The one annoying technology downside is most complicated things need to be kept current in order to function properly. That’s digital stuff, which everything is these days. Even the once passive things like TVs will need updating. CD/DVD/mp3 players usually have newer firmware updates that can improve performance. More than anything it’s the not so user friendly computer equipment that needs most frequent updating. Updating your system really does make life easier in the long run and keeps the computer repair guy away for good.
The good news is these updates aren’t overly complicated and are provided by manufacturers free of charge. Over 95% of the people who visit this site use a version of the Microsoft Windows operating system and over 80% use the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser. Both of these require updating of one sort or the other to keep them functioning properly and problem free.
The best way to do is to go to the windows update homepage and download the updates(usually released once a month) Even Windows 98 needs updates the last time i checked. Microsoft requires you to use their Internet Explorer browser to get these updates.
The install procedure is straightforward and takes only a few minutes on a broadband connection. If you got a new PC chances are it needs updating too. Installing all the post updates in this case may take a while.
Windows XP and others versions also have an automatic updates application which downloads and installs updates right when they’re released.
