I Don't Need Computer Training

I sometimes hear the comment: "I don't need computer training, what do I need a computer for?"  I ask them if they want to keep their job or advance in their employment or if they want to keep in touch with friends and family.  Then they start to get a glimpse of what computer training can do for them.

Computers are becoming a great part of what we do in our daily lives.  Try looking through the employment section of your local newspaper and see how many ads ask for basic computer skills.  If you are a senior, then you know your kids and grand children are literally plugged into their computers.  Getting a hold of them and staying in contact will involve using some sort of computer.

So a short and sweet answer to the question is this: technology is changing the way we work and communicate.  Neglecting to keep up will put you on the outside.  Time to rethink your view of the computer if you do not think it is important to you.
