Not everyone finds technology intriguing.  There are many individuals that find using a new piece of electronic equipment intimidating.  It is not just a particular generation that stands back from the new iphone.  Often women hesitate to put their hands out and they defer to the men.  Some teams have established leaders in the workplace.  In many of my team building games, I want everyone to have the same status.  Inviting participants to enter into this learning experience in a group setting is a great opportunity to give them a positive experience with new technology.  It is important to manage the event so that savvy GPS users are not the only ones that come forward to handle the directions.  I create a fun atmosphere where the focus is on a goal other than the GPS units. As a group they must overcome a particular challenge and I emphasize that the directions make using a GPS new for everyone.

Can-You-Find-It challenges allow people to leave the event with an interest in the equipment beyond our use.  I expect them to have confidence in themselves and each other by overcoming problem solving activiies and working together.  Wwe notice that the next generation is unafraid to try new software or computer programs.  They are always ready to figure out how it works and are unafraid of making a mistake.  We can learn a lot from them.
