Question from Linda
i’ve had this problem for years – computers break when i use them. apple has replaced 2 laptops and 1 ipod for me because they couldn’t repair my brand new machines, my imac’s continually squirrely, and windows applications and programs often freeze or otherwise freak out when i am using them. someone else can step in right after me and have no problems at all. the worst part – i love the technology and all it entails.
this truly is not a complaint that’s masking an inablilty to learn & problem-solve.
i first was suspicious of this problem when in a ‘technology in education’ masters degree program during which we all worked simultaneously on our own laptops & i was the only one who often couldn’t maintain my data, link properly to the server, use certain aspects in a program, etc. these issues happened with my computer, its replacement, and those i borrowed.
anyway, i started having hurt feelings(!)and a bit of paranoia. have hesitated loading my replacement ipod for fear of messing it up….
is my personal electricity causing this? how do i adjust it?
i’ve tried visualizing a buffer surrounding me when sitting at the computer. no luck. someone recommended wearing purple ribbons on my wrists.
Debra’s Answer
I have heard of this with other people and have experienced it myself.
One day things went wrong with all my electronics, so I just gave up and went shopping. I walked into a Radio Shack store and all their electronics started going haywire too!
Our bodies certainly have their own electromagnetic fields which can affect the electrical and magnetic fields around us just as the electrical and magnetic fields around us can affect our bodies. Fortuneately for me, this doesn’t happen with me very often!
Not sure what to recommend to you. Readers?
