Did you know that can you scroll a Web page just by tapping
the space bar? How do you recover photos you’ve deleted by
accident? What can you do if your cell phone’s battery is
dead by dinnertime each day? When it comes to technology, there’s no driver’s ed class or
government-issued pamphlet covering the essentials. Somehow,
you’re just supposed to know how to use your phone, tablet,
computer, camera, Web browser, e-mail, and social networks.

rescue with Pogue’s Basics, a book that will change your
relationship with all of the technology in your life. With wit and authority, Pogue’s Basics collects every

from the dead · The fastest way to charge an iPad · The 10
best apps to put on your phone · How to type symbols ·
