I know nothing about computers. Not a thing. I can work out how to use bits of software to get things done but when it comes to computer hardware, I’m snookered. So far this hasn’t really caused me any major problems, but I fear that it my lack of knowledge could come back to haunt me one day.
The day might be upon me, actually. I can’t get my desktop computer’s internet connect to work. It decided to pack it in on Wednesday night and has been in hiding ever since. My foolproof solution of turning the computer off and on has failed me and now I’m at a loss.
I know there’s nothing wrong with the house net connection because I’ve finally figured out how to get my laptop connected and it is hooked up to the net fine. I’ve tried everything I can think of (which isn’t much) and still no joy. I’m hoping a few more toggles of the off/on button will eventually come to my rescue like it did last month when I saw the blue screen of death but so far, no good.
This has got me thinking about my lack of knowledge about the non-web type stuff. It’s not essential to know everything about computers but it can’t hurt to know a little bit. Not knowing anything at all can definitely be a pain, that’s for sure. Plus if I intend on making my living online, computers are the tool of the trade and learning as much as I can will only make my life easier in the long run… right?
I think I’ll go to the pub tonight and give my computer a longer rest. Maybe if I neglect it for a few nights it’ll get its act together. I hope so because if it doesn’t then I’m screwed!
