How dependent are you?

 Mornin'

Think, for a moment, about just how dependent you are on technology. I took this issue for granted until I was recently a victim of malware or a computer virus. Let me tell ya, those little boogers can really reap havoc not only on computers, but also the operators. I never realized the significance of computers in my life and the lives of all those around me until my computer got a virus. I could not help but think of the catastrophic effects of major problems with the more powerful computers that basically control daily activity in society today. 

Well, I was extremely grateful to know that we have plenty of techies in this world who know how to rectify countless computer issues. Granted, there are some viruses and other problems that completely destroy computers and cause millions of dollars in damages. Fortunately, the technician I contacted seemed to be able to fix the issue I had on my laptop and I am once again navigating through cyber space. 

I must say that I may have been guilty of initiating the attack. I was careless in opening unfamiliar files like music and visiting websites that were probably not safe. The lesson I learned is to cherish my computer. It is one of the most important assets I have and it needs to be kept safe. Caution needs to be my top priority when operating this asset. Think before you "click".
