I'm a bit of a dinosaur.
I used to be on the cutting edge of technology, but these days, I seem to be on the bleeding edge, and it's my blood that's dripping out there.
I used to be the guy in the office who had a handle on all the new tech that showed up to help us handle real estate better and better. I was one of the first adopters of the new MLS software, which was graphic and colourful, and there were lots of folks in our office who came to me for advice.
I used to be one of the few in the office that understood how to use the new phone system, and all the intricacies that came with it. Our office manager used to send people to me to answer phone questions, as I was one of the few who kept (and understood) the manuals.
These days, the tech is coming at us fast and furious. Customer Management Software... Newsletter software... digital dashboards for all of our listings, etc... we even order our signage online. I can't keep track of all of the passwords... "Sexy" no longer works on all of my sites... they have to be a minimum of 8 characters, and they have to have one Capital letter, one number and one strange character... (I thought that I was the strange character).
I'm falling behind, and feeling a little like a T-Rex stuck in a tar pit.
