The Aged 50 Plus - Home Computer Optimization Situation
The 50 plus crowd within the United States didn't grow up
using computers at school or within the work environment
because in our early years the desktop computer and laptops
didn't in all actuality exist within the consumer
marketplace. We have cell phones now that are smaller than
the size of a cinder block and computers no longer require
more square footage than a five room home. Yes, time has
progressed and I'm proud to say the fifty plus crowd my
children seem to think are 10 days older than dirt; managed
to adapt to the modern day technical advances as well.
Computer use by our aging population revealed in 2004 that
46% of those aged between 59 to 68 now use and enjoy
Internet access at home. Just over 76% of those within the
ages of 50 and 58 use computers as a direct result of
computers being a common place necessity and requirement to
function or perform our jobs within the modern day work
environment. However, it must be noted using a work
computer and having to keep it optimized and safeguarded is
usually the task of the resident wiz kid or a dedicated
technical type (IT) staff. So what happens when the home
PC slows, crashes or is somehow compromised?
As I see there are a number of emergence repair tactics
that can be implemented. First and foremost is the panic
call to our children to come over and troubleshoot the
situation. After all, they have been using computers since
first grade and that pretty much makes them an expert
right? Once you discover their ability to social network
and post videos on Utube doesn't speed up the computer the
second option is; to research and find registry repair,
spyware, adware and about 100 other software solutions that
have incremental probabilities of resolution. Last but not
least the computer can be drug into a service facility or a
technician home visit can be scheduled that will ultimately
cost as much as a 2d mortgage home loan. Well, none of
that has any source of good old fashioned stubbornness and
common sense. As I also see it ' there is always a
solution in the face of any and all problems.
I remember that conversation at the plant where something
sounding a lot like a termination threat motivated me to
actually start touching a computer keyboard way back when.
I still remember a series of training classes that I
attended that were moderated by a technician that today
wouldn't be allowed to have friends in his car let alone
use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle. Seems to
me he still had spit behind his ears. But, putting all
that behind, he did a really great job of teaching all of
us how to get around those old computer operating systems
proficiently. We were ready to tackle Donkey Kong, Pong
and any Atari game in existence buried in the home closet.
That being a monumental achievement I like many others
actually bought a home computer. I used it a lot and as
all things being put into use, the computer slowed to a
crawl.
I'm lucky because somewhere in the process of aging I found
time to attend a technical trade institute where despite
the fact my classmates thought I was a professor; I along
side of them learned to build a computer from the ground
up. Some of the residual training included troubleshooting
the system and a resulting ability to keep it and my
personal and financial information safeguarded from
intruders that come in the form of hackers, worms, Trojans,
viruses, adware, etc., etc. I learned to do a mass of
little things to keep it (the computer) optimized as well
and these series of events; are things we all need to learn
to do.
Most people are clueless when it comes to debugging,
defragging, defusing this that or whatever it takes to keep
the home computer operating efficiently. But, the simple
fact of the matter is the tiny little things necessary to
keep the home computer optimized isn't difficult at all.
I'm not into a lot of physical activity anymore as age made
me realize; the only thing that doesn't hurt in the morning
when I get out of bed is the eyelids. I don't jog any
longer and as far as I'm concerned; that animal the wife
drug home 180 years ago - can give itself a walk.
I'm more into keeping the mind fit and dedicate myself into
contemplating important things such as how many fish I'm
going to drag home from the lake, if the dog is going to
find its way home, how many Emails I'll be sending or
receiving and most importantly; why it is the TV volume is
set at 24 and somehow comes on in the morning set somewhere
around 38 or higher. I still don't know who formats TV
movies to specifically fit my television set and why anyone
would want to take a prescription drug after listening to
all the accompanying warnings the commercials render.
As you have guessed I'm not into massive physical activity
and as such will not be taking the time to come over to
your house to show you how to optimize your home computer.
The tech boys at work are out bar hopping looking for their
future wife and I know by now, your home computer is
getting slower than a piss ant missing 3 or 4 legs down
it's right side. (I'm not an anthropologist). Anyway in
between Emails, articles, electronic newspapers somewhere
in the midst of my avid Internet surfing (which sounds
physical) I actually discovered the solution to your home
computer woes. I discovered (as you have) you didn't need
to buy all that fixit software above and beyond the
antivirus stuff. All you need is a series of home videos
that take you by the hand and teach you how to expertly
optimize that little computer operating system with an
hours worth of effort. Your computer will be up and
running as if it was just plugged in today!
