prompter: ¡Hello! I want to know how to begin to learn the basics of a computer use, can you help me with this? also a roadmap for me to follow including at least five key topics would be very appreciated!
If you could also manage the key topics as an entry point for me to return to the learning proccess and helping me to have consistency would be a plus!

assistant: Hello! I'd be happy to help you learn the basics of using a computer. Here's a roadmap with five key topics that will help you get started:

1. Basic Computer Terminology: Before diving into any computer software or hardware, it's important to understand some basic computer terminology. Some common terms include: hardware, software, operating system, files, folders, and applications.

2. Operating System Navigation: An operating system is the software that manages your computer's hardware and software resources. The most common operating systems are Windows, Mac, and Linux. Learning how to navigate your operating system is key to using your computer effectively. Some key topics to focus on include: using the desktop, navigating folders, creating and saving files, and managing system settings.

3. Internet Browsing: The internet is a vast resource that can be used for research, communication, and entertainment. Knowing how to navigate the web is a crucial skill for any computer user. Some key topics to focus on include: using web browsers, searching for information, bookmarking websites, and understanding web security.

4. Word Processing: Word processing software is used to create, edit, and format text documents. Learning how to use a word processor is useful for creating resumes, reports, and other documents. Some key topics to focus on include: creating and formatting text, adding images and other media, and using templates.

5. Basic Troubleshooting: While computers are incredibly useful tools, they can also be frustrating when things go wrong. Learning how to troubleshoot basic computer issues is an important skill for any user. Some key topics to focus on include: restarting your computer, managing storage space, and resolving common software issues.

By focusing on these five key topics, you'll have a strong foundation for using your computer effectively. Remember to take your time, practice regularly, and don't be afraid to ask for help when needed. Good luck with your learning journey!

prompter: Thank you so much for this roadmap! Can you please expand on the first topic?

assistant: Sure, I'd be happy to expand on the topic of Basic Computer Terminology.

1.	Computer: A machine that can store, retrieve and process data.
2.	Hardware: The physical components of a computer, such as keyboard, monitor, CPU, motherboard and memory.
3.	Software: The programs that run on a computer, including the operating system, applications and utilities.
4.	Operating System (OS): The software that controls the basic functions of a computer, manages system resources and provides a user interface.
5.	Central Processing Unit (CPU): The primary component of a computer that does most of the processing.
6.	GPU (Graphics Processing Unit): A specialized component that handles complex graphics and video processing tasks, used to accelerate calculations related to graphics such as 
        gaming, video editing and CAD.
8.	Memory: The component of a computer that stores data and programs for quick access by the CPU.
9.	Storage: The component of a computer that stores data for long-term use, such as hard disk drives, solid state drives, and USB drives.
10.	Input Devices: Devices that allow users to enter data into a computer, such as a keyboard, mouse and scanner.
11.	Output devices: Devices that display data or output from a computer, such as a monitor, printer, and speakers.
12.	Peripherals: Devices that are not necessary for the basic operation of a computer but can be added to enhance its functionality, such as a webcam or external hard drive.
13.	Network: A group of computers and other devices that are connected together to share resources and communicate.
14.	Internet: A global network of computers and other devices connected to share information and resources.
15.	Browser: A software application used to access and view websites on the Internet.
16.	Uniform Resource Locator (URL): A unique address that identifies a web page on the Internet.

assistant: Absolutely! Basic computer terminology is foundational knowledge that will start the journey to understand how computers work. (Helps a lot to know what to search for too!)

Here's some key words to get you started:


**Hardware**
 - The physical components of a computer, such as the keyboard, monitor, central processing unit (CPU), and graphics processing unit (GPU).

**Operating System**
 - The software that manages a computer's hardware resources and provides a platform for other software to run on. Common examples include Windows, Mac, and Linux.

**Software**
 - Programs and applications that run on a computer, such as word processors, web browsers, and games.  

**Folders**
 - Folders are used to organize files and make them easier to find and manage.

**Files**
- Files are digital documents, images, videos, or any other type of data that you can store on your computer.

assistant: Sure! Hardware refers to the components in the real world. The tangible ones. Mouse, keyboard, that kind of stuff. Software refers to the intangibles like programs (instructions to operate the hardware). Files, folders, and applications are merely software paradigms we use to understand the work environment within the operating system. It’s our way of bringing the real world (think office space) into the software world so we can be more productive.
