People need to start taking computer lessons.

People really should start taking computer lessons.

I grew up with DOS 6.22, so we pretty much had to learn everything the hard way. No internet back then, so it was reading books and/or magazines and figuring stuff out with friends.

People these days have Google, YouTube, social media, forums, etc. Still they seem to be completely lost with their devices all the time.

And for some reason, people don't know how to use Google anymore.

My god, it was such a wonderful thing back then. I could find anything I wanted, in few seconds. Just go out and type it!

Jumping from Windows to MacOS can be scary. But I really suggest people who are new to MacOS, read the MacOS manual.

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/welcome/

There is also built-in manual in the operating system itself:

  • Click the Finder icon (the smiley face in the Dock).
  • In the top menu bar, click Help.
  • Select Mac User Guide from the results.

You can find almost all the answers from the manual, and since it's a new operating system you are now using, reading the manual is VERY useful. Don't be afraid to learn.

Also, there is a nice tutorial the first time you power on your new Apple computer. Don't skip it. You'll learn the MacOS basics nicely that way.
