IOS User Guide

 Hello! 

For this blog I wanted to add an iPhone/IOS user guide because I felt it could be very useful for teaching others to use technology. Many people who attend libraries don't have computers and come to the library to use the free Wi-Fi on their phone, or as I have witnessed think that it's a safe space to get help with learning how to use their phone. The iPhone is not the only phone people have, but seems to be the most common and I felt have a user guide allows people to learn how to use some of the apps that are available and set up their phone in a way they can understand. On a personal level, I have not used blogs very much other than for some guidance on assignments, but I have experience with assisting people with technology and have helped many older adults with their phones (mainly iPhones) because they struggle with understanding all the technology, especially when their family members believe they should have the most advanced technology without taking into consideration if they can learn how to use it. However, using this program was very easy and enjoyed being able to see each of the posts before adding mine. I also appreciated the layout of the program and it made created a post much easier

For an example, we will look at the difference between Microsoft Word and Google Docs. Both are word processors, allowing their users to write, edit, and save documents. However, Microsoft Word operates on your personal computer, and the documents are saved only to your personal computer. If you need to access a document on your home computer while you are at work, you are out of luck. However, Google Docs operates “in the cloud”, or over the Internet. When you create and save a Google Doc, it does not save to your computer, but rather to a server somewhere in a Google building. When you access it, you are using the Internet to connect to that server. This means you can access it from any computer where you are logged into your Google account, so long as you ha...
