Today's Technology
I can remember being part of a summer day camp when I was in the 3rd grade in 1983. We did all kinds of cool things like going to the local nature reserve and spending the day at an amusement park. I can also remember the day the counselors wheeled in the "computer". It was a monstrous piece of machinery that had to be wheeled in on a huge cart. I don't think even Superman could have lifted it! As the blueish-black screen appeared, my buddies and I just sat there in amazement. We had never seen anything like this before. Also little did we know what computers would become over the next 30 or so years.
Flash forward to 2011.....We now have smart phones, the Internet, email, fax machines, texting capabilities, and the list goes on and on. Anyone who has an i-Phone or Blackberry is basically carrying a computer in their pocket. I know what I saw in 1983 would not have fit into my parent's car let alone someone's pocket!
I try to network with people as often as I can for business purposes. I always urge people to network as much as they can on a professional level. The more people you met the more people you have a chance to learn something from. I am amazed with the amount of people I meet in today's society that do not have email addresses or can't attach a document to an email or just flat out can not use a computer. If anyone wants to survive in today's professional world then knowing and understanding computers and technology is mandatory. Now I am not saying that you should know indepth how the inner workings of a computer function. That's why we have IT people! I am saying that having the skills to work on a computer can not be taken lightly. If they are then those people who do take computers lightly will be left behind. Especially those who work in health care!
