It's funny how technology evolves so quickly and many people make a living talking about tech trends, but few talk about the emerging skills that follow those trends.
Now, i've had a smartphone for a while now, but I have resisted the urge to blog from it simply because my swyping skills are no match for my 90wpm typing skills. Why use a platform that takes twice as long to get the job done, I say. Then I realized, it's not the software or hardware; it's the operator!
While i've been using my phone for everything BUT document creation, the generation behind me is learning to swype at 90wpm. And while i've been neglecting my laptop (and by extention, my blog), recent grads are pumping out content while waiting for business meetings to begin.
Knowing how the tech works is just one piece of the puzzle... mastering the related core skills is the elephant in the room. It's about time we acknowledged that.
