Technology and Educational Technology 


Following my previous post about the positives of having a digital resume and why it is very beneficial to sign up to mobileresume.org, however, this post is more towards education in general. 

To set the record straight, what I mean about education is not only the knowledge you get at school but also in work in means of professional development or experience which will become a part of your knowledge. A lot of companies these days, some more than others are very technologically advanced and relies heavily on their tech to operate on a daily basis. So if you belong to the resistance, constantly hiding behind the phrase “well it worked perfectly in the past without tech” in my opinion, you really need to be more open to change. 

It might have worked in the past, but we don’t live there anymore not to mention, there is a lot of competition in the market these days in addition, some governmental bodies might require certain systems in order to monitor the company. You might feel out of your element and that whatever the tech that you are forced to use is unnecessary and that your children shouldn’t have to use tech devices to do their homework or use software to acquire knowledge rather they should only use pen and paper exactly how you used to do, because you have done it like that and it worked and this is the only and proper way on how to do it. 

You can rant, parade, complain and put on an argument as much as you want claiming that you know what is better for yourself or child, but allow me to put it in simple words, the world is changing and is relying more and more on tech, while some resistance is good but also swimming against the stream isn’t the wisest decision nor forcing a company or school to accommodate what you see is best. While there are a lot of benefits and a lot of negatives to using tech, but that is the case in everything in life, it is up to you to see the half empty or half full glass. You can always search for companies or schools that functions according your comfort zone, but surely trying to force a company or school to accommodate your comfort zone is just . . . . . .

Anxiety Attack

Anxiety Attack Even writing this post is making me anxious. I doubt that I am the best person to explain anxiety, how it occurs and what causes it but I will try to give you an insight on what I think it is and you can take it from there and do your research. Have you ever work up and that there is this feeling in your gut that makes you feel uncomfortable, not talking about physical pain here like the one you have after doing 500 reps in abs workout. The feeling of disgust, acidity bubbling in your stomach to the extent that your whole body feels off. Hormones all over the place, the feeling that you just want to throw up, well my friend you might be suffering from anxiety.   It is very difficult to know what is causing it, but usually, it is all mental and got to do with your life circumstance and believe me there is no easy way out of it. Usually, what helps me get past this is a workout, a walk, some music, meditation or some reading. Not sure how severe yo...

Gaming addiction

Gaming addiction If you were never the gaming type then I guess you do have more time on your hands, but for those gamers out there, this article is for you. From my own experience, I have been a gamer for most of my life, starting from the good old floppy disks games to today on my smartphone or video game console. It does seem to me that for most of my life I have been crossing the thin line between being a gaming addict and a casual gamer. To me, it was all about my mental health, stress levels and what was going on in my life, not to mention really good advertisement and hyping up a game.  Most games that I have come across these days have this element that you have to keep on coming back or you will lose progress in comparison to other players, which is usually done by daily challenges or rewards.  The worst element that I have come across was the “pay to win” in other words, if you spend real money on the in-game purchase, the chances you will alw...

Don’t do it alone

Don’t do it alone You might see yourself as a more than able human that is capable of being independent and being a one man/woman band. Nothing wrong with that, as it can be very convenient and comfortable, nowhere to check in, no one to report to and just being detached.  While it is totally possible to do it, but the million dollar question is it worth it? In an era where entrepreneurship and being an entrepreneur is in the middle of everything and is being the life that a lot of people desire with all what it offers. But like every good thing, there is a bad side to it that can be very frustrating. Well, it gets really lonely and overwhelming as you have to do everything yourself unless you can afford employees.  For most fresh on the market entrepreneurs, having money is not a luxury that you have at the beginning of your journey and your resources might be limited at first. Usually stuck with the decision, of continuing the struggle or going back to ...
