Are you Technology Minded or Gifted?

[Klydo]

I've always had this problem going through education in various situations. When it comes to computing I generally find I can do anything I choose too however if someone asked me to name and describe what I had just done I would be stumped.

So this is what I'm asking;

Are you technology...

Minded - where you can name and describe basically everything that a computer or product does, yet struggle to actually put it into practice.

Gifted - where you can do anything required but as soon as someone asks you to name or describe a piece of the computer or it's functions you freeze up.

[Elasticated]

neither

I think I'm a bit of both, sometimes If someone asks me how to do something I'm like. I can't do it without being in-front of the screen or seeing screen shots. Other times I can do just do it straight away by saying how to. Strange, I guess? But thats where remote desktop comes into it these days.

It's all a matter of opinion really, but both i suppose.

[GommeInc]

Gifted, but not too gifted. I understand some parts, but not aload of others. On a subject that is technology wise, like photography I am a bit of both. I can lecture on the parts of a camera, but can't decribe how I got a certain shot (other than this speed, that size etc) when it comes out with an effect.

[Recursion]

Both for me.

[cocaine]

gifted, im crap at thinking for names

[Hayd93]

Bit of both. Stuff like rigging up audio setups i can do easy but when asked how i did i find it hard to explain. But then sometimes somebody will phone me asking how to do something and i can telll them what to do easy.

Bit of both, mainly gifted, my parents think I'm autistic cos I know a hell of alot.

[Agnostic Bear]

Both, easy as hell for me.

[Blob]

Turns out im slightly autistic.

[DarrenToogood]

I am both really, can do and put into practise anything.

I do have a SEN, which tends to give me a focused area of interest, mine being computers.

[Independent]

Both for me, but around half gifted.

[Interstudios]

Both really.

[Josh-H]

Bit if both for me

[Technologic]

hardware i know basically everything about but software is just a big EH for me

[Flisker]

bit of both tbh

[timROGERS]

I'm both, probably more to the gifted side though.

[Hiro]

Both, and it scares me that I know more than just about all the PC World staff near me.

[Andys]

Niether.

[ToxicPaddy]

I'm technologically gifted. If someone asks me to do something on a computer for them, and there's people watching, I feel the pressure and cannot do it! Also, if someone is watching me typing, I seem to go slower and make my typing skills look bad :P

[FlyingJesus]

Err gifted I guess. I can make computers work and whatnot and I spend a lot of time on them, but I'm not into coding and the makeup of computers or anything like that. Couldn't care less why it works as long as it does. I'm quite good at knowing shortcuts of how to do things or sort certain problems, but again I don't learn about it or anything.

[Jahova]

Both, I grew up with a pc in my room and I am very good with them.

[Decode]

Im not sure, im good at things like PHP, but i have no idea when it comes to what graphics card to buy or anything like that. :P

[DaveTaylor]

me is both :)
