EF Challenge Speech 2019
Hello!
My name is Daniela
Oñate, I’m 16 years old, I study at American School and I’m glad to share my
point of view with you.
Society? What is that? How should it be? Let me tell you that
nowadays we are
living in a society that in the future will be based much more on technology. In
the future, countries around the world will be focused on the technological
mobile experiences and they will have a great impact on the people.
For example, highly technological
companies are working for improving the medical assistance of the ambulances,
so vans in a future will access to the information of the patients with just
their fingerprints.
Nevertheless, the nowadays' economy will revolutionize the mobile technology, it might take us to
extreme sedentary lifestyles and individualism, that will bring us to think in
a solution for avoiding those consequences of having everything at hand.
Also, I think that our
future society will be too much dependable on technology, which has the risk that
if the people don’t manage well the advantages that technology has, like nanotechnology,
robotics, artificial intelligence, education, industry, virtual reality and even
more, it will be the determinant factor in the future for failures and it could
provoke extreme poverty and exclusion of the population.
In conclusion, for
assimilating the future we need to understand that in the present we depend a
30% on technology and their advances in a future can create two societies, one
that benefits for the technological advances and another that could be
suffering their wrongs. I think that people need to be conscious that
technology would change our lives and I hope that will revolutionize the world
for its sake.
“Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.” -Christian Lous Lange.
Thanks so much!
