Cynicism will always Haunt me
Wow... Im surprised ppl actually take the time to drop by and chat around here (refer to chatbox). Just a shout out to those ppl that I really do appreciate your concern and it's nice to feel loved. *coughs at own perasanness*
So, anyways, the International House had a charity event in which I took part in one of the performances. We danced to "THRILLER". I thought that that was a total coicidence 'cause that's what I was thinking about peforming whilst back in M'sia and before I came over to Aus. So I guess someone read my mind?! HAHHA!
Exams are in 3 weeks. Well actually maybe less and I think Im not really ready for anything but I really can't be stuffed. Just counting on passing all my classes and I'd be happy.
I was reading an article in the Law Magazine and they mentioned something about us being so used to using technology to communicate that we find it too much effort to think of our tone, sentences, expression when talking to someone face to face. Like, we would prefer to just complain about bad services through the internet, post our deepest and darkest secrets online. Even mobile phones contribute to this, I do believe. How many r'ships can you name that have been developed through the power of technology? I'd reckon that I could think of a few...Even married couples who met online before they got into a r'ship.
Probably got to accept that they world is evolving and we don't only depend on face to face r'ships to develop trust and understanding but do you really find THAT to be true? Are we really going to be isolated freaks, sitting in front of our computers and beside our mobile phones creating r'ships without human contact or expressions?
What kind of emotionless monsters will we turn into? Is all this technology really worth it in the end? In terms of relationships and real emotions.
I guess one could argue that it does help us keep in contact with our loved ones back home when one is overseas. It helps us create globalised trading and efficiency (though, MAS is doing a lousy ass job at that.. bloody frustrating). It makes everything move along much faster but would it lead to the deterioration of human communications and emotion?
Will we ourselves turn into programmed, emotionless robots in the future?
