Shortcut 2 Learning - Computer Basics Board Game

Imagine trying to answer questions or troubleshoot computer questions for someone who doesn't even know what a "desktop" is, let alone the difference between a modem and a motherboard, a hard drive or a web browser.

Mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, even peers – all with the same basic questions, trying to get answers from savvy computer users with waning patience. You throw you hands up in despair and walk your dad through adding a Favorite in Internet Explorer for the fifteenth time. You tell your mom you're sorry, but the tech support person who told her to reformat her hard drive didn't consider the fact that she hadn't backed up all her data and didn't have the installation discs for Microsoft Word. Her critical files are now nowhere to be found and she also has to buy another copy of Microsoft Office so that critical file is now gone and she has to go buy a copy of Office.

There has got to be a better way. So, Computer Basics is born.

They've bought the books – which now sit with an inch of dust on a bookshelf. They've considered a computer class, but aren't really motivated or interested enough to sign up, so how do you get them to learn about computers? Make it FUN. Make it EASY. Make it something that is SOCIAL. Make it something they will do again and again until they really LEARN it – not just once when their son-in-law is sitting by their side telling them how.

Cost – MSRP $34.95

The owners of Shortcut 2 Learning have gone to great lengths to have the Computer Basics board game manufactured in the USA. From the game board to the box to the playing pieces Computer Basics has been created from parts sourced right here in America.
