or work, you bring this skill to perfection. Now, let's see what skills can be useful
to a person in the modern world.
One of the most useful skills in the modern world is the ability to learn something
new.
If you start listing the list of programs, applications, and innovations that have ap-
peared in our lives over the past 10 years, we will spend a lot of time. Now we can
communicate with our relatives via Skype, we can see where the bus goes on the
Internet application and know how many minutes we need to get to the stop. We
can register for a doctor's appointment by sitting at home in front of the computer,
we can work from home remotely. We may collect the meeting via Internet confer-
encing. We don't need to buy a map of Moscow in order to find a certain house,
because everyone has this map in their smartphone. We can carry an entire library
with us in our ridder and read books anywhere — on the subway, at work or on a
trip. We can order the delivery of clothing and food in a couple of clicks and have
everything you need in the house, even without leaving it. We can fully organize a
trip, rent an apartment in another country, buy a ticket, arrange a transfer, even
without knowing the language of the country we are going to. We can communi-
cate with people from other countries without knowing their language using a
Google translator, such as during the world Cup. Modern technologies simplify our
lives very much. All these skills are already a common part of many people's lives
in the modern world.
But there is one small but — all these people are able to quickly figure out how
to use all these applications and programs. There are still very conservative people
in society who either do not want to interact with the Internet in any way, or do so
partially, using only the most necessary things, such as search engines and email .
They often think that these programs and applications are incredibly difficult to
understand, but in fact, most of these programs and applications are built in such a
way that people understand everything intuitively. Well, if it's not really easy for
you to understand all sorts of Internet things, then believe me, having understood
one application, it will be much easier for you to understand the next one.
