You take What You Know For Granted

3 replies
Warriors you take for granted how much you know and how much youi can do online. I volunteer on a help line for a non-profit and there are people out there who know nothing about this Amazing Technology that we take for granted.

People don't know what a modem is or how it helps to get them on the Internet. They think they have wireless only because they have a modem in the house. They don't think they need to be connected - they don't have a card or a router and they wonder why they can't access the Internet.

It is amazing and a little disheartening that even the college kids who volunteer don't seem to understand or know anything about technology. I am always a little perturbed that these kids who are raised in a technologically advanced society don't know how to use their tools.

    Yep, we are ahead of the game in many, many ways.

    A couple of my friends ain't even online, the thought scares them.

    On the other hand, those who are online and are dedicated to learning this technology are the teachers of tomorrow.. and in a lot of cases, the teachers of today.

    And with that comes great profit.

    I think it's like this in all professions?

    Like a surgeon will think of your operations as a simple task, while you may get paranoid on whatever can go wrong with it.

    I think this is why info ebooks are such a great way to make easy money on the net. We all have our expertise, and there is always someone willing to pay for it.

    Case in point:

    I recently had a bloke come round to quote on building a carport for us. We got to talking, and it turns out he's interested in making money selling stuff on the internet, but he has no idea what to sell.

    So I told him: write an ebook about how to build carports. Seriously, people would buy it. Dealing with council plans, how that all works, where to source quality wood from at good prices, etc. etc.

    I'd buy it!

    (And if anyone goes and write this ebook, I demand royalties )

    We all have our areas of expertise.....

    cheers
