EXECUTIVE COACH AND CAREER FACILITATOR REMINDED AGAIN TO KEEP LEARNING ABOUT NEW TECHNOLOGY

In my local paper this morning there were two lengthy
articles about technology. One of them talks about a huge Tech Expo in San Diego that will have 70 companies giving six minutes each on their latest hi tech product.

The other article talks about text messaging. If you aren't doing it yet, you can be pretty sure that you soon will be fors are being called the latest "snail mail" by the Y Generation.

What is a person to do?

1. Give up and say the heck with it --- I can't do it.

2. Check out the internet and see if there is information how to use or even more important learn how to use this technology effectively.

3. Hire your neighborhood teenager to teach you. (Note I did not say have your children teach you.)

My view, we have to learn how to use technology or we will be left far behind the population as a whole.

BUSINESS COMMUNICATION TIP:

Subscribe to at least one business magazine so that you can keep up-to-date on trends. A couple of my favorites, "Fast Company" and "Inc."
