How to get more from your tech

One of the things that I get asked alot as a Computer tech is: how did you learned all this?  My answer is simple: its stuff that i like to do, and that I enjoy doing.

What I have come to find out is that when you like doing something, you get really good at it.  One thing that I do is that when i cant figure something out, i try and try.  While this might not be the same for others, what I usualy do when i run out of options, I turn to google.  When ever I encounter something that I have not deal with before, looking for others that have had been there before is a really good way to get your hands dirty. There are lots of people out there that have been in the same situation, it just takes a little effort to find them, and see what they did to fix what I am working on.  Anything from blogs to youtube videos helps, to find the answer.

Depending on what it is that you are working on, it might be a new smart TV, or a new all in one printer, getting the most tech out of it is all we want.

One of the things that I do to get things setup, is to simply follow the instructions. Yea that little booklet that came with your device it has the answers that you need.

Another thing that I do, when I don’t have the instructions is to find the main menu.  Many devices this days have a menu, and inside those menus there is information that is useful for the setup and configuration of the device.

One of the key ingredients to finding answers it to have patience, setting something up might take a while but with the right settings and configurations, it will be a rewarding experience.
