What does Transformation Mean to me?
Eylül Berin UZUN ‣
To begin with, when I think about transformation, the first thing that comes to my mind is technology. In the 21st century, the concept of transformation is crucial because technology profoundly affects our lives in various ways, including transportation, education, and daily routines. While technology has been improving very fast, it is also changing how we live. It shapes how we continue our relationships, our daily habits, and even our psychology.
When I think about how it affects our generation, I can see that education isn’ t just about books anymore, as it used to be. With the transfer of information to digital plattorms, knowledge has both reached wider audiences and become easier to access in many fields. Students from all over the world have shared their cultures by spreading knowledge and gathering information from people globally.
In addition to these positive sides, digitalization also brings many negative impacts. Nowadays, people tend to accept information they find on the internet without questioning it at all. On the other hand, we are all familiar with the recent developments in Artificial Intelligence and it makes our lives so much easier, doesn’ t it? However, behind this practicality, we usually don’ t realize the huge amount of water use and how it causes water and habitat loss.
Besides education, our culture and identity are also changing. via internet, we can share our traditions with the whole world. This is a big opportunity to understand different cultures. However, there are some challenges too. Sometimes, we focus too much on our digital lives and forget face- to-face communication or our own local traditions. In my view, we need to find a balance. We can use technology to help our society and keep our traditions at the same time.
