Moving Along With Tech
I've been to a couple of talks on digital nation and I highly agree that we need to just go with the flow of technology.
I know many who refuse to succumb to Facebook just cos 'everyone's doing it' or some who can't be bothered to get on Twitter cos they don't see the need. Or for everything/everyone else, we're just plain lazy when it comes to the registration part. But we shouldn't be.
Not that I'm on my toes either but I make the effort to keep up cos I wish to be independent when I eventually become a senior citizen. I do not want to have to depend on my kids to do certain things for me just because I don't know how. And I do not want to be fooled simply because 'old people, they don't know'. Need to update ourselves with latest social media tools just so we understand what they're capable of. So there. Try to keep up. One day we will be having exchanges like "remember how we used to make fund transfers and pay bills and all by i-banking? That was a damn huge hassle for having to carry the device around."
