Technology Through Our Eyes

A good friend of mine, Aron, studied computer science during his Bachelor's degree. He was very good and skillful with computers. We have been good friends since high school. We even got into the same university. However, we majored in different fields as he likes computers while I prefer chemistry. Upon graduation, he applied for a job as a programmer in a well-known web design company after he saw an advertisement on-line. His has been a good student all these while and has obtained very good academic results. Thus, he immediately got the programmer job after the first interview. And as for me, I went on to become a chemist with a city hospital.

His job as a programmer was not easy. He needs to stay on-line twenty four hours. In other words, he has to be on call twenty four hours. He works with all sorts from programming new language to trouble shooting and solving virus problems. Since he started working, we seldom meet as often like the last time. However, since we both have the Internet connection, we keep in touch through on-line chatting. With all the social networking programs available, keeping in touch with a friend on-line is not a tough job at all.

I will always consult him whenever I face any problems regarding the computer. One day, I realised that my computer was not functioning as usual. The screen would turn black all of a sudden and then some weird texts would appear while I was typing my document. I then thought if this problem could be due to virus. Nevertheless, I am never good at computers and did not trust so much of my assumption. So, I called up Aron and asked him about it. He then offered to drop by to check on it. After just a few clicks, he told me immediately that indeed my problem was caused by a virus named "Lucho". I was told that this virus was not very deadly and should not fear after deleting it with a special software that he brought along. Thank goodness I have a friend like Aron. A friend in need is definitely a friend indeed!
