Let me tell you one thing before starting this interesting topic,
This is a basic parameter in which you learn about different shortcut ways of computer to comfort and an easy way to achieve.
We are living in a global era, where we surrounded by different machines likewise computers, electronic gadgets (phone, tablets, phablets, ipods, sensors etc.) and i found that many of us not fully aware about our different system functions and their behaviors, and even though we don’t want to know it, reason is what you say that no knowledge, no source or not go through it and blaa blaa……
I want to tell you something I read out last time one of my favorite book Charles Babbage: Pioneer of the Computer
, as he is also known as father of computer as well as as mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer, who is best remembered now for originating the concept of a programmable computer. He has created a machine in 1822 called the difference engine, made to compute values of polynomial functions. It was created to calculate a series of values automatically. By using the method of finite differences, it was possible to avoid the need for multiplication and division.
For a prototype difference engine, Babbage brought in Joseph Clement to implement the design, in 1823. Clement worked to high standards, but hismachine tools were particularly elaborate. Under the standard terms of business of the time, he could charge for their construction, and would also own them. He and Babbage fell out over costs around 1831.One day Clement asked form Charles Babbage at the meeting in Cambridge “Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.”
Babbage replied with a smile “Errors using inadequate data are much less than those using no data at all.”
So with this explanation I want to tell, if you want to achieve success, try to learn something new and extra from your side, don’t care either you are going wrong or right, just go for it because I think a wrong path will give you a lesson for a right way always .
Now with this whole discussion let come to the topic
There are basic things you should know
,like Ctrl,Alt,Shift,Tab,Windows( ) and Fn included.
Note: The Windows key ( ) is located between the Ctrl and Alt keys on most keyboards. However, some vendor
keyboards and laptops don't have this key. The Application key ( ) is adjacent to the right Windows key or in the upper-right corner on some laptop keyboards.
These keys have different functons according to their use.
