Communication isn’t what it once was.
Do you remember when people would cut phone calls short because it was “long distance”? My dad still does it, BTW. Now that that’s not a factor, here’s a bigger question for you: Why are there still people who are reluctant to go digital?
Think about it in terms of history- the pony express was replaced by the telegraph. The rotary phone was replaced by the touch tone. They were replaced because the newer technology made things better. Of course, that concept rings true no matter how far you go back.
There’s more computing power in your phone than there was in the first space shuttle. And all the things you can do with it make your world better, easier. Sure, better and easier get exploited by people all the time. Spam was around before it was called spam. But we don’t have to fall into that trap- spammers prey on the uninformed.
And this is the information age. There’s no reason to be scared of your computer. That’s because the more you know about working in the digital space, the more you can do. If you go the other way, you’re stuck with, “Well, this is a long distance call…”
Learning is easier than ever. The tools are easier to use than ever. Communication with thousands and thousands of people is easier than ever. The only thing that makes it hard… is thinking that it is.
