Technological Attitudes to Life

technological attitudes for life we talked about earlier here. His idea of \u200b\u200btechnology as the driving force of evolution we found it particularly interesting. Margaret Mead said

50 years ago and Kelly reminds us that "the time has come that we must teach our children what no one knew yesterday and prepare the schools for what no one knows to this day." The Bauman and fluidity is a similar idea.
are, in short skills, abilities, attitudes, language and content not so important.

as competition, technological literacy and beyond that, I would say that as technology attitudes (the "mindware" or change of mentality that long ago that we determined as crucial) it seemed interesting to me that let's translate Kelly,

as tips for dealing with technology in a fluid context.

bold added for emphasis that I consider essential and commented in italics:

• Whatever you buy, you must maintain it. Each tool takes time to learn to use, install, upgrade, fix. The purchase is just the beginning and it is likely that we spend so much energy / money / time on maintenance as a technology acquisition.

• The fast changing technology it would be best not to buy anything until five minutes before you need it. You have to take in stride the fact that whatever we buy is now obsolete and acquire it at the last possible moment.

• Be prepared to be a rookie for ever, be competent in the "beginner mode", learning new programs, asking silly questions, getting used to make stupid mistakes, asking for help and helping others with what we learning (collaborative learning is the best way to learn). (Interestingly, the attitude of "learners" in permanent beta advises us. also advise learning social, as we have noted on many occasions here. Recall the concept of "organizations appendicocolic" of Senge.

• Often learning a new tool requires unlearning the old. Habits of using a landline do not work for e-mail or cell phone. E-mail habits do not work on twitter. Twitter habits will not work for what's ahead.

• You have to take sabbatical time. Once a week there to put aside the tools. Abandon them once a year. A once in a lifetime completely reversed. Return with renewed enthusiasm and new perspectives.

• Is it easy to change? Let the tool we are using today sometime in the near future. Is it easy? If you must leave to change all your data or learn a new way of writing, or giving up four other technologies that are still used, then maybe this is not the best place to start.

• Quality is not always related to price. Sometimes the best, sometimes the least expensive is best for you. The evaluation forms and reviews of other / as should be required reading.

• For every expert advice online, ask an expert opinion opposite elsewhere. Its decisions must be taken before a full range of views.

• No need to understand how to use technology well. We do not understand how the biology, but we can use wood. • Tools are metaphors that shape the thinking. What assumptions has incorporated the new tool? I assume that makes use of the right hand? I assume that I am literate, I know a password, there is a place where I can throw it away? The default values \u200b\u200bmay reflect the bias of a tool. • What leave? The only way to take a new technology is to reduce the time already devoted to another. Twitter must be detrimental to other thing he was doing, perhaps thinking or daydreaming. • Each new technology can have side effects. The more powerful your gifts, the greater the risk and potential for abuse. We must assess their costs.

• The risks of new technology should be compared with the risks of its predecessor or not to use any technology. The risks of a new dental MRI should be compared with those of X-rays and the risk of dental radiographs should be compared with the risks of non-existence of X-rays and tooth decay.

• Suspected

any technology with walls to prevent access. If you can fix, modify or "hack" yourself is a good sign.

• The proper response to a stupid technology is to make yourself better, and the appropriate response to a stupid idea, which is replaced with a better idea.

• No one has an exact idea of \u200b\u200bwhat will a new invention. To assess this, do not think, try.

(

use, appropriation of a technology are essential)

• The second-order effects of a technology usually only come when everyone uses it or is present in everywhere. • The

older a technology, the more likely to remain useful.

• Find the minimum amount of technology that maximizes your options.
