Wrong Help Directions
Years ago, I used to be a computer tech for dell. I had the A+ certification to help you with your issues on the phone etc. I was there when we were given the new software to go onto YOUR computer, and just do it for you was launched. This new prosses saved companies like Dell a fortune because no longer did they have to teach you to do it yourself. (Great for them, bad for you, most of the time.) In learning all this tech stuff, I found out that fixing computer issues was 10% knowledge and 90% being dam good at looking stuff up on the internet.
Jump to today! Now it seems that 50% (or more) of the help on the internet is outdated and that is only going to get worse as time goes on. Because the internet remembers everything and no-one goes back and deletes their old stuff because having all that on your blog etc.… makes your site look more active and well used. It also makes the site owner more of an “expert.”. My best tip for you today is LOOK AT THE DATE!!! If this article was written in 2016, it’s not going to help you. Try to go for help articles, step by step instructions, etc. That are less than one year old. That is still not a guarantee, but your results will be closer to the answer, I promise. If you have a really old computer look for dates around when you bought it. If it’s an internet thing like “How do I export my chrome bookmarks,” make sure it’s a current date.
