Chapter 1: Introduction to Computers
Read post, answer question, and respond to one of your classmate's postings. (Periods 1-3)
Virtually everyone who works with computers has experienced problems with computer software. Problems can range from not being able to install the software on your computer to installed software producing unanticipated results. Depending on the situation and time these problems occur, it can result in a great amount of user stress. Some people compare these types of problems to a craftsman's tools malfunctioning in the middle of the project. On the other hand, many people feel reactions to computer software problems tend to be more extreme than reactions to problems with other tools they use. Evaluate situations in which you have seen people react to computer software problems. Discuss how these users can reduce their frustration when dealing with such problems.

ReplyDeleteThe problem i have with computer software.Is when me and my farther tries to watch videos it says it isnt compatible.Must download software and it still doesnt work it makes me mad.
The other day my mom was trying to load pictures onto the computer, but it said that it couldn't read the drive, and she got really mad. My dad eventually figured out what was wrong.
ReplyDeleteMy sister was trying to download a video and it brought in all of these viruses. My dad is a computer programmer and he was able to get rid of the viruses. I've also had times when photos aren't pulling up though. The only person out of my family who usually gets angry with the computer is me. :/
ReplyDeleteWhen this happens I have to walk away for a bit and then ask my dad for help.
one day my mom could not figure out how to run a program that she had downloaded. she had me get on and figure out how to run it.
ReplyDeleteMy mom's a science teacher and she makes videos on the computer. Sometimes she has trouble though and gets frustrated.
ReplyDeleteLast week I was trying to transfer mp3 files from a flash drive onto my dad's laptop, and from there onto itunes. The mp3s transferred fine, but when I went to open them in itunes it said the files were either invalid or too big. So I had to start over and rename them so they'd be smaller.

ReplyDeleteMy mom gets really mad when she tries to put her iPod music on her Macbook.
@ Branford try and see what your bandwidth is. You might have all of it used up so it could be really slow on your Xbox.
When me and my brother's computer freeze one of us (him) ends up hitting the computer. I think he should turn the computer off and restart it or go and do some other stuff and probably it will be running by time he come back
ReplyDelete@Summer!:D yea the same things happened to me but i thought it was just cuz you can't upload mp3 files on itunes

ReplyDeleteFor a while, whenever you opened the internet on our desktop computer, everything would crash and my parents started getting really annoyed so i told them to just call the internet company.
my mom has an ipod but expects me to do everything for her. She says that itunes is too complicated and she gets frustrated
ReplyDeleteDealing w/ software problems mat be frustrating because you are not pateint. If you do not know how to fix the problem take it to a computer specailist or you could be one by just going to the public libary and search on google how to fix that can of problem and then once you find it print it than go bach to wherever your pc is and try to fix it yourself. You save lots of money if you fix it your self, like once my laptop had a virus and i got all frustrated because the guy wanted close to $100 to take the virus out, but i went online and downloaded a virus protection program and it took the virus out and up till now i haven't had one single virus yet.
ReplyDeleteYou can call your local geek squad or computer company to help you insatll it for. Thats if your willing to spend money for it, but atleast it will be done corect.
ReplyDelete@Julian, my mom is the same way, she can't even figure out how to work her iPod period
ReplyDeletesometimes my internet moves very slow even though the ethernet cord is plugged in the back of the computer and this makes me very mad.
ReplyDeleteWhen I downloaded Windows 7 to my Laptop, my internal microphone stop working. I was very stressed out... I eased the problem by uninstalling the program and everything was working normally again.
ReplyDeletegood for you dakaan

ReplyDeleteIm kinda average when it comes to tech stuff, it took me about an hour to figure out how to get music on my phone. But i find staying calm helps things go along smoother if you run into tech problems.
@ jay my mom expects me to everything for her too and my sister. I had to fix my sisters hard drive while she sat there and told me i was taking too long
ReplyDeletemy computer froze up during map testing it was annoying. I waited patiently for an administrator to fix the problem. They fixed and everything worked out.

ReplyDeleteAt my dad's house, our internet is messed up and so sometimes it stops working. It's very annoying but usually it starts working again soon after. The other problem is that our phone is messed up because of the internet. For a while our phone number got switched with some other lady's number.
@Sam
ReplyDeletei didnt know your mom was a science teacher, and i think its easier to make videos on macs and not pcs
my cousin has anger issues and yells at the computer when it doesn't work. He also tends to hit stuff...
ReplyDeleteMy friend Sam, has a lot of problems with computers, hes not technically advanced or computer smart. When the little "please wait" wheel is up, Sam becomes uncontrollably mad. The best thing that he can to help his anger is to just relax and stay calm. I like to use a stress ball, and just to squeeze it as hard as i possibly can.
ReplyDeletemy brother does that too Sam, computers are so frustrating sometimes.
ReplyDeletemy sister once downloaded a mixtape on to the computer and tried to put it on a cd and it said not able to sync and she got mad and told me to come do it for her

ReplyDelete@davante did it ever download
ReplyDeletea few weeks ago i was trying to download a song to my i-pod from my dads computer. i tried waiting patiently and when eventually downloaded to the computer i had to do all this extra stuff for it to download it was so frustrating.
ReplyDelete@davantemeadows
i had the same problem but i suggest to just let the computer rest for a while..
I personally have dealt with my share of computer complications. At times it seemed like every other month we had some virus , & had to pay more money to get protection. This can be very frustrating , ecspcially when the computer is a key source in the completion of your homework . The key in not being so stressed is PATIENCE. With time any problem can be fixed.

ReplyDeleteOnce I couldn't use the internet for a week because there was something wrong with my modem. I had a DSN Error and I didn't know how to fix it. I tried re-installing my modem and router, but that didn't work.
@Jay my Mom's the same way its annoying, so I just made her download music straight from her Iphone.
ReplyDeleteMy computer software problems are much more simple than most peoples. I have problems with like just not having the printer plugged in.
ReplyDeleteVirtually all a person (user) has to do is just allow someone to help who is experienced in the problem that the user is having

Computers can be really frustrating but I suggest just walking away from the computer and coming back when you are more calm. My sister was having trouble opening an application. Her macbook was being slow, instead of getting frustrated she just set it down and came back later. By then iphoto was working fine and her annoyance was gone.
ReplyDeleteWhen i first got my chocolate touch cell phone to put music on it i had to install some kind of software but it never installed correctly. i eventually figured out an easier way to put music on my phone without using the software.
