Not interested in reading a user guide or having to skim for how to perform a computer task, WATCH A VIDEO instead

Visit www.youtube.com

Type in the search bar at the top what you are looking for

Choose from the list of results which you want

*Note-notice who created the video "by" and how many views, or how popular, a video is

***Tip: If you find a presenter that you like, click on the name of the presenter below the video window to see the channel (collection of all the videos) that person has created. Save that page in your favorites/bookmarks to refer back to it in the future.
