Program Summary:
Balance seems to be a fleeting state. Regardless whether it is our family and work life, or striking a balance between the adoption of technology and actually performing the work, heck, even eating a balanced diet seems to be beyond most of us.
When we look specifically at the world of technology, we can certainly get so caught up in the potential benefits that we never actually reap them.
Sometimes it is good to take a step back and try and view with perspective how things fit in our lives.
Steve Dotto will share an honest, thoughtful and whimsical view of technology with you, including how the adoption of technology is effecting every facet of our society, from personal and family issues, through the workplace into the environment.
You Will Learn How To:
· What is Web 2.0 (the underlying technology that is molding our on-line world)
· Why it important to understand and master new technologies
· How to gain control over the your technological life
· Why it important to embrace change
