Run for your life! The Internet's after us! If you or someone you know is terminally technophobic, a sense of calm is as close as your TV with No-Brainers on the Internet. The No-Brainers team has plenty of experience producing video guides on topics from cars to finance, and with help from George Washington University's Electronic Media Program and America Online, they've got all it takes to get you comfortable with the next wave of communication technology. Touching on the history of the Net, this video jumps right into the modern basics: how to deal with e-mail (send and receive), how to conduct research or just surf on the fabled World Wide Web, and the etiquette lessons Miss Manners hasn't gotten around to just yet. The style is fast paced and friendly, with examples at every step of the way, using groovy computer graphics to snazz up the program. A small booklet accompanies the video to remind you of what you've learned when you're actually in front of your keyboard later. Sure, you've got a brain, but you don't have to use it all to join the 21st century. --Rob Lightner
