People and Computers

Do you ever wonder why some people are allowed to have computers? Gee did I just sound like Andy Rooney?

I just spent two days at my Daughter-in-laws trying to fix there lap top that had the administrator account locked up. I got it fixed and I am now the only administrator on the thing. So next time, and there will be a next time, I should be able to get in and fix it easier.

This brings me to wonder why people are not required to pass a test before they can have a computer. If they fail the test, they should have to take a basic training course before they can have one. I believe the majority of people with computers have no idea what they are doing. They don't practice "safe computing" and they don't watch over what there kids do on the computer. Some times even the parents show the kids how to get into things that they should not.

I am lucky. I spent most of my career fighting the computer demons (software programs). So I gained a lot of knowledge on the company's dime. Now that I am retired, it is getting more difficult for even me to keep up with the technology changes and keep away from the bad computer demons. But I'm tryin'.

Thanks for stopping by......... Do you ever wonder???????
