Self-reflection..
--
Earlier in my childhood, when I first touched and used the desktop computer with Windows XP on it, I instantly fell in love with it. I didn't have a clue what I wanted to do with my life when I grew up, but one thing was for sure: I wanted to stay close to computers. Even today, I can spend the entire day on the laptop for no apparent reason, just checking and exploring everything in it😁. (Did I mention that my laptop is the most cared-for item of mine?)
Earlier, when I started using computers on a daily basis, I felt the impact of technology and computers on our lives. I could type, talk to friends, create word arts, surf the internet, and do a million other things. That time I felt like a door of information was open to me, and I could dwell on the things that I liked. With a few simple clicks of the mouse, I could find almost anything I liked. science, technology, math, and what not. The Internet has the good, the bad, and the ugly, but in my opinion, it is opening the door to opportunity and information regardless of gender, location, age, race, religion, or social status. The internet treats everyone equally. It's up to us to figure out how to make the most of it.
Fortunately, my path of life has been drawn into software and technology. I have been continuously working on different domains of software and designs for almost 7 years. While working with different teams and organizations for different products, I have come to realize that the true meaning of work for me is to make an impact on people's lives, even if it's for a small number of people. I want to help people do their best for themselves using the products that I have worked on. If you ask me what success is, I would say having built a product on the internet that has an impact on people's lives, even if it is only a 1% improvement.
All the big tech giants and their products were started with the simple motto of helping people achieve their goals faster and better. Companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple are doing the same, helping us to achieve our full potential. The Internet is a good place to create a larger difference in people's lives. So I want to make a dent in this big universe of software and tools.
Given what computers and the internet have done for this generation and time, I believe better solutions are more needed than ever. I am still navigating my path toward helping people with digital design in different ways. I hope that one day I will be able to have a greater impact on larger groups of people and their lives. For me, the Internet and connectivity are wonderful things that are becoming more powerful over time. Making good use of it to make a difference would provide me with a genuine sense of accomplishment.
