How technology is changing our lives
Thousands of years ago early humans were already using technology to hunt, gather and harvest crops. Since those very first spears and axes, technology has developed very far. Today we live in a world where information travels almost instantly across the Earth. We are in a place where people can travel faster than the speed of sound and where we keep discovering new things and new ways to improve.
New technology startups are being formed everyday and revolutionary technologies are being developed faster than ever before. Facebook recently bought the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset for two billion dollars after it had been a startup for only a short period of time. Google is building driverless cars which means that future generations may never need to learn to drive. Other companies like Tesla have developed electric sports cars that can go 270 miles in one charge.
Anyone can make a successful startup with a good idea and some hard work. Well, no you need to be very lucky. You need to be able to betray your close friends and lie straight to peoples faces. You need to be willing to do many things to get your idea out there. Whether it includes sleepless nights or not spending any time with your friends and family, that is all part of the pack. With more and more technological advances it has become increasingly difficult to succeed.

The Silent Train
The man hurried up the steps, slightly breathless. Just minutes before he had taken a
glance at the clock and realised he would miss his train with his slow pace. The platform
was empty, but he did not think much of it. It was only seven in the morning on a Saturday,
was it not? His hurrying paid off, for the train arrived exactly on time, as if called by the
man.
He stepped into the clean and modern train and made himself comfortable in a seat.
The long train seemed to stretch to infinity with all its identical, silent seats. He did feel a bit
lonely in the empty train, but it could not be helped. His station was the first on the
trajectory. This wasn’t his first ride deprived of company.

Experience as a volunteer in India
This summer I had one of the best experiences of my life. I participated in a solitary project in India.
