Isn’t technology great? It’s become such a part of our lives, most of us wonder how we ever lived without it. Most gadgets are meant to make our lives simpler, our time more effective, our productivity more efficient, and for the most part, they do. Many of us would readily admit that we’d be at a loss without our Blackberry, iPhone, Bluetooth headset or laptop. We’ve become as dependent on these little handheld gadgets as our parents and grandparents were on the washing machine, dishwasher and other household appliances that served the same purpose – to make our lives easier, our hours and minutes better spent.
But like everything, technology is not foolproof or fail safe. Things happen. Even our most “user-friendly” systems break down from time to time, and this is when error messages appear. There are literally hundreds of thousands of different error messages that can pop up on a system. Deciding on the best way to tackle the problem can be a challenge for even the most experienced IT professional, let alone the average consumer with no computer networking background. These kinds of issues keep our IT technicians in business, without a doubt, but it’s frustrating for the rest of us. What do these error messages mean? What’s causing them? Is there some way we can keep them from popping up? What can we do to fix them? In today’s cost-conscious world, we may not have the means to call in a professional technician, so taking care of the problem may fall to us.
That’s where this blog comes in – our purpose is to interpret these error messages and (hopefully) be able to troubleshoot the problem without having to call on a professional. And we’re not just talking about error messages on PCs, we’ll be looking at messages that are commonly seen on cell phones, Blackberrys, and even video game systems, and giving you the information you need to tackle the problem yourself. Of course, there is a time and a place when a professional will need to be called in, so we’ll be posting interviews and “Ask the Expert” information, as well.
This is your blog, meant to help you help yourself.
Welcome.
