Ever "Convert" Someone?
Posted by Jon Westfall in "THOUGHT" @ 05:00 AM
Ah, Sunday Morning at PPCT. A time to kick back, relax, talk about our lives and sound off. So, with today being Sunday, let's discuss peer pressure, persuasion, and implanting our technological values on others!
You've all had the skeptical friend at one time or another who insists that they don't need one of those new fangled gadgets you have. First it was the pager with my friend Mr. X - he said he'd never need to have one. Then about a year later, he got one. Then the cell phone, and now apparently the Pocket PC. What made him decide to switch... well, that's a story for a different day. The question I ask is - have you ever convinced someone to switch or adopt a device? It doesn't have to be a PPC (Although that would be a great story) - it could be anything. Tell your story and join the ranks of the technology evangelist!
