Task 2

Is modern digital technology the only way forward in life?

The internet are growing and growing. Can you imagine what the world would be without technology, or easier said what would the world be without Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, iPhone, television or radio? With the internet comes both advantages and disadvantages, but maybe modern digital technology is a blessing and the only way forward? 

The internet gives you opportunities to share your story, your perspective, your meaning and your side of a case in a completely new way. With just a single click, your thoughts could be shared with thousands of people throughout the whole wide world. Millions of viewers, readers and other internet users can see and read your expressions. This is a great way for companies, but also private persons, to publish their meanings in politics, marketing or finance. Trough social media it is easier to get in contact with a larger group of people and also more important persons at the same time. If you are good at expressing yourself or good-spoken you have a great chance to convince others, and then it will be easier to convince even more people. That is because when someone likes or agree with your post, they normally share it, which means they create a post that contains a link to your post. Then some of the sharers friends can see it, and maybe they share it as well. This goes on and on, so social media is a great way to get more supporters.

However, the internet does not just bring us more supporters, there is many things you can find out by one single search. Google for example is like a giant brain. I bet you can type in whatever you want information about, and find it within two minutes. Google is kind off the main webpage that brings you to other webpages; it is like the center of the webpages. With this site, you maybe do not need to go to the supplier to get help with your problem on the TV, or your problem on your cellphone; there is thousands of people out there who can give you the information you need to fix the challenges.

                                                                          

On the other side, maybe modern digital technology isn’t a blessing and the only way forward. The kids that are growing up these days have iPads and smartphones, and many of them are not aware of the risks and traps on the internet. The kids nowadays care about how many likes they got on their selfie, or witch level they are in a videogame, and that’s a huge contrast to when I was younger and we played outside in the dirt. Today young people spend maybe a bit too much time on their smartphones and their digital friends then the real friends. Myself included, are using my smartphone to be online when I should have given more attention to my friends out there in the offline world.

There are both positive and negative sides with the modern digital technology. It is an enormous part of our lives, but we cannot forget to spend time offline as well as online. The technology is a great tool, and it develops the community we live in in bad and good ways. 

The definition of success

The writer Ralph Waldo Emerson has an easy definition of the word “success”, summed up in nine points, which all are quit achievable if you try.
How would you define success?

His first definition is “to laugh much”. Very achievable if you ask me.
If you live a good life, surrounded with friends and family that you care about, and that care about you too, laughter comes as a natural reaction to fun. Is it fun to have success?
Is laughter a natural reaction to success?
His second definition is “to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children”.
Are you immediately successful if a little child gives you their love and affection?
I ask these questions because I want you to think.
Read over his points, and make up your own definition, and meaning.

The writer has an easy definition of success. He means that if you manage to achieve these
nine points he mentioned, you have succeeded in life, and you have succeeded in the
relationships you have. I think that many of his points can, combined with the definition of
happiness, and the fact that you have done something of interest, be the definition of success.
Of course, everyone should have, his or her, own opinion about definitions
