My internet doesnt connect wirelessly! PLEASE HELP?

Two obvious possibilities leap to mind.
1) I'm assuming that since you're computer savvy (and I'll give you points for spelling savvy correctly), you've got a wireless access point or router with a built-in wireless access point. But, if you don't, then go buy one. If you have one, then make sure the wireless radio in the router is turned on. Some routers and wireless access points come from the store with the radio turned off.

2) I believe the Acer Aspire laptops have a physical switch which turns the wireless radio on and off. Look along the edge of the laptop for a slide switch. Its a small, often overlooked slide switch. If the laptop doesn't have a physical switch, then its definitely got a soft switch on one of the function keys. Press and hold the Fn key while you press the soft switch and you should get a popup dialog for turning the wireless radio on. The HP laptops have a physical switch on the bevel above the keyboard, so if you can't find a switch elsewhere, look there too. About the only thing I can be sure of is that it won't be on the front or back of the screen, and it won't be on the bottom of the laptop.

When the wireless radio is off, you will see that message "No connections are available".
