When I speak I am often introduced as some kind of a high tech person and right away I have to explain that this isn't about technology. I won't allow the word technology to be put into the title of any of my sessions either becasue it scares people away. I have often found that once people have a reason to use a computer they learn quickly. I always thought that people called it technology to frighten others or to make them sekves sound smart.

While we say it isn't about technology, you still have to know basic computer and/or smart phone skills to use it. I spent years teaching technophobes in retail centers & call centers how to use basic computer point of sale systems. Computer savvy people take their knowledge for granted. For a lot of people, it is not so easy. So true Hal. While we say it isn’t about technology, you still have to know basic computer and/or smart phone skills to use it.
