ICT in the changing world

  When you are faced with a problem, in most cases you tend to find an immediate solution to it either by asking a friend for help or by simply trying to figure out the solution yourself. But trust me, the more you try finding the fix on your own, the more you discover and learn several solutions to one problem. Allow me share the several solutions I came up with when I was once faced by an automatic repair loop.
