Adaptable Humans
Section I
The famous saying “no one likes change” is debatable, but whether we like change or hate it, we all have our
own way of dealing with it. While some people relish a change in circumstances, others worry about how the
will cope with new situations. While some love the challenge of “the new,” some hate the inconvenience of
getting to grips with something different. In reality, it doesn’t really matter where we stand or what opinion w
have about change, because we all adapt.
Section II
Human beings are highly adaptable creatures. We can survive in freezing temperatures and still get on a pla
to hot and humid climates without a problem. Humans can survive living on their own and yet attend big
parties or family events in crowded rooms. Most of the time it’s simple: we assess a situation and behave or
adapt to it accordingly. This is true of the way we live and how we deal with change in our lives, but it is also t
of how we react to change in our surroundings.
Section III
Take technology, for example. The sheer rate of technological development could have left us astonished an
bombarded. But it didn’t. Actually, the opposite is true. We have adapted so quickly to these new technologie
that somehow we are less and less surprised about the new wonders of technology that we see on a daily
basis. More important, though, is how we have integrated these technological changes into our lives so
effortlessly that most of us haven’t realized it, and more of us can’t even remember a time when we weren’t
using these kinds of technology.
Section IV
Ten years ago we were all pretty good with mobile phones, text messages, and laptops. Today though, we th
nothing of making a video call to a friend, updating our social networking sites or downloading the latest
smartphone application to share music or files. The truth is that however fast technology moves, we will ado
and adapt to it at the same pace. That is to say that we can, and most of us do. But just because we can,

and adapt to it at the same pace. That is to say that we can, and most of us do. But just because we can,
doesn’t always mean that we want to.
Section V
There are varying degrees of acceptance and resistance to areas such as new technologies. Many young
people can’t wait to get their hands on the latest gadgets, while some use these new advances just because
they’re available and can make life easier. There are also others who can’t see the point of new technology a
are happy with older technology that seems to work well. So where does this divide come in? Generation pla
a big role in how new technology is received. For older generations, new technologies like this often strike the
as being unnecessary as well as complicated to learn about and use. Other generations can appreciate new
technologies for the convenience they provide. Then we have the younger generation who are intrigued and
interested in technology, and are the ones growing up with cutting-edge technology that has never been se
before.
Section VI
The way different people and age groups adapt to technology is just an example of how change affects us.
Even though we may have varying degrees of how willing we are to accept these changes, the truth remains
that we always adapt. Whether that means giving up on CDs and opting for MP3s instead, or even just being
aware of the new gadgets on the market, we never fail to adapt to our surroundings and the influences arou
us, and that’s what makes humans experts in adapting.
