Technologically Inept

Today at work is the managers meeting with the executives; where they discuss the company over the year, make sure everyone understands what is needed and expected, as well as answer any ones concerns with the store they run. Every year they have the newest store manager give a lecture on a topic. Now I know you are saying "what does this have to do with being Technologically inept?" Glad you asked!!! This is where the Inept part of Intermountain Concrete comes into play.
So the manager that was up to lecture wanted to play a YouTube video from a Ken Schmidt (a visionary & former communication director for Harley Davidson). Anyway, my company is just getting pasted the ribbon tape printers. So they started off setting up a portable computer (not laptop.... a computer!). It didn't work because it had no sound, no Internet access to get YouTube.
They tried a laptop but there is no Wi-Fi in our company.
It was a mess. Finally, they came to me. I tried everything I could. I tried to email it from my galaxy phone to email. That got blocked by the firewall on our system. So I tried to get it on my own laptop through our neighbors Wi-Fi signal, I needed their password ran over to their building to find it closed and locked. No luck there. I suggested that the manager could run to McDonald's parking lot use their free Wi-Fi and download it really quick. He looked at me like I have no idea what you are saying to do. I couldn't go so I gave up on that idea. I tried to use a Thumb drive to download it onto and hook up to another laptop- but our only PC tower couldn't read the thumb drive. Oh what a mess it was. And for some reason my responsibility to find a way to get this video.
Finally, with minutes before having to leave for work, I just pulled it up on my phone and had them play it from there. Oh isn't technology great! They had to watch and listen to a small touch screen phone. At least it worked. I went to school without a phone, which was like losing my left arm. Its sad that a company isn't up a little more on technology, let alone how to use it. Good things I am around and call the technology guru (and I know barley enough to get around). But I have to remember its a concrete company. Gotta love the old school way of running things. At least the web can be found on the phone.
