OCTOBER 3 National Techies Day | October 3 NATIONAL TECHIES DAY | OCTOBER 3 National Techies Day on October 3rd encourages students to consider a career in technology. With so many opportunities in the growing technology field, students seeking a career in technology will find promising choices anywhere they look. #NATIONALTECHIESDAY In 2012, Engine Advocacy commissioned a report by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute in California. According to the report, for every high-tech job, four more jobs are created. That’s a lot of economic boost created by one industry. By 2030, the technology sector will continue to grow while other job sectors may decline. While the jobs future changes, one thing remains steady – technology. Healthcare technologies will continue growing by nearly 48 percent. While research ramps up, surgeons and medicine take advanced technologies to a whole new level. With it, they need software specialists trained to maintain the equipment and train the medical personnel. Beyond medical technology, manufacturing advances technology every day. When considering the future of the automotive world alone, specialized technology keeps up the demand for qualified professionals. Advertisement Software development grows every day. However, if we examine technology’s impact on manufacturing, security, and global environmental solutions, we can’t ignore our future needs. The students in the classroom will be the skilled, trained technology-savvy employees of tomorrow. We need them to be. Take note that National Techies Day falls during National Cyber Security Awareness Month. Techies ensure our devices are protected and secured. They develop the software and help us maintain our computers, smart devices, and more. If you don’t protect your computers – find a techie today! HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL TECHIES DAY National Techies Day offers numerous ways to celebrate. Beyond thanking all the techies you know, consider these ways to join in the celebration: * Host a job fair at a high school. * Share your experiences with technology. Inspire a student to learn more. * Encourage an interest in technology where a spark exists. * Learn more about new innovative technologies changing the world. Use #NationalTechiesDay to post on social media. Advertisement NATIONAL TECHIES DAY HISTORY With a growing need for employees with advanced technical skills in America, Techies.com and CNT Networks launched National Techies Day. In 1999, nearly 60% of new jobs were expected to require advanced technical skills that Americans didn’t have. The tech companies and the day encourage kids to embrace computer science and even the monikers sometimes attached to contemporary technology. Being a computer nerd or geek, like National Day Calendar’s own Guru of Geek, in the fast-growing world of technology opens doors to career opportunities. OCTOBER 3RD CELEBRATED HISTORY 1899 Thomas S. Thurman receives a patent for a “Pneumatic carpet cleaner” under patent No. 634,042. The device blew debris into a receptacle. Thurman designed the horse-drawn contraption to go door to door offering cleaning services. About two years later, the first patents for cleaners similar to the ones we used today were invented. They used suction to remove dust and dirt. Advertisement 1911 The Corn Products Refining Company trademarks the term “Mazola” for their edible corn oil. The trademark is currently owned by ACH Food Companies, Inc. which also owns the trademarks for Durkee, Spice Kitchens, Argo, Kingsford’s, and Golden Griddle among others. 1919 In the third game of the World Series, Cincinnati right-handed pitcher Adolfo Luque becomes the first Latino to appear in baseball’s championship series. Nicknamed Dolf, he took the mound in the 9th inning of the third game against the White Sox. While he retired the side, there was no recovering the game for Cincinnati. He made his second appearance during game seven, another loss for the team. Cincinnati went on to win the series 5-3. Eight White Sox players would be accused of game-fixing in a scandal that would rock baseball. 1949 WERD in Atlanta beings broadcasting. It’s the first African American owned and operated radio station in the United States. As a hub of the African American community, it also provided a voice to Martin Luther King Jr.’s sermons and announcements. While the station exists now only in an online format broadcast by the current building owner, Rici de Forest. At one time, the building even housed a Madam C.J. Walker salon. The space has since been transformed into a museum dedicated to WERD, and Madam C.J. Walker. 1955 Children’s programming gets a boost from the debut of both Captain Kangaroo and the Mickey Mouse Club. Advertisement 1960 CBS debuts the Andy Griffith Show starring Andy Griffith as Andy Taylor, Don Knotts as Barney Fife, Frances Bavier as Aunt Bee, and Ron Howard as Opie Taylor. Other featured characters included Jim Nabors as Gomer Pyle and George Lindsey as Goober Pyle. The show aired for eight seasons, the first six all in black and white. 1992 Maurizio Damilano sets a world record for the fastest walk of 30 kilometers.
