Technology Tip Number 180
Life Long Learning is for Everyone
You may have heard the phrase before. It's the challenge new
technology gives to all of us. The challenge of becoming life long
learners. Hopefully these 180 technology tips are part of
your learning, but they certainly can't be the end of it.
This final
technology tip is a reminder to continue learning, experimenting and
enjoying new technologies. Keep searching and exploring the internet, computers, and all the new
wonders that they are making possible.
In creating the technology tips the "shotgun approach" was used.
Each tip was only an introduction to more knowledge. And though not every
tip appealed to everyone, some tips did. Now its time to move to the next
level and start learning more about specific areas of technology that
are appealing to you.
Below are some links to various other websites and blogs that offer more free
technology tips:
