During my school years, there wasn't much emphasis on the use of technology to support and drive our education. But my technology skills have greatly improved since I joined the military in 2003. We use technology via computers, radios, satellites, etc. as a necessity for the mission and those in the military have no choice but to be technologically literate in most career fields. I am very confident that my technology skills are more than adequate to survive and be successful at my job, school, personal affairs and also equipped with enough skills to continue to improve those skills as society changes it's way of using technology. I plan to maintain my current skill level by self education/research on how technology is changing with time, computer based training offered through different military applications, and college courses that I am currently enrolled in.
Several applications such as IT e-Learning, Apple and Microsoft workshops, and distance learning courses are available to me in order to stay proficient in my technology skills. Small tasks such as doing group projects for a class and learning how to collaborate with peers can be useful in my future career when trying to collaborate with clients or setting up meetings via global communications. I am thankful for being technologically literate because our society is moving very fast in and we have to be prepared for rapid and constant change in technology as it relates to almost all aspects of our lives.
