I love this quotes because change is always prevalent- no matter who you are, change happens in your life. It's a quote that everyone can relate to in their own way, and I appreciate that. Throughout my life, I have gone through many changes... both physically and emotionally. Through it all, I've tried to adapt as best I can and move forward with my life. But I don't want this post to be about me- instead, I'd like to focus it towards the future.
Advancements are being made everyday in the fields of science and technology- this year we even discovered a new organ in the human body. On a smaller scale, there have been many improvements with VR gaming consoles and even high-tech home systems that can control your home through voice commands. Now, as I get older, I don't want to lose touch with the world. While I certainly don't condone voice-operated homes, I do think that a lot of today's technology is extremely advanced and awesome. I feel as though there is this precursor that older people are inept when it comes to technology... and I think that's a stereotype that has become less of a stereotype and more of a reality as the years have pressed on. However, I think this is a reality that should (and will be) broken by the generation that is growing up currently. So many older people just accept that they're not meant to know something just because it doesn't come from their time period, and they don't want to "try too hard"... but I disagree. Technology shouldn't have an age. Technology is just the next step to improvement! I don't think anyone should ever feel ashamed to learn to better use it... and furthermore, I don't think anyone should just give up on it without giving it a chance. As I get older (and I mean in the long run), I never want to lose touch with the world. Yes, I may lose some of my physical attributes... but I want to keep my mind as young (and sharp) as I can. I want to know what I'm doing in the world I live in. I don't want to ever say "I give up" without even trying... and I never want to refuse to learn because I think I'm too old to. To get back to the quote that started this post... the successful species is the one that learns to adapt. This is how progression has led us this far. People adapt to the world around them as it changes, and come out better for it. Don't give up. Don't stop adapting. - Maddie
