I love technology and all the toys I get to play with because of it, from extropian and transhuman to Futurama and the heads in jars (are people still just cryogenically freezing their heads? HELLO!! YOU HAVE A BODY AS WELL, and the head is not going to work without it).
A little over ten years ago I was working for what is arguably the most prestigious art college in the world (I say arguably as there’s a US college that likes to think it is) and part of what I was doing was finding people to come in and do I.T. training. At some point we agreed that we just couldn’t find the people to do the job in the way we wanted the job done. So as I had the technical skills I went out to find some training that would get me to be ok about standing up in front of groups. I found NLP, which led me to hypnosis, and then to the Mythogenic Self process. Now I spend most of my time standing in front of groups 
In other words I’ve spent a LOT of time helping non-technical people to do technical stuff. And what makes the difference in successfully doing this is not better technology, even though I may like Apple’s Keynote software more than Microsoft’s PowerPoint. It’s not the NLP techniques and tricks. It is the ability to drop away the artificial, the barriers that prevent connection, to be transparent that really makes the difference.
I’m one of the few (the majority have fallen for the NLP trick of: “we can do it faster”) who can hear Obi Wan’s voice saying to Luke: “Just let go, trust your feelings”… (Important note: by that time they were educated or trained feelings).
