What do you think will happen to non tech savvy people in the future?
05-06-2015, 01:31 PM
I have friends that are completely clueless when it comes to technology. They don't know shit about their computers or cellphones or anything. They have some kind of aversion to technology.
Do you think technology will be dumbed down and ubiquitous to the point of anyone being able to use it? Or will these people always be lost and asking for help?

I think I'm going to turn into one of those people. I have a love/hate relationship with technology. Yes, it is extremely beneficial and necessary at times, it can also be extremely detrimental. I wish we weren't so dependant on it.
Some find it absolutely insane that I only use a smart phone. I have no computer/laptop/tablet. If my phone gets destroyed, I basically disappear. Which is kinda awesome.
But in the future I know I'm basically fucked since I don't have the slightest clue how to do even basic programming. Figuring out security settings and basic settings, I can do. Other than that I try staying as off the grid as I can, just so I can avoid the headache of technology and the problems that come with it.

I'm not really that tech savvy but I got motherfucking charisma, and that gains me friends who are that always help me out when I need something done.
So I expect nothing to change or happen to me in the future.

I have one friend that's always one step behind. When everyone had pagers he swore by his answering machine. When everyone started getting cellphones he finally got a pager. Now everyone is on smartphones and he's on the old school flip phone. It's comical.

What happens to any person that cannot adapt to changes society undergoes? Simple. They will be slowly phased out and left behind.

The same thing that happened to non tech savvy people is what happened to illiterate people. Tech is a new and easier form of communication. Reading and writing was an easier and more durable form of communication than just talking to people. When literacy took precedence in modern society, observe what happened to the illiterate. Did they get phased out or did they cope?
A friend of mine's father is illiterate but is a multi millionaire. He lets his wife read documents for him. He's an old school wolf who used street instincts to read situations and make business decisions.

Depends on what you mean by non-tech savvy? If you mean people, like some older professors I have had in the baby boomer or early Gen X categories, who don't know how to use Blackboard, PowerPoint, or similar things or who don't know how to hook their laptops up to a external monitor for a meeting or presentation or how to use a tablet or smartphone. Well, in those cases I think most will be retiring soon. However, at least where I am, most people seem to have a functional understanding of computers even in that age bracket but it may just be my social circle.
On the other hand, if you mean being able to change the registry in Windows to create read/write access to a USB drive or to make a program or use SQL to search a database or something like that. Then I think those jobs will still be around in the tech industry. Even though most people these days know how to use a computer they don't know how to do a whole lot in my experience.
On the other hand, programs are getting more user friendly with better GUI's so it might get to the point that even the more technical stuff is easier for the common person. But I kinda doubt it.
While people know how to put together a document or PowerPoint presentation or how to use Facebook or Twitter, most people don't learn stuff beyond that.
Women these days think they can shop for a man like they shop for a purse or a pair of shoes. Sorry ladies. It doesn't work that way.
Women are like sandwiches. All men love sandwiches. That's a given. But sandwiches are only good when they're fresh. Nobody wants a day old sandwich. The bread is all soggy and the meat is spoiled.

If you plan on a tech based career, it makes sense to be an innovator or early adopter of both business and consumer technology to remain close to the leading edge of comprehension. It can be an expensive burden of both time & $.
If you plan on a career that is embellished by technology, which will be all the rest, save your money on gadgets and software, let the bugs get ironed out by others, and be an early-majority adopter.
I waited a few years to buy a smart phone after many started to get them because the previous decade building a recording studio taught me how quick expensive equipment becomes obsolete. But like the old stock trading lesson says:"Don't buck the trend."
There's plenty of millennials who stumble around MS Office and Widows functionality and even their phones. I'm a late GenXer and I was frequently asking savvy GenY guys what different hot key commands were, and various short cuts.
The most difficult thing to make stick in the non-savvy groups minds is basic Boolean search methods for finding the answers you need to learn tech problems on your OWN, and NOT always pestering others. Teach a man to fish. There's a tutorial online for just about everything.
Tech savvy people will pay the gov't to foot the burden of the non-tech savvy people in the future.
