Don’t Shut Down ~ Re-Start & Re-Boot So You Can Network...

With all of the options made available for anyone and everyone to effectively and consistently network, there is no longer a good excuse for us to not be able to make quick connections and contacts with individuals, groups, and organizations we need to reach out to.
We can also access information and other kinds of data at a very rapid speed, which is just the way many people living and functioning in the 21st Century like it.
Although snail mail, faxes, and handwritten notes are still used and even recommended in some cases; networks on the World Wide Web (which is accessed through the Internet) have most certainly become the order of the day during modern times.
Between work, school, community service volunteer or charitable activities, family gatherings and vacations, extra-curricular activities, appointments, and other “schedule grabbers;” many citizens around the globe have come to rely heavily on the Internet to help out with our sometimes over-scheduled lives.
But, as rushed and busy as a good number of folks are; we still have to remain diligent about and cognizant of the fact that the Internet will do for us only as much as we allow it to.
In other words, the time we spend getting to understand and practice the tremendous magnitude of just some of the perhaps millions or billions of things the World Wide Web (a.k.a. the Internet) can really do; will help determine just how effective our individual networking and computer skills can be nurtured to become.
And, just how effective those networking and computer skills become will generally drive how effectively and quickly we are empowered to affect real and targeted change of some kind – all the while keeping in mind the “real-time” fact that Internet changes and upgrades seem to be occurring every day, if not every minute.
It’s no wonder that the more Internet knowledge someone acquires, the more the person may begin to feel like “the hamster on the wheel,” which eventually becomes tired and shuts down from running.
This experience alone causes some Internet networkers to “shut down” or quit the race, while others may feel somewhat “hyper-motivated” to remain “hyper-linked” to the Net; perhaps even spending time to “browse around” to find out what led to the “near shutdown.”
However, all who are fervent Internet users eventually have to slow down long enough to admit that there will always be a fast-moving learning curve during our acquisition of “e-knowledge.”
Thankfully, once this very brief downtime has ended and we speed back up to catch up with the needs of our committed schedules; the faithful Internet awaits us with embracing “world-wide-web-arms” to pull us back into portions of its capability we may already have mastered.
Also awaiting us is undoubtedly another good heap of new learning for us to run after, access, acquire, and become “e-exhausted” by.
That is, before the next brief downtime kicks in and the cycle re-starts.
