Watching “The 2 Most Important Skills for the Rest of Your Life” was a wake-up call for me. It showed how technology, despite its amazing potential to connect and empower us, can also harm society when ethics take a back seat. It made me think about how even well-intentioned innovations can lead to consequences we might not expect.
As someone passionate about sustainability and materials science, this hit close to home. While I want to work on solutions like recycling and renewable energy systems, this documentary made me realize that my focus can’t just be on solving technical problems. I need to think about the bigger picture—how my work will impact people’s lives, the environment, and the future.
This experience has left me inspired to approach my career with more thoughtfulness. I want to make sure that the work I do, whether it’s designing better materials or creating sustainable technologies, truly helps build a better world. It’s a reminder that behind every calculation and experiment, there are real people and real consequences, and that’s something I’ll carry with me moving forward.
