Part 2 of Core 1

Asking someone where they want to go with technology in the work place is a broad question to ask. With technology, you could go a million different ways. That is the great thing about it. My goal in life is to ultimately become an event planner for a major company. With this goal in mind, I would be using a ton of technologies to help me succeed. For one, I would absolutely have to have either a Blackberry or Iphone because my work would need to be with me wherever I traveled. I also would use the Blackberry or Iphone to be accessible at all times. Another important obvious asset would be a computer that would be needed for many different things including research and to use programs such as Microsoft Excel to plan out costs for events. A headset would be essential for the actual event to be able to be in touch with anyone quickly. Depending on the actual event, I would need huge amounts of technology such as a projector, lighting, sound, etc. The list could go on forever!

In order to obtain this goal of becoming an event planner and being able to work with all these technologies, I need to begin looking into these different technologies and how they are beneficial to my job. Other than that, once I am working, I would need to make sure I knew how to use each of these items to make my job a success! The good part is that technology is changing every day and there will most likely be new skills for me to learn over the next four years to better prepare me for my job.
