Unplugged and Plugged In!

Plugging in... 

The last day of 2014. Wow. Technology has seen many changes as have YOU, the users of the new during this year. 

After 27+ years of tutoring, troubleshooting, advising, purchasing and installing... the premise of making sure it's plugged in and turned on still holds. How ironic that is. That one piece of advice hasn't changed. 

The other piece of advice that hasn't changed... unplug it, then plug it back in before calling for help. Just yesterday, that was the "technical" solution for a mis-behaving printer [aka wouldn't print]. Sometimes it is the simple solutions that we overlook. Aren't we thankful when it IS the simple solution? 

When next the Tutor is called upon to problem solve, shop, install or teach, the calendar will have turned and it will be January of 2015. What will the technologists have in our future? The Tutor promises it will be interesting, enlightening, maybe frightening, educational, exciting, and fun. See you in the future. Happy, safe, healthy new year.

 ALWAYS REMEMBER: before calling for help - is it plugged in, and is it turned on?
