Well that's exactly what I would do. But you had better give some thought to fleshing out your characters. Give at least a couple of them good technically demanding careers. For instance I have a couple of books on finance and stock trading by the computer for my characters that are successful. Just try not to make the mistakes that I havfe such as copying terms from books and then following them with such poorly written phrases that reveal my actual literacy to be that of a eighth grader. Even if you do that your other characters can come to the rescue. It works for me. Look how believable my characters are. There's a few more tricks you'll pick up as you go.
