Ultimate Typing Talks About Technology And The Essential Skills For The Future, eReflect Announces
New York City, NY (PRWEB) December 27, 2014 -- eReflect discusses the must-have tech skills people ought to master today in order to keep up with technological advances and developments in how people work, communicate, entertain, learn, and socialize with one another. eReflect, designer of learn to type software Ultimate Typing™, argues that technology is now and will continue to be an indispensable part of people’s lives. Its ubiquity is already obvious in every facet of daily life, and as technological advances are increasing ever faster, it has become even more imperative that people of all ages equip themselves with essential tech skills like touch typing and basic computer literacy.
The designer of one of the best typing programs on the market argues that advances in SMAC (the Social, Mobile, Analytics, and Cloud based society) have led to a decidedly tech-centered lifestyle where people live, share, connect, work, and create through Internet-enabled devices. As a result, skills like keyboarding are now seen as essential tech skills. Someone looking for work in a data entry job or other entry-level office position will find it hard to succeed if their touch typing method is limited to a hunt-and-peck keyboarding strategy. More efficient and accurate methods must be learned in order to compete in today's competitive market, and this can be achieved through well-structured, consistent practice enabled through typing software.
As eReflect notes in this recent blog post, “Students as early as the third grade are expected to take final exams on computers. Without basic and essential typing efficiency, these students can set up themselves up for failure, even if they’ve studied for their exams – if a student knows the answers, but can’t type them in fast enough, they’ll leave answers blank, and those blanks will translate into zeroes on their grade cards.”
Educators, education ministries, and parents need to take tech literacy more seriously. Instead of expecting children to learn how to touch type by themselves, or make coding an optional skill they can master in their spare time, these things should be added to the standard curriculum. Schools need to implement the teaching of these tech skills to help younger generations cope with the challenges of the tech-centered societies of tomorrow. eReflect, as the designer of Ultimate Typing™ EDU, a program that’s cloud based and specifically designed for the classroom, encourages parents and educators to consult Ultimate Typing™ software reviews online and see how touch typing can be part of each child's life through easy and fun practice.
