Technology in the 21st Century can be daunting, let’s not mince words, it can be down right intimidating. We fear what we don’t understand. Trust me as a fifty-six year old ‘ baby boomer ‘ there is a lot I don’t understand when I get on my i-phone 6 ,laptop, and desktop personal computer. However being reluctant to challenge the ignorance that many of us suffer from when it comes to technology is not going to help us one iota as we trek toward navigating a on-line business, or scanning a document to send by e-mail.
The only way we can become more proficient with a era that is not going away any time soon, but will intensify as the years go by is to confront the challenge. It has been said that globalization basically eliminated much of the blue collar workforce. We might be more familiar with the term called ‘outsourcing’. However as we see the advent of more and more kiosks, automated toll booths, self-checkout cashier lines, and soon to be self-driving cars it is obvious the robot invasion is in full effect. This quick and powerful technology trend will soon gobble up, what we know as the ‘ white-collar workforce ‘. Now is the time to position ourselves in a quality home-based business, seek entrepreneurship on the world-wide web or something of the sort because the haggard old philosophy of , go to school/get good grades/get a college degree/get a good job and everything is going to be all right is passe.
At some point we have to invest in ourselves. We can educate ourselves through YouTube University , Google Tech, and Trial & Error Institute (smile)! Believe it when I say love is the gateway to education. To love yourself is the greatest love of all. This means let’s be patient with ourselves, when one step or another gets us totally frustrated, because until we figure it out we can’t progress to the next step. Patience is a virtue . Faith, is something that if we strengthen our belief, along with patience, we will become powerful in our quest to get on top of this technological world, and profit from it at the same time. Unfortunately, many of us are trained to live off of fear instead of desire. There is nothing more powerful than a made up mind! Come on , with it digital era we are ready , willing, and able!
