Haha<br /><br />How all these technology works really amazes me. I'm in the telco line so I know how all the mobile technology works. What goes on behind the scenes when you make a call or surf the net on your phone is complicated. Not many people know how complicated it is. <br /><br />Modern technology somehow decreases our real interaction with people. Everyone is so busy on their phones that they don't talk much anymore. I don't know if technology has caused more harm or benefit to our society.SGYIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445517891969740960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-91830180881552925002013-12-04T16:07:35.611+08:002013-12-04T16:07:35.611+08:00Hi SG YI
Nice post and brings back a lot of past ...Hi SG YI<br /><br />Nice post and brings back a lot of past memories when I used to live more simple life in a less structured environment.<br /><br />But the world moves on and we need to keep up with the world. I think that's part and parcel of life. But thats the disadvantage of today's world. It is going to be so stranger with all the modern technology that give a few more years and I will be behind the pack ><Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041255778427742477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-55554075159842757422013-12-04T15:39:12.226+08:002013-12-04T15:39:12.226+08:00Hi 15HWW,

With the slow speed, its even harder. <br /><br />Parents provide a very safe environment for their kids now. They help their kids settle almost every thing in life. I'm seeing parents coming to register for university admissions with their kids. Are they still kids? I don't think so. I hope I don't see parents going to job interviews with thier kids in the future. Although it may already be happening now. I think I heard someone said about it before.<br /><br />Vietnam is indeed an eye opener for me. To think that life can be so simple but yet happy is something I saw and experienced.

Some...Hi SGYI,<br /><br />Really enjoyed this post of yours!<br /><br />Sometimes, I do think that I am luckier than some of my nieces and nephews. After all, just like you, I grew up in the 90s when I had to learn to exercise control and patience. For eg, 20 hours of internet a month so can't "flirt" too long on IRC or ICQ? and even later, the 500 SMS limit?<br /><br />With parents catering to almost every whim and demands of kids these days, I wonder how they would adjust when they grow up and realise that things aren't as "easy" as they expect to be.<br /><br />Good that your Vietnam trip has made you appreciate that we all need very little to survive or even be happy about. =)15 HWWhttp://www.my15hourworkweek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-13767767953900710272013-12-04T09:49:29.023+08:002013-12-04T09:49:29.023+08:00Hi SGYI,
Good post. I think to teach young pple t...Hi SGYI,<br /><br />Good post. I think to teach young pple to appreciate delayed gratification, we have to start by teaching them how to read a physical book. It always starts off dreary, where you don't know the characters in the book and don't really care a hoot if they live or die. You might have to be disciplined enough to read the first few chapters, not with the guarantee that you'll like it, but with the hope that perhaps something will grow on you. There's no moving images to capture your attention - the only thing that keeps you moving forward is the imagination that you had created in your mind as you read the words. Word by word, sentence by sentence, eventually you'll reach a point where the story just hooks you and you'll find that it's hard to let go of the book. The payload of the plot can only be realised by investing into the book. Contentment and joy floods in. <br /><br />If you've experienced the joy of delayed gratification in reading a book, this can be easily extended to other aspects of life in general. Unfortunately, it's really hard to see people read books these days.la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.com
