Electronic Troubleshooting-Past, Present and the Future

I started quite young at about the age of probably 8 or 9 years old. Something inside or rather i call it curiosity, i begin to dismantle electronic toys, and play around with torch light, batteries, light bulb, wiring, and whatever i think have some relation to electronic. Most of the electronic repairer that i knew also start from very young, however some of my repair friends begin to like electronic when they are in the college. That's when their parents want them to take the engineering course. During the 80's i can say many school leavers look for the engineering courses. Time have changed where most of the school leavers nowadays prefer computer related courses such as programming,web design and etc. Out of ten parents that i asked about what are the course their sons or daughters studying-7 or 8 of them will answer computer courses! That's why in these days engineering schools are getting lesser and lesser while computer related courses is booming. I do not know how long this electronic related field can sustain as most of the electronic equipments nowadays are so cheap such as the vcd and dvd. Look at VCR, you seldom heard of it anymore compare to other video equipment. It is not your experience that fade you out, it is the technologies that keep you out of business. Things are getting smaller and cheap and hard to repair also. Suppliers nowadays don't carry much stock and this add salt to our injury. Setting up this blog hope that it can help us to come together to discuss the problems and solutions about electronics-remember you are not alone out there and we would like to hear from you.
