SYNERGY & ICON

by Marion Garrett

 

The reason computer users need to belong to a computer users’ group can be summed up in one word: SYNERGY, derived from the Latin-Greek word "sunergen" (work together). Example : Geese flying in formation can travel 72 percent farther than if they flew on their own.

I think most of us can remember the radio and early TV show "Death Valley Days" sponsored by the Borox Company.  The Borox Company coined the word "synergy" to represent the results of their study on how to move their product to market the cheapest way using a much different team combination. The result was that a team of 20 mules could out-perform all other team combinations.

In ICON, we benefit by working together as a team.  Whenever we are stumped or need help, there are those present who can either answer our question or show us how to find the answer. Everyone learns, even the most skilled learn by the group study.

The incentive for the experienced computer instructor is that they learn by teaching. A teacher always learns things about their subject as they prepare the lesson, because they do not want to look like an idiot.  Nonetheless, the teacher does know how to find the answer, or somebody in the class may provide the information to answer the question.  No doubt, teaching is by far the best way for experienced users to learn more about computers.

There is no other place you can receive computer training at such a low price. In addition, look at the fun you have meeting new people and sharing your ideas with them.
