Have you ever been involved in a conversation with two or more tech people and its like they are speaking a foreign language? They throw around words and acronyms that just sound like gibberish. It can be tough to follow along and sometimes even harder to say I don’t underst and.<\/p>\n
What prompted this blog piece was a tutorial I put together for an executive in the financial industry who wanted a better underst anding of online terminology and marketing. More and more companies are using social media as a business tool and if you are not tech savvy this can be a hurdle to furthering your career.<\/p>\n
It would be hard to take advantage of these online opportunities if you don’t even know where to begin or don’t even underst and the language.<\/p>\n
I promise you taking it slowly and step by step you can learn to underst and and utilize these tools.<\/p>\n
Some of the questions my client sent were simple but great questions that led to great conversations about how and why do we use the tools.<\/p>\n
Some of the questions included:<\/p>\n
What is a cookie?<\/p>\n
What is a cpu cache?<\/p>\n
How do I participate in discussions on LinkedIn?<\/p>\n
What is private on the internet? And of course if you have ever read my pieces or followed me on twitter you know I don’t believe anything is private on the net.<\/p>\n
These are great questions. And a wonderful professor taught me if one person has these questions so do others. So don’t be afraid to ask. Knowledge is power.<\/p>\n
