Dumai, SelayangNews.com - In the modern age, English is no longer a matter of choice or simply following a trend instead, it has become a strategic necessity for survival, competition, and growth. This is true not only in the professional and academic spheres but also as the main key to unlocking one's personal potential on the global stage Mastery of English serves as the primary key to accessing global knowledge, opening up career opportunities, and actively participating in the digital world.
Scientifically, the majority of the latest academic literature, scientific journals, research findings, and new textbooks across various fields namely science, technology, medicine, and business are published in English.
Furthermore, in the digital realm, the majority of content on the internet, including coding documentation, technology guides, international news, and social media platforms, is predominantly in English. Without mastering it, you will be left behind from the fastest and broadest currents of information.
Regarding technology, for example, when you buy the newest gadget or need to learn how to use advanced, recently launched software, the user instructions are initially created in English. If you do not understand the language, you must wait for a translation, which makes you slow to adopt new technology. However, in my opinion, English might not be an absolute necessity for everyone for instance, for those who work in a very localized and non-digitally connected environment.
Nevertheless, for anyone who aspires to grow, move to a higher level, or seek opportunities beyond national borders, it immediately transforms into an absolute necessity. Without this "password," your access is limited. That is why, in the digital world, English is an absolute necessity for anyone who wants to progress and does not want to be left behind.
