Waves of Change.

I started a sample google sites page to see how easy it might be for my clients who are looking for a way to increase their web presence or to have an e-portfolio. 

I chose a template with the image of a wave, as think it represents both change and the challenge of unemployment.

Our lives move along smoothly like the ocean gravitates to the shore, when suddenly changes in elevation, reefs or rocks interrupt the momentum. Waves swell, brake and break. Some people get caught in the undertow, some tumble for a while but then skim along the barrel, and some catch the wave and ride it in.


Unemployment is the same. If you can adapt and follow the flow, it can be exciting. If you try to stay where you are, it can crush you.

The internet is growing and changing so fast, it can’t be plotted and charted as if it was something stable. Within the water analogy, it is the rapids – boiling with energy, changing direction, swirling, constantly moving and creating energy.

Today, you need to be not only computer literate, but comfortable with the online interactive world and able to navigate those rapids. I will point out some tools and approaches that can help you stay afloat.

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn."


~ Alvin Toffler (Author of The Third Wave)
