ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Maintenance (technical)

Maintenance (technical) is like cleaning your room or doing the dishes. It's taking care of things so that they last longer and work better. For example, when you get a new computer, you'll want to regularly clean it to make sure it works well and isn't affected by dust or dirt. You might also want to back up some of your files and make sure any software you are using is updated. This type of maintenance will help your computer last longer and save you from any technical problems later.
