Kids, I'm going to tell you an incredible story, the story of how I met technology. Twenty-five years ago, before I was Dad, I had this whole other life. Before your time, there were computers, but touchscreens, retina displays, and digital personal assistants were new. Today, of course, we have exceeded vastly beyond those days of technology. Back then, we could not imagine what would evolve, we could only guess. We tried to come up with broad ideas of what technology would be like in the future. There were experts, like there are today, that predicted the future with scientific ideas and what not, but they never could have conceptualized what we have now. Our place in that future was to decide if we wanted to embark on a career in technology and hand-pick the classes in high school and college that would assist us in exceeding towards our goals. There are many careers in technology. Say you want to work in a S.T.E.M. career. S.T.E.M. stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Any career that works with any one of these is considered a S.T.E.M. career. Professions such as forensic scientists, doctors, marine biologists, biochemists, and architects are included in that range of jobs. If you wanted to work in a S.T.E.M. career, taking, algebra, biology, information technology, and computer science in high school would be for the best. These classes would prepare you for whatever job you ended up with. S.T.E.M. careers require classes prior to them to teach the basics of the material. Graphic design is one that can used for a wide variety of different careers. It can be used for advertising, comic books, and magazines. Digital marketing allows for a wide variety of careers as well. Software engineering is another example. It deals with video games and various different types of experiments, such as a television show demonstrating the calculation of wind speed on the glossy exterior of a car. Technology has changed nearly all jobs at least a little bit. Teachers can now automatically track attendance electronically. Gradebook software automatically calculates grades. Teachers use multimedia to format fun, interactive presentations and set up online discussion boards, post due dates and schedules, and email additional information to their students. Writers get in on the fun as well bending technology to their will putting to use their incredible imaginations. Many of the typewriters of the past have been replaced by computers and other digital devices. Business people can communicate with others all around the world. Now products are available worldwide. A larger audience means more demand, therefore more mula. As you can see, technology has made a huge impact on careers today. So much more can be accomplished in so little time. I am grateful for technology and I hope you are as well.
