Being tech-wise for now is considered the COOLEST thing to be after being an algebra nerd. Why? Everything gets pretty innovative everyday. Take that new rotunda as an example. It used to be an area where we place our bags and scatter ourselves around the school and wait for our bus to honk for us. But now, it’s now a hub where the availability of those computers and wireless fidelity are up-to-date. We get to enjoy those megabytes while chatting our heads off. But how can you be the tech-guru you want to be?


GET READY FOR CHANGE- Look, that doesn’t mean that you have to take exaggeration as an option. Some of those tech-nerds are not actually the nerd you are probably complying with your whole life. Yes, forget the fake glasses and the suspenders. All you have to change is your view about technology and its concepts that make it so darn boring.

FIND SOME REFERENCES- No, you don’t have to search for technology in some old library ( but if you insist so, then go for it.)! You just have to walk your way down to that 7-Eleven store and get some magazines like t3 (even if you could mistake it as an FHM), stuff, or gadgets. These magazines will somehow give you knowledge about the latest cell phones, iPod’s, digicams, and a whole lot more gadgets you’d never thought that will be invented or available locally.

ASK THOSE TECH-GURUS THEMSELVES-It’s like the usual assignment for a particular subject where you have to interview/ask someone about something. But instead, you get to do this assignment of your own subject about technology and, have it your own special way! You can ask a tech-guru something about the meaning of such acronyms you’ve been curious for your whole life. You can also ask him if he has any views or a special opinion that has to do with the innovation issues we are having.

APPRECIATE TECHNOLOGY ITSELF! – Lastly, you can never like anything without appreciating it first. Technology is something that needs much appreciating other than God’s creations. It helps us to do such things/chores/school works quite easily than the usual routine. All I’m saying is: You’ll definitely lose that sweat with my friend technology here.


Being tech-savvy is a real option. It’s like getting abused by such attachments in your life. It’s your decision to be the smarty-pants you have to be in the fun-filled field of technology. So, if you followed all those things above, good job! Now your next step is to answer your classmates’ grueling questions about everything you have learned and…….Get Tech’d!
