Technologically adept | Technologically people

Do you consider yourself to be technologically adept? In this case you may be wondering what I mean by saying the phrase “technologically adept”. To me, being technologically adept means a number of things, subjects and matter which are used in everyday life. I don’t mean, can you fly a plane or can you fix a car computer, just technologically adept in the loosest meaning of the term. Are you someone that can easily set up a blog or a website. Are you someone that finds it easy to use facebook or exchange data over the internet. I’m sure many of the people reading this blog would mainly be people who are technologically adept, but many (maybe even some of you guys are not). I would say that you are not technologically adept if you cannot send emails without struggling, or set up a facebook and chat to friends. Being technologically adept is now as important as being socially adept, because Society now lives on the internet. Ok, that may be slightly over the top, but the internet is definitely a big part of society. Can you find something using google, can you do research and see how popular a website is, this is truly being technologically adept.

Now, don’t worry if you are not technologically adept because it really is not that hard to do. It is almost natural, like being socially adept. The fact that being technologically adept is so important must be known to everyone. If you are not technologically adept there are a few easy steps you can take to being technologically adept. Firstly start a facebook or a blog, this is your portal to speak to the online world. Try to set up and email account and send information to a friend, try to vary the information so you can be technologically adept in all areas. I would also suggest finding a few topics and doing a lot of research on all of them, this will again help you to become technologically adept.

If you struggle with any of these basic things, then you are not technologically adept, but over time you will find it easy to do these few basic things online. There are also many different people online that will help you to become technologically adept, these are general everyday people, go onto forums and there will be groups and chats on basic things like this. Dont be technologically hurt, fit in with society.
