Abby Stokes, the author of "Is This Thing On?": A Computer Handbook for Late Bloomers, Technophobes, and the Kicking & Screaming will answer questions such as: Why would I want to use a computer? What can it do for me? How can I keep my identity--and my bank accounts--safe online? She will also fill you in on Google, Facebook, blogs, and some of the newest technology.
