I don't like to figure things out that are technical. I find my computer overwhelming. When something goes wrong, I get out my "Word for Dummies" book and try to solve the problem, but I just get more confused.
The problem is the words. I don't know what they mean. Things like HTML, and ribbon, and link and permalink, etc. I am afraid that I will do the wrong thing. Everybody says just try something and see what happens.
When I do that, I can't seem to get back where I was before and try again, I feel like I've fallen down a rabbit hole.
How do people ever learn a new language? I took three courses in Italian and only learned one word. I think language may be my Waterloo.
If somebody shows me something, I get it. It's just difficult for me to read a foreign language like "Computer" and know what I'm reading.
I wish there was a class taught by a REAL human for people like me. Problem is, the things I need to know come up randomly. I think I need to start writing down the snags I have and the solutions to them when someone shows me what to do.
Then I have to remember where I put my notes.
