Basic Computer Skills

Assalamualaikum!!

How are you today? Are you ready today? If you’re ready, lets go!

So, for this entry… I’m going to share with you guys about the basic of computer skills. Yeah, I knew that most of you already know about how to use the computer correctly and much better than me but it doesn’t mean that you already know all of the basic of the computer skills, okay?

First of all, do you guys know what is the meaning of basic computer skills? Basic computer skills can be defined as an ability to sit down at your computer and you have enough knowledge about how you want to use the software so that you will know what you need to do navigate either Microsoft based or industry specific software (Bugni. D, 2018). In fact, even when you know all of the basic computer skills, you still won’t become the computer literacy person even though you know how to operate the computers correctly. This is because computer have lots of component that you have to study first before you can proudly say that you yourself is a computer literacy person. Even for me, I still have a long journey to become one♥

The basic skills of the computer can be separated into two categories which is hardware and software. the hardware skills will allow you physically the knowledge on how to operate the computer. Everyone can learn the hardware skills as it is as easy as how to turn on and off the device. And it might involve more complex task like connecting machines to networks, changing parts or fixing broken devices. To learn that complex tasks, many employers will hire trained technicians with the advanced computer skills to solve it.

Another skills is the software skills. It will help you to efficiently using the computer programs and its application. There are some parts of the software skills that the employers itself may consider as prerequisites to employment. Even though the employers might not include it in some software skills on the job post or the job requirement, people should know about it. The basic of the computer skills will including if the users know how to send and receive the e-mails, as well as how to attach the documents to the e-mails and how to open it when they’re attached. This will also include if the users know how to copy and paste the information simple yet faster and using the correct ways.

It still have a long explanation to be explain but let me stop here for you as I want you to absorb it slowly. If you try to learn it in one-go, you might get information overload which is not good for your own self. The next entry, I will write about why the basic computer skills are important. Feel free to look at the next entry after I publish it ♥

Have a nice day! Fi Hizfillah 🙂
