My Technology Toolkit…Oh, how empty you are

So before I took this New Media studies class I was completely and utterly under the impression that while I’m no tech geek I could hold my own. Boy was I wrong. As it turns out I have very limited technology skills. My technology toolkit is so sparse and in desperate need of a toolkit upgrade to gain a basic knowledge of all of the latest computer/web gadgets.

My current technology toolkit includes a basic working knowledge of social networking sites (i.e. how to update my status), Microsoft Office Suite although only a very basic knowledge of Excel, how to print things, a lot of the command shortcuts (that I must say a lot of people don’t know these so I feel like it can go on the list, and a basic knowledge of video editing (I know all of these don’t really count but I have to have something in my toolkit)
As for what is to come in the near future I hope my upcoming toolkit will consist of xhtml, CSS, scripting, some knowledge of graphic formats, and some photoshop knowledge.

Lastly as for future aspirations of what I want flourishing in my toolkit a great grasp and knowledge of photoshop and other aspects of design, excelling in xhtml and CSS, and multimedia. While I know that acquiring these skills will take work and patience on my part I am excited to embark on this new learning experience and really try my hand with these different tools.
