Based on your learning style inventory, which type of multimedia learning is most challenging for you and why? What multimedia tool do you want to learn more about?

I would like to learn more about how the computer, wireless internet connection, and several other technology devices work. I use it everyday but I do not know how it works. Things I think about are: How does the information from your computer get saved onto a little USB drive? Of course I know how to put it on the USB stick, but what does the computer do? How does it transfer the information? I tried to learn about computer but it was too sequential (you must put things back in opposite order that you took it out and “this little dot right here does this and the one right next to it does something totally different”) that I could not concentrate long enough to figure it out.

Hopefully, I will figure it out one day so I wouldn't have to keep calling my brother to fix it for me!

I too want to know more about how computers work. I can do simple things like take apart and set up a desktop computer, and hook up certain accessories like a printer, scanner, or even a wireless router. But, I don't know much about the insides of the tower or laptop base. My boyfriend bought all the parts to his computer (motherboard, processor, memory, etc) and built it from scratch, and he has slowly taught me some things about what makes a computer run well, but I definitely want to know more about the inner workings. Then maybe one day I won't need to ask him to fix my problems!

I agree!! I never understand the USB sticks! I spent so much money on one, and I have never used it!
