We're surrounded by a lot of modern innovation, modern technology. The thing I faced a lot of difficulty with was using my new PS5 gaming console. I spent literally three hours trying to install it, but I just couldn't get it because it was brand new, and I had pre-ordered it. It literally took 15 days for it to arrive. In my area, I was the first person to get it. A lot of other people got it too, but I didn't know them; they were just random people. So I got it, opened the package, and I didn't read any details about how to install it. Then my mom threw out the paper, and I couldn't install it again. I had a lot of difficulty with the installation. I called my friend to help with the problem, but he didn't pick up the call because he was very busy studying. After an hour, my friend came back to my house, and he was studying, so we both spent literally five hours fixing it. After that, we watched a video online; there was an official video published by the PS5 channel. So we watched the video, and step by step, my friend and I did some programming and installed it. I use this console very often because I play a lot of games. I feel very confident that I managed to set it up because we have to be smart when dealing with technology. If we don't know how to use something, we can follow instructions or watch videos. At that time, I called my friend, but usually, I check videos online. I didn't do that, so I learned to be smarter. Nowadays, I often use a lot of new technology, for example, smartwatches, AI-controlled apps for smartwatches, and AI-controlled phones. Those things are very complicated to use, but what I do is watch a tutorial video online, and then I can easily install these apps on my phone. That makes it very simple to use, and I feel very smart, to be honest.
