She well into her 50\u2019s and had spent a lot of years as an Executive Assistant taking shorthand notes, and typing up the boss\u2019s yellow notepad scribbles and turning them into staff reports. But when the PC came around, Marilyn made up her mind to conquer this new and strange world.\u00a0 And she did.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty years later, Marilyn is happily retired and I\u2019m now thinking about my own transitions and adaptation to the virtual world in which we live.\u00a0\u00a0 Technological relevance is going to be important in the second half of my career, and just like Marilyn chose to adjust, I am making that same choice.\u00a0 Arguably the impact of technology that we are experiencing today is much game-changing than the PC ever was. So tech relevance is not an option going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Staying tech relevant for me means embracing new tools. \u00a0It does not mean becoming a tech expert; it means using tech in practical real-world ways. \u00a0For example, about 4 years ago I decided to give Twitter a try, and at first I honestly didn\u2019t see the point. Now Twitter is one of my favorite ways to get the news, because it\u2019s so real time. \u00a0Like most people have a smartphone, and an iPad, and I\u2019m using different apps like Facebook, Evernote, MyFitnessPal, and Pinterest.<\/p>\n<p>Just diving into these apps and incorporating them into my daily life has workplace applications, because these are many of the same tools that our public agencies are using.\u00a0 After all, our agencies have to maintain tech relevance, too.<\/p>\n<p>My city has just started using Nextdoor, the private social network for neighborhoods, as another way to push out information and hear from residents.\u00a0 It\u2019s something totally new that we\u2019ve never done before, but we\u2019re stepping out and embracing it.<\/p>\n<p>The world is different and I have to be different, too.\u00a0 Residents don\u2019t come to City Hall; they text, use our mobile apps, post on our Facebook page, and, if they\u2019re over 40, they still email.\u00a0 Tech relevance is not optional for those of us who want to succeed and grow in our public sector careers.<\/p>\n<p>Share your strategies with me for staying tech relevant!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the early 90\u2019s, the PC was making its way into city halls, replacing our IBM Selectrics and impossible-to-understand DOS systems with this big color screen and the mighty mouse.\u00a0 Like most Gen X\u2019ers I was pretty excited to jump in and figure out how to use Word, and Excel, and all the other new [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":928,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,11],"tags":[41,35,39],"class_list":["post-927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-innovations","category-social-media-tips","tag-career-advice-2","tag-government-trends","tag-innovations-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
