Fearing tech isn’t the answer

0337 – Fearing tech isn’t the answer.jpg

We all need to use tech in our lives, whether for work or personal use. Even though many fear using technology altogether, some fear using it due to the wrong choice rather than the tech itself.

There are many people out there that don't like tech. They don't like using it. They don't like doing anything with it. However, they do have to use it because it's just the way it is nowadays.

Every company you go to, every kind of job you do, you're using some sort of technology, some sort of tech.

And obviously, my audience, coaches consultants, people who use Macs and stuff, they generally fear, how do I put this?

They don't necessarily fear tech because they need to use it and they're happy using it.

But in Holland they call it a digi-beta, a digi-beat or something, which means that they're useless with tech and they just don't want to use it, but they have to use it.

But that's no different to people who do know how to use computers and phones and so on.

But they just don't have an idea of what tech software apps that, they need to use in their business for their work, for their pleasure, I guess, or whatever, which web browsers to use, which email app to use.

There are lots of email apps. There's lots of browsers. I side with caution in the apps and tools that I use. I'm very privacy focused. I'm very security focused. I'm very careful as to what I put on my computer.

Many aren't because they hear, let me use Google Chrome and they'll use it.

But talking about privacy and security, Google Chrome is the worst. Many will say not, but I just wouldn't use it. Use Brave if you want to use Chrome. Use Firefox. Now, Firefox have issues as well.

But to be honest, Brave is probably the best one, then Safari and so on.

Now, they're not the best browsers. I get it,  there are better browsers, but they're the ones that are best for your security. They're the ones that are best for your everyday use.

What are you doing with a freaking browser? You're just looking at websites. What else do you need to do?

Again, you don't need to use all the features.

There's opera. There's so many browsers that do so many things.

You just need a web browser for good sake. You don't need it to do anything else.

So again, choosing the right tools. without fearing. I mean, how can I put it? Like, people basically fear using the tools and you shouldn't fear using them.

There are people that can help you with choosing the right tools, but don't fear using the tools, fear choosing the wrong tools.

That's probably the best way to put it.

Anyway, enjoy your day and I will see you in the next one.

Ciao.
