Technology, Simply Put

This Forbes article about understanding technology should be of particular interest to anyone who didn't grow up in the digital generation, aka your bedtime stories weren't read to you on a Kindle.

Susannah Breslin: Her Forbes Blog Is Gold

This is SB.

Susannah Breslin was a successful journalist with a television background, who got fired, got cancer and started freelancing. She blogs for Forbes now. Subscribing to her blog is not a bad idea.

Here's a taste via two of my faves:

1. "How To Sell Yourself"particularly hit home with me, as in my advertising life I sell other people's products -- with aplomb and gusto, I might add; however, when I am the product, I am hesitant.

2. I particularly like "Here's Why No One Wants To Help You" and it's page 2 follow-up, "How To Get People To Help You," because I have often found myself in convervations with other job-seekers wondering why we know so many people but no one wants to drop everything to help get us work.
