Computer Advice - How and Where Do You Start?

I know that there are people who will give you so much computer advice, you will walk away thinking that they have a computer tech support company or are qualified as a computer consultant.

What I found, was when you actually ask them what they do for a living, you will hear that their career has nothing to do with computers, online tech support or even computer repairs.
My point here is, watch out where and what advice you get and from what source. I would presume that you have found this article because you need some computer advice.

The question here is, "Where do you get this advice" There are thousands of places to find computer advice.
Start with the main topic you are looking for.
You may be searching for laptop help, how to find support for your notebook repairs and so on.

My advice would be to put in specific keywords into your search engine search bar.

I hope you are still with me here.

Specific keywords are words that are specific to your topic. A good example would be the particular name and part number of the laptop or notebook you are searching for.
Now you are going to get advice and information on what you really want, not information from a friend who thinks they know everything but actually do not know much.
Places to find good information are: 1. The Internet 2.

Article directories on the Internet 3. Physical Magazines at your Grocery stall.

4.

A book from your Book store.
The Internet is a power full tool, but having said that, the information is sometimes a little distorted, so watch out here. The next places are article directories on the Internet. Here the information is OK, but what I found is that information gets distributed around the website and changes from its original state, just like word of mouth.

I am sure you have heard of this, when a person tells you one thing and then you here the story a few days later from someone else and the story has changed so much, that you do not know what to believe any more. Physical magazines and books are the best source.

You may argue with me, but no magazine company or book publisher will spend thousands on a publication and deliver information that is inaccurate. They will lose a lot of business.

On the Internet, information is handed around freely, and this is a big concern as I think the value and this information loses its original state. If you are looking for Computer Advice, Internet Advice or any other advice, make sure you look in the correct places and not from people who just talk for the sake of talking.
