Dear Reader,

Please take a cup of tea or coffee or make yourself a smoothie, and spend some time thinking about the seven questions that follow. A little space is provided after each question for your answers, but you might want to use a notebook and write down your answers separately. Then you can revisit the questions again, after reading this book, or even after reading the rest of this chapter, in which I will share with you my and others’ answers. You may even want to revisit these questions sometime in the near future, to see how your answers have changed.

The questions are related to the convergence model described in Chapter 3. They cover the four clusters of circles which represent the life environment, life role, globalization, and ICT.
