Technology Separates The First From The Second Class Today

It used to be that people who didn’t go to college were second class citizens. No more! In fact college is great, but it’s no longer necessary. What separates the first from the second class citizens today is knowledge of technology. Those who know how to are of a different class than those who don’t know how to. Forget racial, religious and political differences. The real difference that matters is techno-know how.
Technology is in the news constantly, so to not be caught up is to live in a cult! Those people who STILL shun cell phones really do live a different lifestyle than the majority of urban, suburban and even rural communities. And if they shun cell phones, chances are they’re not prolific about being on line or using the short cuts and resources that technology allows — so they really are different.
If you feel left behind, consider catching up like learning French or Spanish or some other language. You’ll get it, but not overnight and not in a week. It takes a commitment to the new communication to get caught up.
