Fear of Technology

Is your fear of technology affecting your decision to take the first step towards running your own business?

Is your fear of technology affecting your current job or education?

Are you avoiding technology as much as possible, only doing the necessary so you can get by?

Technology is not everybody’s cup of tea. However, it seems to be infiltrating every area of society, in places you would never expect. There was a time when computers could only be found in large fortune 500 companies. However, now they can be found in most homes either in the form of a laptop or desktop or they’re being used as glorified mobile phones as Pads with specially designed applications. Mobile phones are now as capable as computers for being used as devices to connect employees with their co-workers, customers and suppliers.

If you want to get a business up and running which only requires face to face customer interactions, then choosing a trade which requires little technological interaction to function will be your best bet. However, your finance, marketing and sales projections will be quite labour intensive and you will miss out on the advantages of emailing letters immediately and producing financial projections which can be calculated in seconds, with ready made formulas which can be reused and copied in a couple of clicks. Therefore, in order to avoid falling behind your competitors (who will inevitably be using spreadsheets and the internet for researching, etc). Hiring someone to assist with tech will be the best way forward. Help is at hand for the technophobe.
