WARNING SIGNS YOU MAY BE TECHNOLOGICALLY IMPAIRED
Being technologically challenged or impaired is nothing to be
ashamed about. In
fact, millions of people suffer from it daily. Many, however,
don't recognize their condition, and unless they talk about it,
these people are often difficult to diagnose. It is our sincere
hope that the following list of Warning Signs may serve as a guide
to help you, or someone you know, make an informed decision.
After
sending someone an email, you phone to tell that someone that
you've sent them an email.
All
your bookmarks are tech support sites.
Look
at your email address. Does it end in "aol.com"?
You
keep forgetting which side of the mouse you use to "right-click."
All
your bookmarks are genealogy sites.
When
your computer freezes, and someone tells you to turn up the
heat in the room, you actually do it.
When
installing software and it asks if you want to do a "normal"
or "custom" install, you get upset that there is more than
one option.
You
say things like, "With my new 850 Mhz machine, the Internet
is much faster."
You
ordered a computer with a CD-ROM, but instead it came with
a stupid cup holder.
You are told about viruses such as ILoveYou and warned not
to click the attachments, then the next day you get an ILoveYou
email and click on the attachment because, well, it came from
someone you know.
If
you recognize any three of these signs, you may be in need of
an evaluation by a Licensed Techcare Professional. If you recognize
five or more, you may be suffering from a more serious condition
known as Reinstallzheimers. Seek help now!
