Survival in the computer generation

With every new computer related or online marketing skill I learn, I wonder... how does anyone survival with minimal computer knowledge? There is a whole generation of kids growing up using ipads at age 2. How can anyone expect to not become obsolete without advanced computer knowledge anymore? It seems like the order generation that did not learn to use a computer until later in life is either learning from their younger employees or having them do the computer skill jobs while they manage people the old fashioned way. If you're at the bottom of the latter with minimal computer knowledge, I'd watch my back if I were you. Unless you are able to manage someone with more skills than you, you are likely to fall behind fast.

It's true that you can't learn it all. That's why you generally have to eventually hire someone to help you do something that you don't have the time to learn yourself. But the truth is that you should always be looking to stay ahead of the rest and keep up on the latest and greatest technology just to keep up. 

I'm surprised where my career has lead me. I'm doing things now that no one had any clue about even teaching back when I was in college 8 years ago. A lot of what I learned in college is obsolete to a certain degree. I can't imagine where I'd be now if I haven't kept learning on my own. It's really never ending. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying college wasn't useful because it was a huge step into developing this learning process. Some of what I learned was from being around other people who taught me things I would have never learned if I hadn't been put in that situation among many other people who had a passion for learning. I do miss that about college actually. But alas, I spent my time there, moved on and now I've learned how to learn on my own through reaching online, reading marketing books, and real work experience.
