She is the voice of technology’s future, treated as incapable but capable.

Now days, I can see women who are empowered with their career.  In some countries, women are more dominant than men.  They can express their thoughts through an art of tattoo, some on how they dress, on the talents they have and skills.

You can see women in power even the works are for men.  It is also easier to work with women, and easier for them to look for a job, because they are flexible.  Women lives longer compare with men because of their expressive attitude and some of them are in leadership.

Despite of any changes that a woman has been facing right now either from their career, family, body or in society. Remember that once upon a time, this woman was a girl. 

A young girl who are easily manipulated, innocent, fragile, hyperactive, and trying to be different just to be different.  But has potential on her hand.

On the coming 5 to 10 years, these girls around the world when empowered and given a chance to learn the use of technology can be a channel of change.

She can be a voice of those who are deaf to speak with their rights.  With the technology, she can reach more women who needs encouragement.  She will watch on every injustice that needs to be heard and bring attention with.  She can bring unity and create an atmosphere of sisterhood globally. 

She is the voice of technology’s future, treated as incapable but capable.

Look at a young girl who became famous in 2018, Greta Thunberg, 15 yrs old from Sweden.  She skipped school in a strike against climate change. She was invited to speak at the 2018 United Nations Climate Change Conference and her speech went viral. Her famous quote “Our house is on fire”

Each girl has dream and to look forward to for their future.  The technology can be source of knowledge and expression. 

If this can be taught to girls and use it responsibly, they have the power to be the voice of technology’s future.
