Installing and setting up computers: This is like unboxing a new toy and putting
the batteries in so it can start working.
Setting up computer networks: Imagine you and your friends each have a walkie-
talkie. You all need to be on the same channel to talk to each other. Similarly,
computers need to be on the same network to share information.
Setting up computer servers: Servers are like big, powerful computers that store
lots of information and let other computers access it. It’s like a big library where
all the computers can borrow books.
Maintaining and repairing computers: Sometimes, computers can have problems
or break down, just like your toys. Computer system servicing involves fixing
these problems so the computer can work properly again.
As for careers, if you learn computer system servicing, you can become a
Computer Service Technician, Network Technician, or a Computer
Maintenance Technician. These are people who build computers, fix them, set
up networks, and keep them running smoothly:
Computer Service Technician: This is like a doctor for computers. They diagnose and fix problems
with computers and related devices. This could involve installing software, fixing hardware issues,
and helping users with their computer problems.
Network Technician: This role is like a road builder for the internet. They set up the networks that
computers use to communicate with each other. This could involve setting up routers and switches,
troubleshooting network problems, and ensuring the network is secure.
Computer Maintenance Technician: This is like a mechanic for computers. They perform regular
check-ups on computers to make sure they’re working properly. This could involve updating
software, replacing old hardware, and optimizing the computer for better performance.
Remember, just like how you learn and
practice to become better at playing a
game, learning about computers takes time
and practice too. But with curiosity and
hard work, you can definitely do it!

You and your friends are playing a big game of “telephone”, but
instead of being in the same room, you’re all in different parts of the
world. That’s what telecommunication is like! It’s like sending secret
messages from one friend to another, no matter how far apart you
are. You can use it to talk on the phone, send emails, or watch funny
cat videos on the
internet.
Now, think about a Call Center Agent as the person who answers the phone when
you call a company to ask about your favorite toy or game. They help answer your
questions and solve any problems you might have.
There are two types of these agents:
1. Outbound Agents are like your friends who start the game of “telephone”. They
call people to tell them about new toys or games that they might like.
2. Inbound Agents are the friends who listen to the message you pass in the game.
They answer calls and help people who have questions or problems with their toys
or games.
