I am from a tech time of transistor radios and tied to a hallway phone...… Gee how technology changes in a moment !
NATIONAL TECHIES DAY
National Techies Day on October 3rd encourages students to consider a career in technology. With so many opportunities in the growing technology field, students seeking a career in technology will find promising choices anywhere they look.
In 2012, the Engine Advocacy commissioned a report by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute in California. According to the report, for every high-tech job, four more jobs are created. That’s a lot of economic boost created by one industry.
By 2030, the technology sector will continue to grow while other job sectors may decline. While the jobs future changes, one thing remains steady – technology. Healthcare technologies will continue growing by nearly 48 percent. While research ramps up, surgeons and medicine take advanced technologies to a whole new level. With it, they need software specialists trained to maintain the equipment and train the medical personnel.
Beyond medical technology, manufacturing advances technology every day. When considering the future of the automotive world alone, specialized technology keeps up the demand for qualified professionals.
Software development grows every day. However, if we examine technology’s impact on manufacturing, security, and global environmental solutions, we can’t expect to ignore our future needs. The students in the classroom will be the skilled, trained technology-savvy employees of tomorrow. We need them to be.
Take note that National Techies Day falls during National Cyber Security Awareness Month.
Techies ensure our devices are protected and secured. They develop the software and help us maintain our computers, smart devices and more. If you don’t protect your computers – find a techie today!
HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalTechiesDay
Host a job fair at a high school. Share your experiences with technology. Inspire a student to learn more. Encourage an interest in technology where a spark exists. Thank a techie by taking them out to lunch. Learn more about new innovative technologies changing the world. Use #NationalTechiesDay to post on social media.
NATIONAL TECHIES DAY HISTORY
With a growing need for employees with advanced technical skills in America, Techies.com and CNT Networks launched National Techies Day. In 1999, nearly 60% of new jobs were expected to require advanced technical skills that Americans didn’t have. The tech companies and the day encourage kids to embrace computer science and even the monikers sometimes attached to contemporary technology.
Being a computer nerd or geek, like National Day Calendar’s own Guru of Geek, in the fast-growing world of technology opens doors to career opportunities.

Our phone in the 60's was party lined with two other houses, you could hear them on the line as you talked, lessening to what was being said, and the phone number's were only four numbers then.

I helped to create National Techies Day back in 1999 to celebrate the great things that technology pro's do.
Thank you, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for posting the music video of Sugarloaf performing "don't call us, we'll call you" in honor of National Techies Day.
Yesterday as I was riding with the wrecker driver taking the RAV4 to be repaired [Ranson, WV to Leesburg, VA] he received two phone calls on his business cell phone from scammers trying to get him to divulge personal information. He told me that once he was in front of a police station and got a phone call from somebody threatening that a warrant was being issued in his name unless … He asked is that x city or Jefferson County and he mentioned that policemen from those districts were next to him and he named them. The caller hung up. :-)
I would be surprised at all if some techie classes have nefarious such as scamming, penetration of secure networks, spoofing and trolling anonymously especially in institutions that are run by radical progressives.

Make's one wonder if they didn't learn this in school. Which I am sure is more closer to the truth LTC Stephen F. .

I am from a time even further back, we had a battery powered radio an Atwater Kent as I recall, had a wall phone but the "number" was a certain series of "rings", EG, 3 shorts and a long, and it was definitely a party line.
