Introduction
- The speaker introduces herself as the mother of Natalia and the CEO of Global Records.
- The theme of the event is harmony, interpreted as balance and quality of life.
Impact of Technology on Modern Life
- Technology promises to improve our quality of life but complicates our relationship with time, patience, and expectations.
- Unlike previous generations, we are more aware of mental balance but also more prone to imbalance due to rapid technological advancements.
- Technology has changed the way people consume media, with streaming services like Spotify and YouTube enabling on-demand access to music and videos.
- This on-demand culture extends to other areas of life, such as shopping and travel, leading to a decline in patience and tolerance.
Personal Experiences in the Entertainment Industry
- The speaker shares personal experiences in the entertainment industry, where the rapid pace and short-lived nature of content creation and consumption pose challenges for creative processes that require time.
- Contrary to expectations, the creative process involves extensive periods of silence, discussions, and experimentation before a song materializes.
- Creative individuals require time and freedom from time constraints to produce their best work.
Achieving Balance and Harmony
- Balance and harmony are both a condition and a goal, requiring conscious effort to achieve and maintain.
- Technology should be used to enhance life and provide more time, rather than consuming it.
- The speaker encourages the audience to avoid living on autopilot and to intentionally create space and time for themselves.
