6. Spoonfeeding? This is information overload for your grandma!

   Kevin, before you upload an instructional video first determine who would most benefit from it. Most likely it's folks that are older, for whom setting a digital watch leaves them dazed and confused.

   Once you have determined your target group you will need to see if you will meet your target's needs.

   You will need a focus group or test audience. Most of your peers and younger already know this stuff. Help the folks who haven't got a clue. Part of it for this group is psychological. They lack confidence. Even if it's not entirely true, let them know that you were just like them when you started out. I didn't get to where I am now without making mistakes. Back to the focus group.

   Mention the word "twerk", "fanboi", "lit", or "woke". If they look at you quizzically or say… "That's not even a word!" about Twerk you have a member of your viewer focus group. Make just short segments and test them against your test audience. If they are still clueless. Get feedback. Ask open ended questions that can't be answered wit yes or no. "How do you think I could make this better?" or "Where do I need to clear things up?" or "When I talked about operating systems was I clear?" Follow-up with "Who can tell me what you took away from the part about operating systems?"

   In your video, ask rhetorical questions that are task oriented. Then answer them and give/demo an example that's one of the most popular tasks you get asked about.

   I teach people how to train their dog(s). What I am suggesting is born out of experience. And always summarize at the end.

   Tell people what you are going to cover. Cover it. Then tell people what they just learned.

   Find your target. Test Segments or clips against a test audience. Get feedback by asking open ended questions.

   Rewrite your script. If people have problems with too much info, break it down to smaller understandable segments.

   Keep it task oriented and offer examples/demos.

   Retest your latest segments. Keep refining until people from one of your test groups "Gets it".

   Remember never give people more information than they need in a given context.

14. It still lack a lot of capability. Such as choosing where you want your file downloaded. I downloaded an Mp3 audio file of a meeting session from email via outlook. Till this day, i still couldn't find where the file was downloaded. They only only inform you that the file was already downloaded, not where.

30. Good job Kevin. I've been using a Android phone for a couple of years now. I recently upgraded to 4.4 and want to expand my knowledge. Its good to start with the basics. Thanks

31. You know what you need to learn android? a fucking brain! Android basic is very simple, it's not even complicated at all, with regards to iOS users are saying that it's quite complicated, it's not. You don't even need this video to learn the basic, we are talking about the basic, Jesus, if you know how to use a computer, you know how to use an android device, no doubt. About the tricks, it's posted online and you can try it quickly. that's it, problem solved.
