We all know people who refuse to take up new technology. They don’t have an email address, or they hang on to outdated mobile phones, or maybe they are scared of the web, and they certainly don’t want to know about social networking platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
Nothing wrong with that, they can probably get by ok, for how long I don’t know, I’m just glad the majority of people aren’t like this.
Imagine if our ancestors refused to use the telephone, or the original fax machine or what if they turned their backs on the first television? Where do you think we would be today? I’m guessing we’d still be hunting for our food and travelling via horse and cart!
I’m not saying that all these new technologies we have today are great, in fact some can be time wasters, disruptive and uncomfortable to use but if you don’t embrace them and get involved you will be left behind. Today’s world is moving faster than ever which means you need to move fast to.
Forward this message to that person you know who refuses to embrace new technology (if they are not on email you can re-write this blog with a feather quill pen and delivery it via a horse drawn cart).
