If the future society you live in is not bright for you, don't you feel a little lonely? In order to prevent this from happening, everyone should take the initiative in research at university and use their own strengths to "update" society (fixing problems and updating to new ones). Don't. Of course, even if you don't "update" society, the times are changing every moment in various ways, such as how local communities should be and how we work. University faculty members, including myself, will be happy to advise you on such simple concerns as "How should I respond to changes in society?" And let's all consider together how to "update" to live a bright future society!
