ENC 1102 - Assignment for 1/29

Core I, Part I

In a technological world, one needs a plethora of skills in order to compete in todays market. On reflecting on my own personal skills with various forms of technology I feel that I am slightly above average than most people when it comes to technological savvy. I am good at many basic technologies such as how to use a computer, cell phones, calculators, and navigating the internet. I am also skilled in more complicated programs such as playing computer games, Webcourses, Apple products, movie editing, and most importantly Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office is the most used program in the world. And this skill is most likely the most significant skill to offer a potential employer when going into working society.

However, there are some technologies with which I am not very familiar with and would like to learn more about. These include things such as webpage design, how to use a Blackberry, how to use the new iPad, movie making, and blogging. For all my life, the operating I have used the most has been the Mac operating system. Ever since I was old enough to even use a computer, an Apple Macintosh was always in front of me. I have learned how to use Windows operating quite effectively, but there are others that I feel would greatly heighten my technological knowledge. Other operating systems such as Windows Vista, the new Windows 7, and even the seemingly complicated Linux. By adding these technologies to my repertoire, not only will I be more technologically sound, I will be a more complete individual.
