In this age of technology, many tasks are done by brain power. Insufficient knowledge may be incompetent, so me must improve our knowledge. In the end, the most important things for success is attitude. To be able to be humble and sincere to others, and to work hard and be self-motivated. ----------- 5 words  1. demanding (adj) needing a lot of time, attention, or energy Example: She's a very demanding   child . 2. stratospher

I prefer to work from home. For me, I don't like to sit on the chair all day. If the work need to take me five hours to done it, why do I need to stay in the office for eight hours. I can arrange the remaining three hours to do what I like, such as go to the gym, playing basketball, and learning knowledge outside of my profession.  I can arrange a whole day's itinerary.

 At the beginning, I didn't think any AI technology was applied in my life. Because I seldom use Siri. And I don't have Sweeping robot. But when I searched the Internet and found out what are examples for AI, I found that AI is inseparable from ours lives. For example, like Youtube's algorithm for recommending videos for you is AI technology. I like to watch some recommended videos on Youtube. Because I can see some interesting videos that I haven't seen before. So I really use AI technology everyday life.

But if I have proper rest for my eyes, I can reduce the chance of short-sighted.  Technology allows us to understand the international situation and no longer only pay attention to the news of our country.  So I think technology is not harmful for me. I'm glad I was born in the age of advanced technology.
