"Update" yourself

Technology is one subject that young people are supposed to learn faster than older people. Also, technology is considered a very important tool to our world in this century. A lot of things depend on technology to work, and if we don´t have people with abilities to use technology, our world will be harder. There´s no way to assure every people in the world will have digital skills, but for young people even having a smartphone will help to integrate them with digital devices. Computers are also an excellent tool for learning, and if a person has access to one, he or she will have the opportunity to explore its software, programs, and learn how to work with them. Not every person has access to a computer, and this can probably exclude those people of society. It means more difficult finding a job or just jobs with low salaries which more hand work are used. To be digitally literate people don’t just need to study, but it is very important having easily access to those tools like cell phones, laptops, internet or tablets. I say that because those devices are constantly changing or updating. If you stop using technology today, you probably won´t know how to use in the future.

  1. I find your title intriguing. I like the idea of regularly updating your technological skill set. It would be nice if there was a quarterly memo sent to everyone about what new digital skills they should consider adopting or changing.
