While others may feel panic at the same time. Here I am going to talk about the time when I faced technological problem in my life. To be precise, it happened few years ago when I was in college. One day I was sitting in my room and I had been working on laptop for 2 hours because My class teacher assigned me an assignment which I had to completed within a given time frame. Unfortunately, my computer system crashed and I lost all the valuable data which contained my assignment as well as presentation. I started feeling panic and I lost my temper because I did not have time to start from scratch. Then I immediately called my friend. He suggested me to visit a nearby technician shop. I followed his advice and went there. When I described my whole situation to technician then he offered me a cup of water and asked me to stay calm.
