The one thing I know is that I don't want to be left behind.
I'm part of the generation who grew up with computers and the internet. I remember when we first got a computer at home. My family didn't have a telephone until I was eight years old. The only other people I knew who had phones were the neighbours across the road. We used to play in their garden and use their phone if ours wasn't working. It seemed like magic to me back then. Nowadays everyone has a smartphone and they can talk to anyone in the world instantly. I think it's amazing.
But I also love the simplicity of life before all this technology. There are still lots of places where there isn't any electricity or running water. People go to bed early and get up late because there's no light comes from streetlights. When I travel to those countries, it feels like stepping into another time.
It's easy to say that the past was better than the present, but I'm not sure that's true. In some ways our lives seem so much more complicated now. For example, there are lots of different kinds of medicine these days. Some of them are really effective, but others aren't proven safe. You can buy anything online these days. But there are risks associated with buying things on the internet, too.
There are lots of pros and cons to both sides of the argument. I guess it depends what kind of person you are. If you're a cautious person, you probably wouldn't like living in a place without electricity or running water. And if you're adventurous, you might like to try living somewhere where there's no mobile signal.
I've been to lots of different countries around the world. Each country has its own way of doing things, but I've found that most of them are similar. I think that's because people are basically the same wherever you go. They all want to be happy and healthy, and they all have dreams and hopes for the future.
So maybe it doesn't matter whether we live in the modern world or in the past. What matters is how we treat each other. Maybe that's why I enjoy visiting different countries so much – because I meet so many interesting people.
And even though there are a lot of bad things happening right now, I'm optimistic about the future. I think there will always be good people out there, and they'll work together to make the world a better place. That's what I believe.
