So let’s take a look at a few steps to get yourself motivated and how to keep yourself well-informed.

1.  Step 1 – Understand the importance of learning about new technology

New technology can assist greatly with even the most basic daily tasks. First of all, if you want to send a letter to some place faraway, you may need to wait for the postman to collect the letter and deliver it. Now while the delivery service is still in service, you can easily send an email to that person and he/she will receive it right away. That is a simple way to show the advantages of technology. Let’s break them down in details:

·      Technology is the way to make your life easier. If you find that there is a way to take advantage of the technology to make your better then don’t hesitate to grab the chance.

·      Technology will help you organize your works more efficiently. No longer have to run around or checking through a long list to look for something, a simple click may be all that you have to do.

2.  Step 2 – Know the disadvantages of staying behind other

Try to picture yourself struggling in front of a terminal trying to buy a bus ticket or withdrawing money from your bank account. Next to you is some kids just casually go in, poke something and get out. You probably see the general picture now: If you don’t want to learn about new technology, you will be stranded in the society. There is no age too late or too young to learn about technology. Also don’t let your pride get in your way. If you do not know something then ask someone who know. Don’t be afraid that you might look “outdated”, pretending you know everything and got busted may even more embarrassing.

3.  Step 3 – Dig around yourself

There will be sometimes you may learn faster if you just give it enough time by yourself. Use the internet to get information then figure things out on your own may even faster than asking for someone help. Make some mistakes? Don’t worry, just keep going forward. You fail, and then you learn.

4.  Step 4 – Be patient

The whole process may be boring, time-consuming and hard but when you finally got a firm grasp on what to do then you will feel very good, fun and excited. Time and determination are all you need to make it through.

5.  Step 5 – Find a teacher

If you found the problem too difficult to tackle on your own, then you may want to find some help. Sign up for some classes might be a good idea. In there you can access to some good information and guidelines. Ask the teacher about anything you feel foggy, sometimes initiative will get you reach your goal faster than you ever think.
