$subject of the topic might not be new to anyone reading this blog post. But it might be new to know that not all Technology Savvy people use the internet or surf websites as frequently as the end users do. i.e. The people who build the technology use it less than the consumers. One can find this statement dangerous as well as loosely coupled, since I don’t have any statistical data to prove it, but I think it is the fact. I have been in this industry for more than five years now, but earlier I have never been involved with the social networks, like orkut, twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr, Myspace, YouTube, etc or blogs even, over the internet as frequently as I am using now. I know there are faces around, who take the advantage of the internet and the facilities less than what actual consumers do with respect to social networks. Why is that?
What are the reasons, many tech savvy people use social networking websites less than the end users?
- introvert or don’t want to open thyself to the world (can’t help with)
- not good at writing (that doesn’t mean you should not do it. you will learn it eventually)
- not enough content or ideas to write (start with something, you will get it automatically as I do)
- not enough time (I don’t agree with it. If executives, celebrities, or the biggies can find time to do it, why can’t you?)
- don’t like it (no force, but you will like once you get involved with it)
- what to write? (read what others are writing, will help you to understand the trend)
- what to surf? (once you are connected to the social networks, eventually you will start getting updates about the latest technologies or happenings in the world)
There will be various other reasons of not getting involved in the social networks over the internet techies will have. Post them here and get the answers.
Thanks!
