Are you Tech Savvy?
Having an engineering degree or background might qualify you as one. But I know many who only got the degree but can’t even explain away the difference between LCD and Plasma TVs, or between 2G and 3G cell phones. I know most kids are, bordering on the nerd types. Not the one who spend the whole day playing games, but those who dismantle their toys and their dad’s cell phones.
Having the latest mobile gadgets, be it mp3 players or cell phones, won’t say much unless you have some working understanding of the technologies operating behind them. And there are many. If you’re into mp3 music listening on the road, do you understand where those mp3 files came from and the different audio file codecs?
If you can navigate around your new touchscreen cell phones, do you understand the technologies behind it, like WiFi, capacitive touchscreen, Bluetooth, etc. If you do, then you’re tech savvy alright. If you just enjoy using them without checking the internet for what it means to have wireless data transfer, you’re not. And we’re just talking about consumer electronics here.
