Do you have updating anxiety?

"Am I ready for Mavericks?"

Do updates freak you out?

 Are you comfortable with the way your tech is working at this exact moment, so instead of updating, you prefer to forgo updates so nothing changes. 

If you answered "Yes" you might have Updating Anxiety!  Symptoms of Updating Anxiety include:

• Possession of vastly out of date operating systems.
• Barely functional browsers
• Increased vulnerability to security risks
• Difficult to troubleshoot problems
• Increased levels of frustration and stress regarding tech related issues
• Decreased productivity due to lower levels of functionality of apps and programs

Fear not! There is a solution, and it is just as easy as you might expect.

UPDATE TODAY!

Let's bust out a blow-torch of knowledge and thaw your tech from the state of deep freeze you have put it into.  With Mavericks being released to the campus, there is probably no better time to update your operating system, and while you're doing some spring updating, you might as well update your apps (including Mobile Learn), and browsers!

Once you meet your anxiety head-on, you're going to feel better about the technology you use on a day to day basis.
