The Computer Basics section of The Family History Guide is available in the Intro menu. It has covered a wide variety of topics, from PC and Mac basics to applications and social media tools. To achieve a better learning balance, we recently moved the applications and social media items to the Technology Projects (in the menus for FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage, and Findmypast).

Below is a summary of the Goals in Computer Basics now, and the Goals for each of the Technology Projects.
