About New To The Internet

The internet can be useful and frustrating at the same time, especially when every explanation assumes you already know the words.

This site is for people who want a patient starting point. Each page covers one everyday subject in plain language. You can skip around, come back later, and try things at your own pace.

It began with a simple idea: if you’re new to something, you should be able to ask a basic question without feeling foolish.
