Patrick Kim The ConflicTS Of a modErn man

Age 14

13-15 year olds

As modern technology has become a larger part of my father’s life, including his work, it has been a struggle for him to ensure that it doesn’t consume his personal life, those moments that involve family, fun and friendship. This inner conflict between his past and present experiences – and the rapidly growing presence of technology in his life – makes him boil. Although he may look like a simple man at first, his mind is a battleground, where he faces a starkly contemporary enemy, and his family and friends are at stake.
