Technology sucks. I love having it, but, when things go wrong, the world ends. This is basically a recap of what happened to me last Friday. I was casually using my computer when all the sudden it just froze. I couldn't get it to load, so I shut it down and it didn't turn back on. At all. I was horrified, as I had a project due Monday, a research paper I was in the midst of writing, and a bunch of personal information I couldn't imagine loosing.
Luckily, my computer was fixable, but I was so worried that everything would be lost. Apparently it had something to do with a chord connected to the hard drive. It was corrupted, so they had to download everything on a ghost drive, do some repairs, and upload it all back.
It all worked out, but the fear of having a sad mac like Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City was horrifying. From now on I will be backing up my computer every month and ensuring nothing happens again, at least nothing super serious!
