Why don’t I talk about how to fix tech stuff?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Because I find the subject absolutely boring and uninspiring. I should be thankful for all those stupid people out there who still can’t figure out where they need to type a website address to go to it.<\/p>\n Today I had to remind someone that opening an email in outlook does NOT take them to a website.<\/p>\n Really, in this age you can’t figure out what type of program you need to use to visit a website?<\/p>\n I get that some people are not tech savvy. But using a computer day in a day out for your job (today’s idiot was a legal secretary) and have no idea that you use an internet browser such as Chrome \/ Firefox \/ Internet Explorer \/ Safari \/ whatever instead of an email program was pretty astounding. Well not really.<\/p>\n I expect people to know how to create a folder on their “desktop”<\/p>\n I expect people to have a basic understanding of how to use their computer. You cannot make the excuse that you don’t “understand” computers. You need to take responsibility for basic computer usage.<\/p>\n WordPress is still interesting<\/strong><\/p>\n I enjoy fixing some WordPress things or telling people who to call when it is outside my area of knowledge that I care to know about. I build another site this weekend for my own experimentation purposes with a slight plan of what I will do with it and grow it.<\/p>\n Web development of any sort is still hard for most people to grasp.<\/p>\n I should be thankful that there will always be people out there who have no propensity to learn tech that need to pay me hard earned cash to fix their stupidity. I am most of the time but there are days like today that I am not.<\/p>\n What am I doing now?<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m doing a few things outside of tech. And 1 WordPress project.<\/p>\n Is there anything cool in tech?<\/strong><\/p>\n Meh<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why don’t I talk about how to fix tech stuff?\u00a0 Because I find the subject absolutely boring and uninspiring.
