2017-05-01
oh hey Chris how is the co enough to be a brutal man I don't know something snapped off and it's hurting yikes sorry about that hey you know some dogs sort of look like their owners what a case makers share the same traits as their cases that's ridiculous no it kind of works right I mean because like the peer-based 600 is cool right and you're arguably cool right the case is super quiet and you've always been on the soft-spoken side yeah Pete it's totally true actually there's one more thing we have in common what's that well after the colonoscopy I think I also supported three sixty millimeter radiator that like include push pull or the pure base 604 be quiet offers a tempered glass side panel sound damping material and a highly versatile design ships with a pair of powerful peer wings two fans and intentional support for 360 radiators click the link in the description for more info what's going on guys welcome back to the channel today is pretty exciting because I'm going to be teaching my grandpa how to use a PC for the very first time now he's never used a computer in his life so it should be a pretty interesting video and ever since I moved in with him about two years ago he's been sort of surrounded by PC hardware he's watched me you know build sections of a PC here and there as I do it quite frequently and I think all that exposure has gotten him curious about actually using one so on occasion for the past few months he would ask me if I could teach him how to use a computer and I said sure of course and finally we're getting around to it today I actually built him his own system which is right here you can go ahead and check out that build video if you haven't seen it yet it's pretty fun and I think it's a pretty pretty robust system that we have here for him especially since he's mainly going to be using the Internet but yeah it should be pretty fun my expectations for this are I think since you've never really even touched a computer in his life I think he's going to be a bit overwhelmed by the whole whole thing I think they're going to be certain things that he's just been used to all his life doing analog and now now he's going to have a digital version of it and I think it's going to be a lot to unpack it first but I think overall it's going to be a positive experience for him I think a small part of me hopes that he eventually become so proficient with PCs that he can then help me with my youtube channel I mean how awesome would that be if you could just handle all the gaming benchmarks from here on out although he did recently leave tinfoil on the microwave so I might have to rethink that idea I don't really have any reservations about teaching him how to use a PC I think my worst fear is that he just simply won't enjoy it or he'll find it too complicated and give up and then I'll have no use for the system I mean literally I'll just have the dowsing and gasoline and light it on fire which I never enjoy doing so I think on that note though we're I think we're ready to unveil this to him for the first time and and get his reaction that should be kind of fun and it will just dive into some simple lessons simple tutorials on just how to use a PC to get them up and running on his own two feet so here we go guys teaching my grandpa how to use a computer for the very first time all right grandpa well thank you very much for being here I appreciate you being in one of my videos and taking the time out of your day are you ready to see your computer for the first time yes okay I'm going to go ahead and unveil for you here it is I present to you your very first computer whoa Wow beautiful yeah you like it yeah cool yeah why I made it I made it pretty for you Oh your minute GTX 10ft yeah you like it why not technically ATI well I just has figured since you're browsing the web view let's just hook it up look it up so the first step is to turn the computer on and what I'm going to need you to do is stand up and if you look on the top of the computer that button right there go ahead and press that Bravo that was beautiful now you can see that the computer is is loading up it's booting up so you have to give it a few seconds it takes a while for it to fully prepare here we are this is called the desktop the desktop is basically the first screen that you see when you turn your computer on and you can put different icons and different applications on your desktop so the one that I have here for you right right now as Google Chrome that's the program we use to access the Internet you're going to want to put your hand on the mouse and you're going to want to navigate over to that icon with your index finger click it twice in a row there you go this is your your home page your home page is basically the website the first website you see when you start browsing the Internet so right now your home page is Google it's a search website that allows you to search for anything what would you want to search for anything is anything you want on our talk choice okay so you can you can click in the in the box the search box now you can start typing what you want to search for so using the keyboard you can type in toys so go ahead and find the letters for that now you've entered the realm of online shopping here which can be very addicting so if you wanted to the internet lets you buy certain products actually there's a lot of products online that you can buy so if you wanted to you can add it to your cart you know like a shopping cart obviously when you're online you don't have a physical shopping cart that you're pushing around but the internet still calls it a cart because it's something we're familiar with so if you wanted to buy the Bugs Bunny DVD you can click Add to Cart and then at that point it would ask you for your credit card information and your shipping address and things like that so that it can send you the DVD when it's ready this is a new created content yeah you can use a credit card exactly so let's let's so that's kind of a very basic overview of how to browse the web just briefly but there's a couple other things you can do including email so basically email just as a refresher is it's kind of like writing someone a letter but it's all done on the computer and it's it's instantaneous anything that you write and send someone will receive immediately and then and then they can then proceed to write you back immediately if they want to sometimes they don't write back just kind of sit there wondering why but let's let's go ahead and get you registered with an email account now I've already created a bookmarks bar here for you these are these are bookmarks these allow you to access your frequently visited websites more easily so I've already made a couple here ones for your email so if you ever want to look at your email all you have to do is click it and it takes you to the Gmail inbox that we created for you from here you can see all of your new emails obviously no one's emailed you yet because no one knows that you have an email address and this is also where you can write emails you can send emails to people the way you do that is by clicking on the red compose button just a single click there and now you see how this box is opened up so that box is kind of like it's kind of like you're the paper oh you can try and kind of like the paper that you're going to be writing on prepared art yes exactly so you're going to have to type and in order to send an email to anyone you first need to know their email address you kind of like the phone number right yes so you want to send it to let's do an email to me all right yeah subject is like the title of your letter or the title of your email and if you want you can leave it blank but it's generally a good idea to put something in here that way when the person receives your email they kind of know what it's about right without having to read the whole thing and then you have this big the big window here this big empty box where you can write anything you want this you can write dear Kyle you are my favorite grandson in fact make that grandchild how come you make the weak little and you will be ghetto and oh how how you made a big letter Oh how do you make it capitalized yeah so the way you do that is you hold shift and then press the key oh so like little T would just be hitting it like that but a big T would be holding shift and then hitting T and once you've got everything there you can just click the blue send button right here you just click it and it'll say right here in this yellow box it says your message has been sent so that means probably within a few seconds the recipient will have received the email you just wrote so I can actually check right now on my phone to see if I got your email yep there it is says dear Kyle you're my favorite grandson in fact make that grandchild period so thank you that was a beautiful nicest email I've ever gotten so now let's talk about YouTube briefly and how to use that because it's a glorious platform that allows you to watch a lot of useless videos for free unless unless it's a little trip that's about fifty a month first two weeks or freeze it so to access YouTube you can see I've also added a bookmark for you right here where it says YouTube so you can just click that and it'll take you right there what's what's something that you might want to see a video of on YouTube it could be anything you want we aren't visual yeah those are all videos you see about pending trending nothing good is ever on trending so you know you want to avoid trending at all costs it's a long story to get into right now but let's search for four monkeys so the Internet's smart right so if you start typing in monkey you'll see all of these other suggestions pop up basically the internet or YouTube is trying to guess what you're about to type based on what other people in the past have searched for so you've got monkeys jumping on the bed monkey eating a banana monkey on the car monkey throws poop at Grandma I like that one there you go alright so go ahead and click on the first one and now we can watch a video of a monkey throwing poop at grandma not not my grandma mother grandma horse but there ej he just threw the poop oh no it's another graham and then there there's a guy laughing at her that's rude that was uh you just watched you those are twenty seconds you can never get back but uh welcome to the Internet what's this what's a song to you that you enjoy Reese Elvis okay so why don't we do that why don't we go ahead and click in the search bar right here yep yeah getting the hang of it okay now I've got my little mini speaker connected so go ahead and hit the play button a little uh the little triangle so do you know this song yeah you do okay now you can listen to the song and you can actually watch this any time and you can watch it as many times as you want there's probably a 10-hour version of it somewhere so yeah I mean this is this is pretty much what YouTube's good for watching it's for entertainment a lot of the time or or education as well kind of like what I do so before I get flagged for copyright infringement let's go ahead and pause this okay grandpa I think we've learned a lot today and this is probably a lot to take in for you but you did really good honestly I think you're going to be a computer whiz in no time so before we close out the video I want to quickly just show you how to shut the system down or how to turn the computer off the best way to do that first of all is grab the mouse and to close this window to close the internet you want to highlight the big X that's in the in the very far top right corner and then you want to go to the very bottom left corner where you see that little white square go ahead and click that beautiful you'll see that it says power right there so you want to click where it says power because you actually want to power the computer down so click that there you go and you should see an option for shutdown I might have to enlarge the text for you because it's a little bit tiny I didn't really take that into consideration we are using a 1080p monitor so I felt the scaling wouldn't be quite as awful if we were doing something like 4k but after you click shut down you'll see that your monitor and your computer will turn off you don't have to print about huh nope in fact it's generally a better idea to use the mouse in order to shut everything down through the software so I think we have learned quite a bit today we've covered a lot of ground and you did really well you were absolutely fantastic I'm pretty sure that you're going to be a computer whiz in no time but what did you think about your first computer experience today I think I like it you like it yeah but which which part that I showed you today did you like the most cool you liked YouTube yeah YouTube UT was pretty awesome it's got that visual element and there's definitely a lot that can be seen I mean you mail cool and unseen the email too is very useful I think you're gonna you're gonna really enjoy that once you start messaging your friends back and forth but on that notes grandpa thank you so much again for being a part of this little video I really do appreciate it put in and hopefully you enjoy your new computer from here on out so maybe we'll do another lesson maybe we'll do a lesson too if there's enough demand for it I don't know leave your guys's feedback in the comments below
