Are
You an End User?
You probably hear
that term all the time. I know we use it in our articles quite a bit.
So, have you ever wondered what it actually means? You might have an idea,
but would you like a more based definition of the term? If so, keep reading!
An end user is basically
anyone who a software program or a hardware piece is created for. In other
words, it's any user of computer products. In even less words, it's you!
You are a consumer and these products are made for people like you to
buy them and use them. The term is based on an "end goal" with
the end goal being that the consumer likes the product and that it is
useful for them.
End users are put
into different categories than the installers, administrators, the developers
and the programmers. They create programs and other devices to be tested,
marketed, installed, etc. Then consumers like you are able to use them
and you help them reach their full potential. You also help troubleshoot
the products by calling tech support and asking about certain things that
aren't working. This helps the programmers and everyone else involved
to discard any bugs or mistakes that may lie in the item.
Don't you feel special
now, knowing that you, an end user, does all that?! : )
