Tech Time In Print
By Reat ha Grey
Why do people resist change? People resist
change because the outcome of change is
uncertain. Young and old there are those
that avoid adapting to new technology,
although the outcome is certain, you will
have all the advantages that modern
technology affords you!
When I was younger, people use to say, ?I?m
not using that new fangled contraption,
what was good enough for grandpa, is good
enough for me.? That wasn?t true then and it
isn?t true today. Imagine mankind still using
an abacus instead of progressing to the
adding machine, and then to a calculator.
The telegraph was great in it?s day, but text
are so much more convenient. There is no
reason to resist technological change, the
reality is, it is going to happen, with or
without you. The longer you wait to jump on
the bandwagon the harder it will be for you
to catch up with the rocket that is moving at
the speed of light. With that said there is no
time like the present to start.
As hard as it might be to believe for some,
there are people that either don?t own a cell
phone or own one but keep it in a drawer at home. These people are usually over 60 and
remember the days when there was just one phone in the house. If no one was home
people simply called back. This was long before answering machines and voice mail,
imagine that! Then there are those that own a flip phone and proudly proclaim that they
don?t want a phone that is smarter than them. My word to these people is the day is
coming when the ultimate smart phone will be the only way that you will be able to
communicate, pay bills, and even buy or sell.
Smart phones are only the tip of the iceberg, e-readers, tablets, mp3 players, laptops,
desktops, smart TVs and so on and so on. The tech world, like the universe is expanding
everyday. I am what they call an early adaptor. I like to get the newest gadgets, install the
latest upgrades, learn what?s hot and what?s not, and share what I learn with anyone that
will listen. That?s what I will be doing in Tech Time In Print.
For those that believe that technology will be the end of the world as we know it, you are
right! It is the wonderful world of convenience and gadgets. Here in Tech Time In Print,
weather you are a newbie or a geek, we will explore and conquer that brave new world
together!
