Hello guys,
I have a question: "When you buy something new like cell phone, TV, new programme.. Do you use guide with the instructions to get more familiar with it? Or do you rely on your technical abilities and consider something like this useless?"

I decided to ask because I am now user of Windows 8.1 and I found manual with instructions very useful even though firstly I was like...pfff easy peasy..no need of reading it :D

  • Nope! I'll mess with it until it turns into a heap of junk.

  • If I buy electronic device, then I usually don`t read a manual, because I work with electonics and have deep knowledge. But if I buy furniture or do home repair, I always read manuals, because I have no deep knowledge about these things.

  • Hi lucy
    Generally if thing i bought is not very complicated, i rely my brain to solve its characteristic. Because reading of manuals is very very boring! But if i cannot solve that, i will use manual.
  • Hi Luci

    Normally I do not read the instruction manual unless there was a problem, but I always try to know everything from the seller before purchasing.
    Wishes you good luck.

    Thank you.

  • Hi Luci,..I often don't reading the manual because usually the instruction  general , many people can to use without manual.I often asking to my family..or asking friends before buy the goods.

    Thank you

  • I almost never read an instruction manual. Most of the time they make it even harder. First i try and read later
    • Ellen, me tooooo! Just when m curious about something, some function etc. I am able to look up manual and read about it, but.. it is rarely :-D or only when m totally lost.

  • Hello Luci...

       ...when i buy something new i use guide because:

    1. the the instruction was being to be read.
    2. the technical abilities are  limited...
