The t-word.
It is safe to say that we are all pretty good at shoes. We know that our foot goes in the top and the laces--or straps, I don't judge--keep the shoe firmly attached. So when someone says, "I'm not a technological person." You can say, "You're shoes say otherwise." This may sound pretty fussbudgety, but people need to be more exact. I don't see much difference between saying, "I hate technology." and, "I hate Indians." Latitudinous statements like that make you sound ignorant and foolish, because we both know that you spend 66.7% of your life interacting with technology. We spend the remaining 33.3% asleep. So next time, resist the urge to drop the t-word and try saying something like, "Geez, this spreadsheet stuff is hard."

53.73% of statistics are made up on the spot.
ReplyDeleteGood point. I feel like people do this with art-related activities too. "I'm just not artistic." Most people that feel like they aren't techy are actually quite capable of using a laptop (at least for social networking) or a smart phone.
