If you’re an older computer user, you might find all the new technology somewhat confusing. (Heck, younger users find some of it challenging, too.) There are lots of resources out there to help you learn the new technology, but not all of it is geared towards the way seniors actually use computers. It’s true; those us over 55 use technology in a much different way than our children or grandchildren do. When you want to learn more about computers, find the solution to a vexing technology issue, or just discover what you can do with your new hardware and software, the solution is as near as your local bookstore — or online bookstore, if you’re comfortable shopping on the Internet.

Each book covers only the most important tasks, so you don’t drown in unnecessary technology overload. The focus is on how seniors use the technology – for example, using Facebook to share photos with your grandkids, or using Internet Explorer to search for seniors-specific websites and information. Just as important, each task is approached in a step-by-step fashion, using plain English and lots of four-color screenshots and illustrations. They’re the perfect books for seniors who need to use the technology but don’t want to learn all the techie details. There are currently three books in Que’s My For Seniors.
