    5 1/2 years later. I am decided to watch at least one android/cell phone video a day for the next two weeks. Thank you.

    Thank you for posting this video! Yeah, I know, it is 2021, and I'm just now getting my first smartphone. Go ahead and laugh all you want. Want to laugh even more? I'm keeping my flip phone and only using the Moto G as an Android "mini-tablet" to acquire and make use of some particular apps unavailable for a Windows OS. It was cheaper than an actual Android tablet and will get the job done for my needs. Color me analog, but there's a lot to be said for simplicity and reliability... and freedom "from" technology, which is terribly invasive. We don't all need to be "plugged in" 24/7. To some of us, that would be a living hell.

      Yeah, we were kind of forced into it as our 2G phone was obsoleted. So far this smart phone has been a wonderful frustration but we shall prevail!

    Bless your heart for trying (as well as) having the patience to do this for others.
    I'm currently in a position where I live with an 82 year old grandmother- paired w/ my 54 year old best friend- who knows less than she does about the basics of tech.
    It's an absolute nightmare at times...
    God bless ya, brother!

    The buttons are completely different on my TeraCube 2E (2021 purchases) ... I hope you made an up to date video because you sound so clear and knowledgeable about Androids. My POS iPhones have all died or broke over time. And frankly they just cost too much anymore.

      If you got a newer model Samsung then you should have Bixby, you can set it up to help you on your day to day basis, I got the s10+ and you can set her up to do everything you would ever want just by asking Bixby.

    When we first got our smart phones, we were really lost. We're in our 50's, and our sales person was around 23. He gave us the phone, we looked down, and said, "Now what?" It was awful. I couldn't tell how to make a phone call, text, etc. And just like how you explained what app meant, I had no idea! What I STILL don't understand is why I can barely download anything without running out of memory.

    This video. is pretty much outdated but it has some basic concepts. was introduced to Android in September of 2013 when I bought a Jellybean seven inch tablet that didn't support the Play store. later I got one that did support it.
    I didn't actually get a phone until July 2018. Thr highest Android I have is Android 9.
    A lot has happened over the coarse of time.
    Msny of the features that come with the phone are replaceable. For the brave at heart the whole operating system can be replaced. This however is for more advanced users.
    For highest security you probably want an iPhone. For something you can do more things with you want an Android.

    I'm trying to learn the Android basics so I can set my friend up on an Android phone. I'm pretty tech-savvy but I find following this guy difficult. His grammar is pretty poor, too which makes concentrating on what's being taught challenging for me. I should mention, I'm an Apple user (since 1986) and have an iPhone. So, I sort of expected the Android basics to be similar to the iPhone's iOS's intuitive basics. Wrong on that one. I gave up on this video at 17:07 and went in search of a better, and more up-to-date tutorial.

      You don't have to, but the idea of having a Google account is that you use that on all of your devices so that things get synchronized between devices. If you really want, you can setup a new Google account for your phone, but that's not required.

      Isn't it strange? There is so little available in terms of "How to....Basics for Smart Phones." You think there would be a thousand - all earning ad revenue for the uploader etc.
      I don't mean to be ungrateful to the uploader here, because a lot was explained and I'm grateful, but as someone else wrote, there was too much about available apps and not enough how to navigate from one icon / button to the next on the screen. "Good video but dwells too much on apps. How about how to make and end a call and do practical things the elderly would use a phone for..." Oh well, I'll try another tutorial.
