In a technologically advancing world, is it better to be technology savvy or people savvy for careers? People savvy as in being a people person and knowing how to handle people. #technology #tech

It is better to be BOTH people savvy and tech savvy. With tech becoming more and more people oriented, you need the soft skills. I.E people savvy, to relate to the people behind the tech issues and advancements that will arise. it is best to be well rounded with skills from BOTH positions

Both!  Follow your passion in the tech field and learn all that you can but don't let that be your only skill.  Being a people person will open more doors for you.  Your future can have you lead a team and you will need your soft skills to listen, teach, lead and inspire others.

You need both. Tech savvy if you want to have a career in technology. It is everywhere so have to use and learn different technologies. You have to work with people in most of the jobs/careers so have to learn to get along. If you want to be a manager then people savvy is needed to manage, deal with and help people

Better to have both. Having said that, I believe that people skill is more important. Case in point: think about that astronaut who were charged with attempted murder, because she wanted to bring down her romantic rival.  https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/06/us/06cnd-astronaut.html

Emotional Intelligence is a life skill, not only for work but for life, among your family, your marriage, friend, co-workers and your neighbors. If you are not well in your people skill or emotional well-being, it can destroy your career no matter your technological skill. 

Note: people savvy is not only about handlin people, but handling situations. Sometimes we need to learn to separate the situation from the people in it.
