Technology used to scare the pants off me. I would even proclaim, loudly and proudly, that I was a technophobe.
Then a shift happened.
I wanted to create a blog, and get back into textiles and design.The thought of using technology to do any of this quietly terrified me.
What if it was all too hard?
What if I was so clueless that I couldn’t even get started?
So I started small. My first triumphant feat was actually tiny in the grand scheme of things.
It was a widget.
Literally.
A widget that allowed me to connect my Facebook site here to my blog here.
Sounds simple right?
Despite being a small task, in the past I would’ve skirted around this by getting someone else to ‘help’. Which is code for please do it for me. You know, because I am useless with technology, and am a technophobe.
In spite of my inner voice protecting, that it was all too hard, I charged headlong into it.
And won!
I found and installed a dinky little widget myself.
Connection successful.
How great is this? I thought.
If I can do this, I can take on anything tech. A few days later it hit e, I was no longer a technophobe. There was another unexpected shift that occurred. I realised that technology is a huge part of our lives.
How we embrace technology is a signal to our kids, our loved ones, our friends and our workmates about how they could embrace technology in their lives.
Do you embrace technology? Or are you a bit of a technophobe…
Enjoy xx
