Replying to Should I try a GoPro or No?

A generous person bought me a GoPro camera and I know nothing about it. When they gave it to me they told me they bought it at Costco so I can return it. It would probably make them happier if I could make them a movie instead of just buying more coffee and groceries. I just don't know if this is something I can really use or not.
I don't own my own computer or smart phone and I really don't think I will have time to mess with the camera when I am at work.
Given my limited access to other technology does it make any sense for me to own the GoPro?
