Man vs. Cyber

Computers are deep- I mean this metaphorically as my laptop is razor thin. There is a lot of business going on behind that screen and plenty of traps to fall into.
Recently Joe Hatch, a "Geek Squad" guy at school came into my CS 1300 class to speak on computer safety and survival. Much of what he had to say concerned cleaning our computers of unwanted junk so they don't lag. This interested me quite a bit because around a week after buying my $2000 dollar Macbook Pro it's performance seemed to degrade. This trend continued for a while, finally ending a year and a half later with Joe's glorious enterance.
Computers, it turns out, run slowly because they accumulate excess files and become cluttered by them. With so much information flying around it is tough for the system to find the proper one. Unlike humans, when computers are placed in such a difficult position they don't sweat, they run really slowly.
Joe went onto mention methods of wiping our computers clean and defragmenting their disorganized files. Programs such as C Cleaner exist for PCs to expunge unneeded files and Voila! No longer are you dragging your cursor through the mud. For my Mac on the other hand he recommended reseting the Safari browser. Naturally I did as Joe said and am now happily writing this blog with minimal lag and little frustration.
Cheers Joe!
