So what are the new skills? #2

I just recently shared the first in what was to be a series, but now is finally a series again.

So What are the New Skills #1

Now on to number two...

So current day, what are the new skills, the ones everyone is supposed to have, should have, or would be embarrassed not to have?  What skills would they want on a new job, in everyday life, or in an emergency?  Remember we are talking technical slash computer skills.

To keep it brief and to promote reading this blog all the way through (no skimming), I am providing a bulleted list for your personal safety and enjoyment.

• You can install your own software AND read the install screens to avoid those annoying browser spy bars (toolbars) and other trash-ware crap.
• You use keyboard short cuts and or anything to help you get things done faster 
• You understand that if a button pops up while on the internet and says "CLICK ME" that you by all means should NOT click it

Ok, my snarky self is getting in the way, here is the "non-snark" list:

• You are adept and productive in Microsoft Office and other Microsoft products 
• Keyboard shortcuts, you know at least 6 of them
• You Google things to find answers because its faster than asking someone
•  You know the difference between the four main browsers.  
• You can name the four main browsers.
• You understand social media and use it correctly 
• You have proper web Etiquette. REALLY (see I yelled)
• You can fix your own computer problems, well at least 60% of them
• You can use technology seamlessly from desk, mobile, car, and tablet.

There it is... and if you are reading my blog, you can either hear me preaching to the choir or something like that.
