If you’re looking to advance your career, it’s a good idea to build a network of contacts. And if you’re hoping to build an effective network, the first step is connecting with key influencers in your field. Influencers can help introduce you to new opportunities, share resources that will help you advance professionally and even provide mentorship or guidance for your own professional development.

But there are some simple strategies that will help make your efforts more successful. The key is finding ways to connect with relevant influencers while also understanding what makes them tick so they’ll want to hear from you again!

Connections are the cornerstones of a network.

Connections are the cornerstones of a network. They are the foundation, building blocks and key to a successful network.

Connections are what make up your network; they’re the people you know, who know other people and so on – as long as there’s someone else in between each connection!

Find and connect to key influencers in your field.

Now that you know how to find the right people, it’s time to connect with them. The best way to do this is by finding people who are interested in what you have to offer. Make sure that your content aligns with their interests and/or needs (e.g., “I’m looking for a new job” vs “I am an experienced developer”) so they will be more likely to engage with you and follow up on any connections made during the conversation.

While it may seem obvious, it is important not only to connect with those who are similar in background but also those who have similar levels of experience …

They will be more willing to help if they know who you are and what value they can get from helping you. If there’s no connection between them and yourself then it may be difficult for them to say yes when asked for assistance or advice later on down the line.

Networking is a critical aspect of a successful career.

Networking is a critical aspect of a successful career. It’s important to build relationships with people who can help you grow your business and learn more about your industry.

It’s also an excellent opportunity for you to find out more about what other people do in their jobs, which can give you valuable insight into what type of work might be right for you or even spark ideas for new projects that could benefit both parties involved.

It’s better to meet people in person than online.

It’s better to meet people in person than online.

It can be hard for some people to get out there and meet new people, but it’s worth it! The best way to get better at networking is by doing it more often. The more times that you go out and talk with people, the easier it will become for you over time. If your goal is just to meet new friends or make some extra cash from side gigs like Uber driving or selling things on Craigslist, then all this advice might not apply as much since those activities don’t require much interaction with other humans (although I highly recommend taking advantage of these opportunities!).

But if your goal is career advancement or professional development…then read on!

Attend events and conferences.

Build Your Own Computer – Make the Right Choice

Before building a new computer, you have to decide what to use it for. This will allow you to allocate your budget to buy special equipment where needed. For example, if you plan to play a lot of games, you will need a powerful graphics card, lots of memory, a large hard drive, and a special controller. If the computer is going to be used for word processing and surfing the net, your graphics card doesn’t need to be so powerful and you won’t need as much storage capacity as graphics.

Computers built for special purposes such as video editing and sound recording have there owned particular requirements in the form of add-on cards to process midi files, graphics and sound. These cards usually mean a top of the line computer to handle special requirements of the CPU or motherboard.

Re-using Old Parts?

Can you salvage parts from the old machine? This depends mainly on its age. If it is more than five years old you would probably be better using all new components. Wear and tear on the computer components and the advancements in computer technology do nor warrant using old parts.

Floppy disks are almost at the point of obsolescence, but you may need one occasionally. Better still copy and transfer all of your floppies to CD format.

If you have a computer that is less than two years old, there may be components that can be used on your new machine. Maybe the hard drive can be installed as a secondary drive and a CD player or DVD player might be suitable for your needs.

You better buy a new one. It’s usually not a good idea to reuse a motherboard, CPU, or memory. All of these components are continuously enhanced If you can find a computer …

Children’s Computers – A Tool to Consider in the Computer Age

The computer era has dawned. Going forward a strong technological skill set and knowledge base will be mandatory in both business and leisure. A weak or limited aptitude in technology will limit options available to everyone young and old. Not only will a lack of computer knowledge prove to be a burden in obtaining employment but it will hamper ones ability to research properly, network efficiently and maximize use of limited time constraints. Many parents, therefore, are encouraging their children as early as possible to get acquainted technology via a children’s computer.

Children's Computers - A Tool to Consider in the Computer Age

Still, in spite of the widely evident and much anticipated on-going need for children to develop proficiency with regard to computer literacy, many parents still have reservations about the children’s computer. This reaction is quite normal considering the extreme gap that exists between the two generations with regard to technology. Many parents today had limited if any, exposure to modern day technology and certainly not to the degree available today. Many saw a computer as tool used in their place of employment or gadget for entertainment. A children’s computer to them may seem akin to a children’s telephone or a children’s VCR or DVD player. Nice, but not particularly essential to a child’s development. Other parents have the same reservations about a children’s computer that their parents had about the Television: it is a device that will hamper learning and decrease attention. Still others worry about the dangers that exist on the internet in light of the heightened awareness of predators and sites with

explicit content. While some of the fears are legitimate and concerns are well founded,they should not be allowed to eclipse the benefits of training children to be computer literate at an early age.

Those parents wishing to encourage their children to explore …
