Remote Access
![]()
People access their computers from afar for two basic reasons. One, they want to have something fixed, don't know how to, so, they turn to a trusted friend, or to a trusted forum, or to a trusted help desk. Their would-be helpers are now able to access their computers from the comfort of their dens or offices, look around, find the mistakes (we hope) and fix them (we hope even more fervently). They can fix our software and detect problems with our hardware. In the latter case, of course, to the tech shop we go. It's just like with the medicos: handling software issues is like getting a virtual doctor's virtual house call, while hardware requires surgery, ergo, a trip to a hospital emergency room. The second reason might have sociological connotations. We have become travellers, and some of us carry their laptops even to their favorite vacation spots. Why they do it would be a question for a battery of psychologists or, heaven forbid, psychiatrists. The fact remains, many do it. And they like the look-and-feel of the desktop they left at home. (Of course, some might travel for work and want to touch base now and then, too.) That's where remote access comes into play, also.
