Thank you for returning to my blog.
I love to post on my personal stuff weird holidays and “National Day of” ——. I found this one that thought it would be perfect for my business side.
National Techies Day is Saturday, October 3rd.
How is this holiday celebrated?
This holiday is celebrated by saying thank you to our techie friends 
What’s the best way to do that? By having a techie party!!
Origin of this Holiday?
Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. We did however find that this holiday has been celebrated for years. There is plenty of documentation to support that this holiday does indeed exist. This is referred to as a “National”celebration. However, we did not find any congressional records or presidential proclamations for this day. Even though, this is still a holiday to celebrate.
I found recognition about this holiday from:
Calendar sites and personal Internet sites that blog and share information about this holiday.
What is a techie?
“Techie is a term, derivative of the word technology, for a person who displays a great, sometimes even obsessive, interest in technology, high-tech devices, and particularly computers. Some techies express a disregard for any technology that could possibly be considered obsolete, even if the technology or process in question might only be considered obsolete within the techie community. Consequently, techies are also often early adopters. With the increased spending power of techies, a few media outlets exist that cater solely to them, most notably Wired, Slashdot, and, while it existed, TechTV. Geeks or nerds are often also considered to be techies; however, the reverse is not necessarily true and more people who would not be considered “geeks” are becoming techies, especially with the advancement of technology in recent years.
“Techie” is also used as a nickname (without pejorative connotations) for a student from a university with the name “Technology” in its title, such as Caltech, Georgia Tech, MIT, IIT,FIT and Virginia Tech.”
“Techie” (slang) is also a generalized occupational title for stagehands, electricians, carpenters or other professional Stage Technicians in the Theatre and Film Industries.”
“In the recent years “Techie” slang is most commonly attached with professionals in the Information Technology sector which is the worlds most higly appreciated profession in terms of its financial returns for an individual and social status and large number of professionals in this job area. Mostly anyone with any designation like Software Engineer, Analyst, Project Manager, General Manager, Line Of Business Head, and all will be generally grouped under “Techie” label in the IT industry.”
How will YOU be celebrating National Techie Day?
