For all the years I have been on the world wide web, I often feel overwhelmed with the technology.  But I always tell myself that if a ten year old can figure it out, so can I.  There are lots of sources on the internet that give you the ability to learn and understand the technology.  One of my favorites is cnet.com.  Not only can you get news and reviews of products like computers, cameras, televisions, and printers, but you can also watch cnet tv for how-to videos, review videos, and tech videos.

Another great feature with cnet is their download section.  They have hundreds of thousands of downloadable software, many of which are free.  I have downloaded freeware many times from their site, and though I have never had a problem with it, I would recommend that you only download something with a high user rating.  The download section (which can also be found directly at download.com) also has some great tutorials on downloading software, and other technical help.

cnet.com has so much available information, that before you know it, someone might even think you are a geek!
