Technical Support

I remember when I was in college. There were so many deadlines to meet, projects to do, term papers to encode, and readings to understand. But what I really hated most that time was this one time when I had a technical problem, particularly one having something to do with data. It was during my senior year. I was writing one of the most stressful requirements for my course on Film.

I was almost finished with it when my laptop suddenly crashed down. I was shocked and at the same time, angry. I didn’t know whether I should blame myself or the inanimate computer. But then again, I realized it was my fault. I didn’t save my work. And I used it even though I knew it had problems with its memory. After that, I always made an online backup of my work. Just to make things sure. I am not going to encounter another problem like that in the future for sure.
