My tech Misery: supporting the Reboot Generation
I utilized to rather like being the guy people asked about tech. Over the last few years though it’s ended up being a genuine pain in the ass.
I had my very first ‘support’ phone call from a household member at 8:33 am one morning last week. It’s no exaggeration to state I get numerous private concerns a week on this stuff. On top of that people seem to like to vent to me about their tech failures too. I’ve had enough.
I’m sure a great deal of you reading this are in the exact same setting – the designated ‘techie’ amongst your good friends as well as family. While the tech has got much better in one way, the irony is the more simple something supposedly gets to operate the more complexity there is going on behind the scenes to provide that illusion.
That in turn means almost whatever in contemporary tech life – tablets, PCs, mobile phones, cordless phones, printers, routers, wifi extenders – will disappoint at some stage. as well as that’s just the hardware. then there’s the browsers, software application updates, malware as well as virus too.
It’s simple to see exactly how this can all be a secret for individuals when it goes outside their experience. But please, if you’re one of the ones badgering your techie friend then try as well as assist yourself first. Switch it off as well as on once again very first (really). If that doesn’t kind it then try Google. We don’t mind assisting when you’re truly stuck, however it’s time to take advantages of all the excellent resources out there and assist yourself first.
Oh, as well as don’t fail to remember to thank your bad techie this Christmas
