As we watch all the changes today it is apparent that one needs to spend time each day learning something new. Reading 30 minutes a day in your specific work area and that could include shipping and receiving, building maintenance, and leadership. Things are changing faster than ever and not staying up is going to hurt everyone.
Now we have all heard this before, many times in our lives. From parents, teachers, and well intended employers however even the educated are getting left behind because of this fear of or un-willingness to accept the change that is coming down the road.
As we all know the Personal Computer (PC) in 1977 – 1985 (or 1990 even) was a fad and that the Internet was a waste of time and as I read magazines and newspapers today they all reference links to somewhere on the web – up in the Cloud if you will. If you have the knowledge and are not trying to turn on the lights for someone else you are not returning to society the benefits that you have gained. I think that is what I like about teaching. I know, I talk too much but maybe someone will get the point that this is what is going on.
Now for a couple of links; Check out ReadWriteWeb. Very interesting site regarding “new technologies” as well as other technology items. If you are into news aggregating then check out Social|Median. It has just been opened to public Beta and might be just what you are looking for to put together YOUR news. I heard a discussion with Jason Goldberg on Floss Weekly. Jason is one of the founders and CEO. You can check out Jason’s Personal “News Feed” here.
Have a GREAT WEEK!! Spread the word.
Let me add one thing. Microsoft is releasing a product named SmallBasic. It is aimed at bringing fun into programming for both young and old. Check it out. You can download it from the link.
