Journalism and Technology

Intimidated by technology?
It seems that in todays world of iPhones and Google, acknowledging the fast changing world of technology should be a given for anyone seriously pursuing a career in the professional world. Technology companies make the tools that make work easier, smarter and more efficient for workers of all types. Taking advantage of these tools in creative ways can give you a competitive edge. It is a little disheartening to see that my peers who are getting into journalism may not be embracing these technologies as they should. PBS has a great series of articles called "Beyond J-School", which highlight the myriad of ways the field of journalism is changing due to the influence of the internet and other associated technologies. One of the articles deals with computer illiteracy for incoming students. This quote made me a little sad -
"In a time and age when many of my generation assume the younger generation understands technology, I have been surprised by the number of students who walk into my class and announce that they "don't know anything about computers."
