Editor's Notes
- #2 Good Morning! It is an honor to be here with all of you and
- #3 So who am I –why does it matter?
- #5 I started SocialKNX in 1995 and we help organizations use today’s technology to connect with their communities, share knowledge and build business –today those tools include SOCIAL MEDIA
- #6 And I am over 50!
- #7 That makes me a DIGITAL IMMIGRANT– you see there are two groups of people in your organizations– DIGITAL NATIVES—those of you UNDER the age of 35– look at them they are young, fresh faced… still excited about everything! Digital natives have grown up with much of today’s technology. They do not know life before computers….Many have had mobile devices since they were very young. They are the ones that we hand a new cell phone to and ask them to SET IT UP for us. Then there are those of us over the age of 35. We are digital IMMIGRANTS. We are new to this land of digital technology. We have come to the border and some have crossed into this land with a sense of adventure and have embraced it all—we are on Twitter….Instagram….we have chased our children from Facebook by joining there. Some digital immigrants are still standing at the border…afraid of this new world. They …some of you….are still standing there kicking and screaming. Wanting everyone to come back to the old world where we could call the operator to look up a phone number for us instead of asking SIRI! A time when the word SELFIE was baby talk for…. Well it was just BABY TALK You might long for that time when FRIENDING someone meant ….we were actually FRIENDS.
- #8 There is a new language in this land. It can seem very strange and even scary…. Tweets, followers, and HASHTAGS!
- #9 Today we have new tools…more powerful tools and they keep getting smarter, faster, stronger! We can get more done on our mobile devices today than we can on our computers. I can check email, create this presentation, update spreadsheets, call my doctor, schedule an appointment and update my calendar, make dinner reservations, use the gps built in to get me there, afterwards I can write a review about the restaurant and of course take a picture of what I’m eating because everyone wants to know! Are you embracing these new tools?
- #10 If you are not sure if you are a DIGITALIMMIGRANT—here is a test. IF YOU KNOW WHAT THESE …..have to do with this a PEN…..you might be a DIGITAL IMMIGRANT! IF you actually TALK on your phone…..you might be a digital immigrant IF SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE means letting someone borrow a book…. YOU MIGHT BE A DIGITAL IMMIGRANT!
- #11 You see Technology has changed our world! Never have we lived through the amount of change we are encountering today– social tools, apps and mobile devices…Grown men writing LOL in text messages! IT IS CRAZY! We came from CONSUMERS OF MEDIA…newspapers, magazines, books, television….all passively consuming. We weren’t talking to the authors, writers, or newscasters, giving our opinions or asking questions. We read. We watched. Suddenly there were chatrooms and forums and MYSPACE! Everyone was on AOL, and we couldn’t wait to hear those 3 magic words… YOU’VE GOT MAIL! We don’t get excited to open email anymore do we?
- #12 YOU’VE GOT MAIL
- #13 1:3 will be UNEMPLOYABLE and IRRELEVANT in the workplace in the next 5 years! 1 out of every three of you….look to you left….look to your right….it’s like SURVIVOR…one of you will be voted off the island. What are you doing to make sure that ONE isn’t YOU?
- #14 GOOD NEWS is all of this technology is causing what they call the YOUNGIFICATION of society. Older people using technology keeps them young. Look, were snapping selfies, posting everything on Instagram and SNAPCHAT!
- #15 Today it is not enough to stay the course and do what we’ve always done. We must be learning and growing each day ….
- #16 We mustn’t be afraid of new tools and technology. The tools of today allow us to connect with other thought leaders around the world and sharpen our own skills and broaden our knowledge.
- #17 And then we must use these same tools to share what we know with others. Don’t keep your experience and knowledge to yourself. AT the opening ceremony Monday night, ____________________ gave us the same warning. We have a generation ready to retire and they are ready to walk right out of organizations with all the experience trapped in their heads.
- #18 We must make a point to share more– connect with and develop the next leaders by regularly sharing our knowledge through blogging, social posts, videos or podcasting.
- #19 DON’T BE A KNOWLEDGE HOARDER!
- #20 We are in a very interesting place—a place where Technology is advancing faster than people can keep up. There is no time to stand still. We must act TODAY…..tomorrow….and everyday forward, to stay relevant….to stay ahead in our industry…and lead successful projects into the future!
- #21 Let’s look at 5 things you can do STARTING TODAY to embrace this new digital frontier
- #22 You must simply START! You must jump in and take some action….TODAY!
- #23 You can create a Twitter account….right here …at this conference. Share something you have learned ….
- #24 BUILD YOUR NETWORK BEFORE YOU NEED IT!
- #27 You are here at this wonderful conference—so I think you have this one covered—but don’t stop after the conference—keep that desire to learn
- #28 And then commit to teaching others! Share what has worked on your projects—share your failures with others – share what you know NOW that you wish you would have known when you first began.
- #29 And the last thing you must do, is to maintain your sense of humor with technology! LET ME SHARE THIS SHORT VIDEO WITH YOU
- #30 APPLES- BLACKBERRIES– SELFIES and HASHTAGS– stay playful and keep a sense of adventure in this new land…. Just like my trip here to beautiful BAHRAIN…in this new digital land…..you will find the people WONDERFUL& WELCOMING! THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY!
