The Computer is not on friendly terms with me


Crashing machines, slow boot times, and agony dealing with technical support have Digital Age people suffering from Computer Stress Syndrome, a study available online Tuesday found.


The report identified sources of peoples' pain as "frustrating, complex computers and devices, technical failures, viral infections, and long waits to resolve support issues."
We are living in a world that is almost completely reliant on computer technology and the technology just keeps on improving. I have to admit that my technical expertise might not be the best and after reading this article, I actually do think that I might suffer from the Computer Stress Syndrome. I never fail to feel like an airhead when it comes to my notebook especially when it comes to those softwares and applications so I do try to steer clear from them. However everything that we do right now, basically revolves around the computers. We communicate with our friends through instant messaging and we keep in touch through social networking sites such as Facebook and even our school work requires the use of a notebook and internet.
"When they are functioning properly, they're great. But when something goes wrong, we immediately go into panic -- This is what I call the Computer Stress Syndrome."

The article has got me thinking on how reliant we actually are on our computers. If our computers disappears for a day, I'm sure everyone will feel lost without it. In conclusion, I have nothing to say against how much easier the computer has made our lives. Be patient with me, I'm taking baby steps here. Someday, I am so going to become the best of friends with my notebook. Well it's either that, or ....
