Leaving It All to Technology Books and Resources

Clearer view of Technology Books and Resources
You've heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. When it comes to computers and computer technology, I'm not sure this old adage proves true. Seems to me 1,000 words or more helps me get the picture, so to speak...or sometimes even literally!
Most of you reading this are probably a lot like me when it comes to following directions. When we purchase something that requires assembly, I tend to wing it. Usually, I manage to get it all put together. But usually a few extra parts remain. Mind you, I'm very familiar with those black-and-white thinkers out there. You know the ones that open the box, read the directions, match every part to the ones the directions says are contained within, then read the directions again, then follow these same directions meticulously. Probably that's only about 13% of the general population. For sure it's not me. But when it comes to technology books and resources, I've learned a few things. Do NOT wing it. Read the directions. Follow the manual.
I have to admit that when I went through the extra effort and trouble to obtain a resource or publication that taught me about the why's and how-to's behind what latest computer devise or program I was using, I got a lot more out of it. Just plugging along trying to figure it out on my own usually works. But that in and of itself can be amazingly time consuming and frustrating...at least to me.
Learning through Technology Books and Resources
Purchasing the tutorial on how to get the most out of a particular program and then working through that tutorial proved valuable. In retrospect, it was totally worth it. For me, things are not always what they seem or logical. I know we're told that computers are very logical. But the people that build the software don't often think like I do. Hence, I need the technology books and resources to sort of translate and interpret what in the world I need to do to make this practical and usable. Surely, I'm not the only one that finds some of this techie stuff like a foreign language?
Sellers are working hard to make their creations more intuitive. And I sincerely appreciate that. Even so, I still tend to find some comfort in knowing that the latest "for Dummies" book is not far behind with what are usually some pretty decent tips and techniques. I like online tutorials and technology books and resources, too. But even though I can view something on the screen, I still find that I much prefer a printed copy that I can make notes on, highlight specific points, and flag pages to refer back to relative to whatever project I'm involved in at the time. Maybe that's still some of the old-school way of doing things hanging on. But I do like having something I can put my hands on.
There is such a wide range of required knowledge and need when it comes to technology books and resources. I'm clearly not at the level of NASA programmer. My point here is that there are likely to be pretty good technology books and resources books and manuals that delve into most every level that the majority of us in the general public require and need when it comes to computer, their programs, and other software. A lot of it can be found online and at your local bookstore.
Now for some fun (yes, it is even possible without playing a game on your PC), check out this video at the bottom of my post. Hardcore geeks might really enjoy these Technology Books and Resources, too.
