"Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done."
can you recommend a book(s) to learn more about computers....

If you can find it, "Windows 7 for Dummies" is a good start on understanding Windows 7, if you ignore the rather unfortunate title.
As mentioned, you can always ask a question on the forums and we'll do our best to help out.

If you want to make a career out of computers, do all of the things that have been recommended above. Also, see if you can get an entry-level job assembling or installing computers. In this way, you will be getting paid while you learn. And you will make contacts and have opportunities to learn things and start moving up. If you are diligent and learn as much as you can, you could conceivably have a really good mid-level IT job in as few as five years.
I did desktop support for a very long time -- this is when you fix computer problems hands-on at the computer -- both software and hardware. I'm now doing a combination of helpdesk / SQL database queries / technical documentation / networking. Not only am I doing something I really love, but I'm getting paid to do it!
