What aspects of being an actor seem especially important to her? 

How does Cameron describe the challenges she faces in her personal life versus her public life? Give examples from the interview. 

What values or beliefs does Cameron express regarding being true to herself)? How does she believe these affect her work or life choices? 

According to the interview, what are some misconceptions (missuppfattningar) people might have about actors or celebrities? How does Cameron respond to these? 

If you were in Cameron’s position, how might you handle the pressures of fame and still be yourself?  What lessons from the interview could you apply to your own life?

The jobs we'll lose to machines -- and the ones we won't |
A Ted Talk by Anthony Goldbloom:

The video is 9 years old. Do you agree or disagree with his opinions? 

Invent a job that you think will exist in the future. Use your imagination! 

* Work individually but it is okay to help and inspire each other.  

* Create jobs that you think we will work with 2057.

* Open Google Presentations. Create one slide per headline and write a few sentences that answer the question: 

What do they do? 

How hard is it? 

Do you earn a lot of money? 

Do you need to study - if yes what and for how long? 

Do you need a machine to help you? Describe it. 

Why do you think this would be your future job? Explain why. Create pictures and add if you want to.

On Wednesday, October 8,  you will present your idea to me and 3 - 4 friends. 

All slides must be in English. You need to speak English when you are presenting your job. Supportive words are okay. 

Inspiration: 

Job Title: Memory Curator

What do they do?

A Memory Curator helps people organise, store, and even relive their memories. Using advanced technology, they can record important life moments directly from a person’s brain and place them in a digital "memory library." Families could re-experience birthdays, holidays, or special times together in full detail.

How hard is it?

It’s a very challenging job. The curator must understand both technology and human emotions. They have to handle people’s most private memories with great care.

Do you earn a lot of money?

Yes! Since this is a highly specialised service, Memory Curators are paid very well—similar to doctors or scientists.

Do you need to study?

Definitely. You would need to study neuroscience (the brain), computer science, and psychology. Training would probably take many years.

Machine needed: Memory Recorder

This machine looks like a soft, glowing helmet that safely scans the brain and copies chosen memories. It stores them in a digital crystal that can be replayed on a screen or in virtual reality.
