Tech Thrust --Alex Png

Modern World is approaching,

Welcome it with open arms.

Trodden Times were before,

No difference now it seems.

Defined Technology,

It reaches out to palms.

Portable,lightweight,everywhere.

Things that screeches out voices,

Never else heard before as fakely.

Nowhere not in sight,

Flooded with crooked tights.

A chance to flaunt off your possessions,

Proving you are still in the fashion know.

How good can that be,

Only you and I will know.

Here we are,

Technology in a world,

Strickened with false cues.

Empowering misabuse.

Dying are human values,

Living the crooked fellows.

Knowing nothing better

Than to be lead by the nose.

Have decided upon a weekly swimming affair with some of my secondary school mates.
Also,there was the 4e1 class outing today and I took some pictures,serving as Suhaila's backup photographer.The pictures are uploaded on the 4e1 class space (Old Folks' Home) on msn.Rather fun having the raining picnic.Have been flooded with school work of late.So may not be able to update that often.Lots of tests,getting on my nerves.Yeah,I realised that I have been able to keep up with my friends recently.That made me euphoric.Other than that,I find out I'm rather accustomed to JC academic life.Nice one,Alex.Oh,before I forget,I have changed my combination LONG after PAE.No more Chemistry,but English Literature.So,it is English Literature,Chinese Literature(LEP),Econs and Maths H2s.Double Lit = work harder.Sounds tough?My choice.Work for it.No laments.


Technology-Bane or not?-- Alex Png

I have always found it ironical how apparently useful things can do harm to us.Here we are,in the 21st century,where computers are never a rare sight that spoil our sights anymore,television becoming a neccessity rather than an extra perk that helps provoke that element of violence in us,despite all the melodrama.All these,regardless of how benevolent technology has been to us.

Technology is always controversial.Oddly,no one can ever really be convinced that it's an all positive or all negative issue,for the advantages bring about the disadvantages,and vice versa.Therefore,people may lament and berate it for all they want,but at the end of the day,they know that they themselves,too,can't live without it,for it has been integrated into our lives now.So much so that if one were to travel to another place far away without it,they would be lost.Matter-of-factly,almost anyone would be reluctant to rely on travelling by foot.In addition,if anyone were not to be in favour with technology's benefits,what could the high increase in handphone ownership account to?

Obviously,technology's attractiveness far outweighs its shortcomings.First of all,if not for technology,would i be able to post this blog here?No doubt in doing so i'm wasting fossil fuels that are supplied just for this cause,but all in all,it is for the good of people,as its meant for education.We are living here now in this generation whereby countless electronic products are introduced to meet the demands of our business sector,education sector,and personal usages.This is what technology is all about.It is never with the intention of inventions created to plunge mankind into further trouble.Never.Have you ever come across an advertisement promoting a product that helps to deplete the ozone layer whilst being able to provide you with entertainment and pleasure?Name me one.

Albeit all the controversies,no one can really say that technology is totally a positive yardstick to help reach out to others in the form of mass media,for personal entertainment and leisure etc.In fact,it is almost agreeable that technology has made our lives easier but our mentality and physique weaker.We have grown lazier due to the invention of remote controls.People abuse the usage of air-cons,to the extent of leaving it on 24 hours.Better digital music players meant relaxation for the stressful life today,but has in turned led to more damage to eardrums than before.The internet is no doubt a good means of sourcing for information and sharing of ideas,however it also allows delinquents to tour pornography sites.One may ask,how has technology done justice to us?

No one really has the answer.With it's pros equalling it's cons,and the attraction ever-increasing,technology will never fail to appeal to the modern people.Whatever problems it causes shall jolly well be ignored,for what people care nowadays is just entertainment and fun.Whenever something new comes up,the temptation is hard to resist,hence we will never be able to bid it goodbye.

Hate it or love it,technology is here to stay.
