Aha

The more I learning about new technology the more I realize what little I know. A simple thing like posting a video to the web can be a hair pulling experience if you don't know how to do it. One simple step that is skipped can mean all my hardwork goes into an internet blackhole, filled with internet socks and other misplaced items.

I feel like I need to spend a little time each day just searching and trying out new technologies, just to stay up to speed with what is going on. The only reason I have a Twitter account is because I had to have one for a class, although now I have one for the 4-H program I work with. I spend time at work on social media sites because I am updating them for work. I have individuals who have held out on getting a Facebook account or a Twitter account but sign up in order to stay up to date with what is going on in an organization in which they are involved.

Who knows what the next technology will be. A cellphone is now something we expect everyone to have. We also expect it to send and receive text messages, as the bare minimum. The idea of what else it can do today will pale in comparison to what it will be able to do this time next year. Who could have imagined a car-phone would come so far and so fast.

My only fear is what might happen if one day all technology seized to work (for one reason or another.) Would we be able to survive? Would I be able to survive? I hope the answer is yes, but I am sure there will be a lot of panic first.
