There is no way to transfer images directly from a film camera to a computer. Develop the film and scan the negatives/slides/prints.

Digital photo cameras normally come with a cable to connect to a PC or Mac for uploading without removing the memory card from the camera, Rebecca. An alternative is to get a card reader. In that case you take the card out of the camera, stick it into the card reader, and connect the card reader to a PC or Mac for uploading the photos. Have fun!

If a Digital Rebel, then use the USB cord and EOS Utility software that came with it.

Likely your digital camera uses a removable memory chip for image storage, maybe a CF (compact flash) or a SD (secure digital). These flash memory devices have dropped in price, nowadays the prudent photographer should buy two or more. At a computer store, they will be priced under $10. While shopping buy a chip reader, maybe $20 or less. This is an external device that accepts the chip and allows it to be plugged into your laptop. Some are quite small, no cords or cables. I carry a reader in my laptop bag. Many modern laptop’s have a built-in chip reader slot. Once plugged into the laptop’s USB (universal serial bus) port (direct or via a chip reader), your computer will see the chip as a removable drive. It will be automatically assigned a drive letter, likely E or F. You can then uses ‘My Computer’ to view or copy or move. If this is all Greek to you, maybe the guys at the computer store will give you a mini-lesson. Otherwise taking a computer course won’t hurt. Alan Marcus
