Preface

Our lives today are surrounded by technology; although very often, we dont recognize this consciously. There are both positive and negative aspects of this. On one hand, technology touches our lives in such a natural manner that we quickly adapt to it and then start taking it for granted. Mass technology of current times is often so intuitive that we can use it without having to deal with the complexity behind it. This can be easily illustrated with the example of a telephone; we dont need to understand telecommunication engineering to be able to use a phone. The downside to this is that we assume that everyone understands how to use these technological innovations. But this assumption often turns out to be a wrong one.

Most technical innovations are built on top of one another, using previous innovations as building blocks and utilizing similar patterns. For example, if you are comfortable with one social media website, you can learn to use another one by exploring and drawing parallels between them. But learning to use the first social media website may require you to understand some basic concepts related to social networking first. Often, a lack of knowledge on these building blocks and patterns becomes a stumbling block in learning how to use newer innovations. The rate at which technology is evolving and gaining mass adoption today is much faster than it was a few decades ago. Hence, it has also become important to learn quickly to keep pace with technology.
