Book Review : How To Be Geek Goddess : Practical Advice for Using Computers with Smarts and Style.



First, before I delve into this review, let me tell you that despite the fact that I am a blogger, I am very technologically challenged. (Are you shocked?) So, I was definitely interested in seeing if Christina’s book could educate me. I am happy to say I was not disappointed! This book is very practical, translates “geek speak” into understandable English, and is also entertaining to read! How to be a Geek Goddess can help you decide between Mac and PC, tell you who to call (and what information to have ready) when you need help, and even gives you tips for how to be the savviest online shopper. From exploring communications outlets like Skype and Google Talk to instructing you on how to set up and use Wi-Fi (that’s a wireless internet connection to you non-geeks), this book has it all!

For moms out there, u cant even read this especially chapter nine “Geek Parenting”. In this chapter, Christina covers how to keep your kids safe when they are using the internet. From cyber bullying to smut and dangerous downloads, she comprehensively covers everything you need to do, watch for, and use to keep your kids safe online. I never knew there were so many tools available to parents to help in that area, and this chapter covers them all! Serisously, even if you don’t want to be a Geek Goddess, this chapter alone is worth the price of the book.

till then love,
