Reflection Question IP&T 286

I would definitely have to say that I am some what in between a techie and someone that is totally lost when it comes to computers.  If I am shown how to work new programs I can pick it up pretty quick. Technology that I use pretty well would obviously be my cell phone, camera, Ipod, but dealing with the computer I feel I have the whole internet thing down, well if a Facebook, Google, You Tube, or Myspace question is brought up =).  I would like to better learn of the computer itself.  Like if there was a virus or some sort of problem in the hard drive with the computer I'd like to be able to navigate and resolve the situation.
