Lack Of
Internet Skills A Barrier To Progress At Work
We need to get with the program, technology is no silver bullet,
we have brains for a reason, we simply need to exercise the brain
muscle (this activity has been in rapid decline). The piece below
pretty much sums up this sentiment:
Lack Of
Internet Skills A Barrier To Progress At Work I would guess
this really depends on what your job entails, but a new survey has
found that many people who lack internet "skills" feel that it has
held
them back at work. There are plenty of jobs where I would
assume it would be a requirement that you know how to use the
internet, while there are plenty of others where it shouldn't
matter one way or the other. Also, I imagine this problem will
begin to decrease over time as a new generation of workers shows up
who were brought up on the internet. Of course, then we'll find out
that a lack of "mobile phone text messaging" or some other random
tech skill will be holding people back at work. These are all
skills that can be picked up with a little bit of effort. If people
think they need them to advance in their job, isn't it their
responsibility to learn these skills? You make yourself employable
by keeping up-to-date. [via Techdirt]
I say, "Get with the Program!".
