Simple, understandable, interesting sources of information?

Question

IT education

Recently (as I began to get involved in reading articles on Habré), I had such thoughts as "Who reads my email (has access to it)", "what, where and to whom my phone sends without my knowledge", as well as " why the search engine does not give me what I need", "why when I go to some sites I see a message from the provider with a link to the Russian Federation law and how to fix it", "how will I solve all these issues when the production finally starts to control Internet" ..... Question: I need simple and understandable information (a source of information, preferably in a book version) so that I can solve the above tasks (thoughts) on my own - understand how it works, control traffic,create apps or modify phone/computer apps while doing sowhat would be like a Soviet encyclopedia simple, interesting, understandable and efficient ? PS My profession is not related to it at all. PS I wrote about the Soviet encyclopedia for a reason, who saw owls. training videos, books, magazines, he will understand what I mean. In general, I probably went too far with the text, accumulated ... It's probably better to write this in some kind of forum? If you write a link there and we'll talk.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, not everything that is complex can be explained simply so that you can not only understand, but also use the information received. Understanding "on the fingers" how a nuclear power plant works will not allow you to build it, or at least manage it, and as far as I understand, in the end this is exactly what you want.
So first, learn the basics of computer networks .
Further - deepen your knowledge on the points from this article (namely, the section "What to teach?").
After that you will be able

understand how it works, control traffic

.
Now - learn a programming language for

create apps or modify phone/computer apps

To realize your Wishlist, many people have been studying and studying for years. So if the last point is not so important for you and you at least want to understand what, how and where is happening, then start with the first article that I indicated a little higher, and then google.

if I understand the question correctly, and if it fits in English, then the easiest way is to look on YouTube for something like "how something works", they can do it beautifully, for example, offhand

Answer 3

simple, interesting, understandable and efficient

There is no such. Because someone must compose it, and this someone must be able to compose it in the language of teapots, because a non-teapot does not need such things - he takes Google and searches.

Answer 4

RenTV is an inexhaustible source of simple, understandable and interesting information.
If you are not able to verify the information you receive with your knowledge and pursue only ease of assimilation and satisfaction of curiosity - in those questions that are given as an example, you are hung with three boxes of noodles, and nothing more. Instead of being ignorant, you will become a zombie, not getting any closer to the truth.
