An interesting “BIG QUESTION” in Learning Circuits challenges us in many ways: Isn't this an ever-expanding universe of tech goodies? Will we be forced to chase hot tools and social platforms to stay competitive? How the heck are we supposed to stay up to speed on all the latest stuff and be successful using it personally and professionally?

How do we keep up with Technology?
Imagine your life without email, mobile phone, laptop, cable TV… difficult,
isn’t it? OK, we are quite adept at using these. What about Face Book? Do you twitter? What about an
iPad?
Let’s look back, for a change. Do you remember predecessor versions of these gadgets and tools today?
Hardly. Why? Because to paraphrase Alvin Toffler in Future Shock, technology feeds on itself. Technology
makes more technology possible.
That means the new technology spawns new tools that make the old tools obsolete. The good news is that
at any given point of time, there are only a handful of tech tools to adopt and master. Some are so good
that they remain impervious to new predatory technology and they become a part of our daily life, always
present like a faithful friend.
In any case, humans have enormous capacity to learn. It is only our own apprehensions that limit how
much we learn.
The answer to the question is both “yes” and “no”. Yes, there is an ever-expanding repertoire of tech
goodies. Yes, we have to learn them to stay current, if not competitive. No, it is not as difficult as it looks
because with the advent of one new tech tools, some of the old ones disappear.
So, let’s work on our minds to break down apprehensions that we cannot keep pace. All these years we
have done quite well and I am confident we will overcome and persevere in the days to come.
