3 Turn off the computer.

How to Use the Keyboard

If you've never used a computer before, you're probably asking
yourself, "is this keyboard just like a typewriter? And if it is, what
are all those extra keys for?" This section describes the keys on the
keyboard and the differences between typing on a computer and
using a typewriter.
The Character Keys
For these keys, typing on a computer keyboard is very much like
typing on a typewriter. However, there are some exceptions:
When you press the spacebar, a computer does not simply pass
over an area of the page like a typewriter does. Although you
may not see anything on the screen, each time you press the
spacebar, the computer creates a space character just as it cre-
ates characters representing letters or symbols.
