i can't deny the fact that technology is good and has done an uncountable number of positive things to my life. to be honest, i cant really how i'd survive one day without my hand phone/ the internet. i mean i probably wouldnt die, but i'd certainly feel uneasy, like very uneasy. however, i'm sure i appreciate life without technology much better than many others.
many times before when taking the train, i've seen like almost everyone else playing games/ watching videos/ listening to music with their iphones. it seemed interesting to me intially, as i was once attracted to those games as well. however, the extent to which the iphone is invading our life now, i feel, is scary. i mean is it possible for everyone in a group of friends who are taking the train together to all be looking at their iphones and not talking to one another at all? worse still, is it possible for a couple to be on a date and while waiting for their dinner dishes to be served, doing their own things in their iphones? urghhh what's the world coming to? hmm the phone is supposed to make communication easier, not replace communication totally, isn't it?
when travelling from one place to another, whatever mode of transport i'm taking, i still like observing the people around me, appreciating the beauty of the surrounding scenery and enjoying the sound of people talking and vehicles moving. this morning was a perfect example, since the weather, too, was so pleasant.
my mom will probably force me to take her iphone soon, but i shall not let it change my weird habits. haha i just realised that i may just be 21 but my thinking is similar to that of those born in the 1950s! :D
