.

Thanks!

Hey. So, I’m 33, and I am pretty much a novice when it comes to computes. Obviously, I know the basics, like the internet and plugging things in, but I’d like to start a career in IT and/or computer maintenance. I’m interested in fixing computers, networking, and basic programming. So, is it too late to start? If not, WHERE should I start? Any books? Online resources? Thank you.

Learn about things like proxy servers, wireless networks, how operating systems work behind the scenes. I’d like to learn about them to the level of knowing what each adjustable setting is for in these aforementioned things.

If there was a better way to learn these things (without taking a course,) I’d be curious about that as well.

Thanks.

I want to learn almost everything about computers, that is how to build them, how to create programs, how to create operating systems, but I know very little in this fields. How can I learn all this in a manner of introductory?

Someone just moved into our house and we want to block our internet access from this person, this person is underage and we do not want them to use the internet through their laptop. I have set up WEP security, but this person accesses the internet and does not get prompted for the password. It’s weird because when I reset our router, I get prompted for the password, all the other computers in the house don’t. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

I recently got a job at Best Buy, in the Computers department. I didn’t even apply for this position, because I know literally nothing important about computers. I told them this at my interview but they assured me that everything would be fine and that it was actually a good thing that I didn’t know anything… Well the thing is they only schedule me about 2-3 days a week for about 5-6 hours, then I will get like 4-5 days off in a row, so any information that I was exposed to is now forgotten. Yesterday I was the only person in the computer department and I literally had 6 customers all come at me at once asking me what “that means, what does this do, whats the difference between such and such” I felt like a complete idiot, I tried to find someone and I kept paging people to the computer department, but they all just bailed on me. I dont even have a blue shirt yet and they just threw me out on the sales floor expecting me to know everything. I didn’t even know what DDR3 meant “I seriously thought they meant dance dance revolution” I have asked them to teach me but they just give a run threw and don’t go into much detail. last night at work a co worker said I was f*cking stupid, I almost started to cry because I am really trying, I even made flash cards, I feel so inadequate I also feel dumb because I’m like the oldest “new hire” I’m 24… Guys I know this is long and I got kinda off topic, but can you please help to be better? thanks!
