Many, if not most users of ICT, restrict their use to a few software applications. However, if you are able to become familiar with many more applications, over time you will acquire a 'technology felicity', which will enhance your confidence. The FOSS universe has thousands of applications you will find useful. In any area of work, you will find more than one application. Your learning need not be restricted to just one application in any area, learning more will increase your expertise and confidence.

Such 'learning to learn' ability can be a useful outcome from fearlessly exploring multiple applications.
