Social Media Quest – Confessions of a Technology POW
Confessions of a Technology POW
Have we reached technology saturation?
Last year I had to pick out a new TV, a new phone, a new laptop, a new car, and a bunch of smaller stuff. There were so many options and new concepts. It was frustrating. And as I use these new toys, I know I’m only using about 10% of their features. I don’t have time to fully figure them out.
Also last year, for a project, I had to learn the basics of Social Media: facebook, blogging, video editing, YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, yada, yada, yada. All this in order to get into the mainstream.
The human mind has limits.
Some people give up and check out of the whole technology dream. Sadly they are going to become marginalized because they won’t know what’s going on around them.
Others seem to thrive on the pace and proliferation of technology but they will become creatures who have a tremendous breadth but little depth.
Some, like myself, are desperately trying to keep up because we love what we see but we are definitely POWs. We may be doomed to eternal catch-up mode.
Together I’m hoping we can demystify the Social Media side of all this and find a way to keep our heads above water. I just needed to step back a moment and vent. There – I feel better!
