Technology is everywhere.  From the phones in our pockets to the complex logistical systems that underpin international trade, humanity depends on technology. Today we're celebrating the dedicated experts that make technology work. Without millions of hard-working techies, even the most brilliant technological innovations would be worthless.

Happy International Techies Day!

What Is International Techies Day?

Celebrated every year on October 3rd, International Techies Day shines the spotlight on the tech experts that create, maintain, and innovate the technologies we depend on.

International Techies Day was originally created as a way to incentivize students to pursue careers in technology. All around the country today, teachers are encouraging high school students to consider focusing their talents and energy on improving the technology industry.

But today isn't just about motivating the next generation of technology experts. Today is also about all of you, the technology enthusiasts who turn the dreams of innovators into the tech of tomorrow.

Techies - The Backbone of Innovation

Great ideas can change the world. But a great idea can only go so far. Without the work of techies to maintain, innovate, and optimize technologies, even the greatest idea would be useless. That's what techies do. Technology experts turn brilliant ideas into actionable, usable products that consumers can depend on.

The world also turns to techies in times of crisis. When a major technology breaks down, we rely on techies to patch bugs, secure our data, and bring order back to the chaos!

Tech Matters - And So Do The People Who Make It Happen!

Now more than ever, technology is the future. Every year, new technologies change the way we run businesses, build relationships, and communicate. It's easy to get swept up in the stories of the innovative minds behind the world's biggest technologies. But without techies like yourself, brilliant ideas would be just that - ideas.

Today, we're excited to shine a spotlight on the technology specialists who turn thoughts into action and work to maintain the technologies that we depend on every day. As we all become more and more reliant on technology, we're most definitely thankful for the tech enthusiasts who keep it all running!
