### When Technology Feels Like a Foreign Language
**You're not stupid. Computers are just badly designed.**
Everyone says "oh it's easy" but they learned 20 years ago when they had time and patience. You just want to print a document, attach a photo to an email, or save something so you can find it again. Shouldn't be this hard.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** The people who designed these systems are clever. You're not daft for finding them confusing - they just didn't design them for normal humans.

Good to Know
> 🖥️ **Not a computer repair service** - I can help you use your computer, but I don't fix broken hardware or remove viruses. For that you need a proper IT tech. But I can show you the basics. **This is judgment-free.** I don't care if you need showing the same thing three times. Everyone learns at their own pace. **Elderly clients** are my favorite - you're polite, patient, and actually grateful when things work. Happy to help as often as you need. **I'm not super technical** myself - that's why I'm good at this. I explain things how normal people understand them, not how computer people talk.
Frequently Asked Questions about Computer basic help in Sidmouth
I'm not very good with computers - is this service for me?
Absolutely - that's exactly who this is for. Whether it's sending emails, printing something, saving photos, or just understanding what the icons do, I'll show you slowly and clearly. No techie jargon, no rushing, no making you feel daft.
What kind of computer problems can you help with?
Basic stuff - can't print, don't know how to attach photos to emails, want to save a document but don't know where it goes, browser isn't working right, too many tabs open. I'm not fixing hardware faults or removing viruses, but everyday tasks that confuse people - absolutely.
Will you write down the steps for me?
Yes - I'll leave you simple written instructions for whatever we do. Big clear writing, step by step. Stick it next to your computer and refer back when needed.
Can you set up email or show me how to use it properly?
Yes - whether it's setting up a new email account, showing you how to attach files, organizing folders, or just explaining the difference between Reply and Reply All. Common stuff that catches people out.
My family usually help but they're not always available - can you help instead?
That's why most people call me. Family members try to help but they rush through it or use technical terms you don't understand. I take my time, explain things properly, and don't make you feel stupid for asking.
