Google is your friend
You know what I’m really tired of? People always assuming that I’ll help them out with computer problems. As soon as they find out I plan on studying computer science or they see my computer, it’s always assumed that I can just be their on-call tech support. I use to be ok with this, but nowadays I find it rather insulting. Most problems people experience with their computer are so simple it blows my mind how anyone could not figure it out on their own. You want to know the secret to solving pretty much every computer problem the average user will encounter? A simple google search. That’s it! I don’t claim to be all knowing when it comes to computers. In fact, I’m pretty inept compared to most serious computer users. Sure, I built my own computer and it runs extremely smoothly, but that’s because I have a fucking BASIC understanding of computer maintenance that comes from using this little known search engine called GOOGLE. Odds are if they come to me with a computer problem that I can’t solve off the top of my head, I’ll go straight to google, type in a few key words, search and odds are that the answer to their problem will be on the first page. The first fucking page. Seriously, did you even try to figure out the problem? Or are you just too stupid to figure out what someone posted about the exact same problem you’re having? I’ve had people ask me to install their printer. A goddamn PRINTER! Is that really so hard to do? Also, to all of you with computers loaded up with viruses. Do you know why that happens? You’re being an idiot when browsing the internet and not thinking before you click. It seems like the average person has absolutely no common sense on the internet. They think everything is fine and dandy. Oh, my friend who I haven’t talked to on aim in months randomly sent me a link completely out of context and isn’t responding to me. I’ll just click the link and find out what’s up. Congratulations, you’re a dumbass. Then there’s the other obvious cause for viruses, porn. Yeah, I get it… you’re horny and want some pleasant imagery while having your little happy time, but browse with some fucking common sense. So to wrap it up, google is your friend and think about what you’re clicking on. If you ask me for help the most I will do is send you here: www.justfuckinggoogleit.com
