When I was asked to write an article about computer solutions, I was pretty stumped. What do I know about computers, I thought? Yeah, I use one, like most people. I get on the internet and expect to push a few buttons and summon up the information I need. But ask me about computer solutions, how a computer works, what computing is all about and I scratch my head and watch the tumble weed roll around my feet.
I don't use or have any need for computer solutions. Or so I thought. Looking into it a little further, I realise we all use them all the time. Computer solutions are in our everyday lives, regardless of age, intelligence levels, ability, class and race.
Long gone are the days when I really believed Starsky and Hutch were miniature people running around inside my TV. The TV is one of the first things that we all realise carries a degree of computerisation. We realise it, then we forget it. But every time we pick up the remote control to save ourselves the long trek across the room to switch channels, somebody, somewhere, has had to come up with a computer solution.
Switch on the DVD player and a whole host of computer solutions come to life. Pop in a cartoon DVD for the kids and computer solutions come into their own with numerous man hours having gone into the computer graphics and animation behind the story.
Walk down any street and you'll see the majority of people who look like they're wearing hearing aids but are, in fact, listening to music on their mp3 players or iPods. This is another computer solution application that constructs barriers to conversation, just as a TV does.
Simply washing your smalls has gone all computerised on us. Using the washing machine these days requires onboard computers. Some of the more high tech complicated washing machines require a virtual degree in computer programming just to get a quick rinse and spin done.
And therein lies the ongoing problem of simplifying computer solutions. Everything moved on in leaps and bounds with the dawning of the technology age but in the struggle to make our lives easier, for some it has just become more difficult. On top of that, it doesn't seem to give us any more time because we just try to cram more in.
Those who work in the world of computers are constantly striving to discover new ways of using computer technology, then on ways to apply it in everyday life. Next, they find ways of making it available to the masses, then they have to try and make it affordable. After all that, they then look for ways to fine tune what they have to make it easier to use. Whatever happened to an on/off button? I might not know about computers but who doesn't understand on/off?
At least if we don't like this complicated life we can escape to the world of virtual reality. An amazing feat on the behalf of computer solution experts comes in the form of what resembles a wired up oversized crash helmet. You can escape to a place that not so long ago was the stuff of science fiction movies.
Surely, they could make a programme for this virtual reality world that would show us how to use all our complicated computerised gadgetry.
Divorce has become and industry in this country and this article will shed light on how it is affecting families. One of the things I resent most about the Divorce Industry from my own experience is that they keep the average person from knowing as much as they can about the process. People should be able to easily comprehend the laws that they are required to abide by. As I found out myself, restraining order laws are extremely nonsensical. They vary from state to state, and there are some very stringent requirements in terms of periods of time in which certain pieces of evidence are admissible. For example, in my own case my ex-wife alleged that I made a threatening phone call. In her affidavit she claimed I made the call while I was on my way out of town after I had dropped my daughter of at her house. So there was an ex parte hearing that happened on one day and then I had seven days in which to respond. My attorney at the time seemed to have made a reasonable attempt to respond. What I didn’t realize is that I had 30 days after the time of the initial order in which to appeal and to question the original premise of the order. Once those 30 days ended I could no longer introduce evidence. So 30 days passed, and within that time I fired my attorney and got a new attorney. The new attorney and I gathered the phone records and they showed that, true to my claim, I did not make a call after the visitation. The records clearly show that I made other phone calls during that time, but not to my ex-wife. The phone call she swore under oath that I made never took place. I had to wait a total of 20 months to be able to introduce this evidence to prove my innocence. During this time, my ex-wife and her attorney did nothing to change their story, even though they had the same evidence in front of them. They simply held out in order to keep me separated from my children. That’s it. It was simply a game strategy. In the word’s of my ex wife’s attorney, it was “a more potent remedy to filing a motion to modify visitation." It had nothing to do with me being a threat, or there being a real need for a restraining order. It is simply a way to circumvent due process. This is why restraining orders are considered the nuclear bomb of the divorce industry. It’s an extremely frustrating process. My newly released ebook and my video blog are part of my website: http://www.restrainingorder911.com which provides support for men and fathers who are being taken advantage in their divorce and custody matters. My ebook covers the top ten tips you need to know in order to stay out of jail, while my website gives you additional tools and information to protect yourself during a divorce. My ebook is meant to address some of these important issues. It isn’t meant to cover every detail, but gives you the top ten tips. It starts to emphasize the need for individuals to advocate for themselves and stand up for their own rights. Restrainingorder911.com and my other websites focus on the men who are acting on their own behalf. Not just to win, but to maintain contact with their children without an adversarial approach. I went the adversarial route, and at the time I didn’t realize the damage that could be done to children. Divorce damages everyone�"parents and children; and my mission is to help you benefit from my mistakes and experiences so that you and your children don’t have to suffer like I did. My website and ebook are valuable keys to staying out of jail and proving the charges against you false.
