Christina Tynan-Wood understands the difference between how women and men think about technology. That is why this author of hundreds of articles on technology, parenting and education decided to write the book How to be a   Geek Goddess. Women use technology to get things done and want practical advice, whereas how often do you hear men discussing acronyms and the size of their hard drive.

I didn’t think that I could learn anything from How to be a because I am already Internet Savvy. However, this book contains advice on so many other areas that I am not as well versed in such as how to set up a wi-fi network in your home and purchase all types of gadgets large and small.

The contents of the book contain:

1. Get a smooth ride new or used - buying a new computer or rejuvenating your old one

2. Housebreaking - Setting up your computer

3. Getting in touch with your software side - Software that you’ll want or need, both free and for purchase
