Personified Tech Issues

‘If Computer Problems Were Real' Depicts PC Difficulties Liter

Anyone who’s worked in an office knows how incredibly annoying it is when the entire network goes down, but as Awkward Spaceship, reveals in the 'If Computer Problems Were Real' clip, things could be a lot worse.

The very funny ‘If Computer Problems Were Real' highlights what it'd be like if tech issues were to actually translate to real life. The scenario takes place at a typical office in which the employees are having a cruddy day. Whether it's Windows crashing, documents freezing or a firewall interrupting the system, these white collar employees are having anything but an easy time at work. After watching this, I'm sure most people will now agree that a literal computer problem is far worse than what occurs on the screen -- sort of, anyway.
