funny how dependent we are on technology...years ago, in another lifetime, people were not as dependent as we do now....ah ah ah, i see some of u shaking ur heads, thinking 'no, no!i don't use my pc everyday!'....but think hard, crank that unused part of ur brain...i'm sure u r at least dependent much on ur mobile phones no?...all of us has different priority on technology....even if u r not so dependent on it, u at least use ur mobile phone more than 10 times daily, no?....
let me put it this way....u may use ur mobile more than others...or u may use ur pc (that's ur laptop/desktop) more often than others (like moi!)...u may even use ur pda the most (also like moi!i read lotsa ebooks from my pda ^^)...alternatively, most of us check our emails at least weekly, if not daily...or we watch tv or youtube religiously...or we download songs like there's no tomorrow...or we keep our ipod/mp3 player so close, we are almost adjoined to it...or we text like madness to convey things like 'cya!', 'otw', 'thanks!', ':)', 'hate ya!', 'happy bday!' and so on (observe tiger woods' & mistress' millions of kinky text messages)...or we chat with our friends on blackberry apps/yahoo msger/msn msger/skype...or we check facebook every 35 seconds, unwilling to miss even one update...
continuation: or we empty our bank account to buy the latest mobile phones, gadgets or programs...or beggar our parents/significant others, depending our ur type...we use things like car, airplanes, microwave, juicer, food processor, coffee maker, air conditioner, heater, washing machine, dryer, oven and lots of other household apparatus that makes our lives much much livable and easier...in conclusion, every one of us are very very very DEPENDENT on technology...unless u come from the third world country, where u don't even get proper housing and clean water, much less electricity and internet...which in any case, u don't even read my blog for the sheer waste of time of it...
anyway, our dependence means every slight or broken or delay or wonkiness means total death to sanity...for example, my programs in my laptop (not the new lappie, praise GOD be!) are currently running slower...fazan noted this a few days ago when it takes like 10 hours to boot my very own laptop (okay it's an erroneous exaggeration, but u get what i mean)....it also takes longer to shut-down or open a new program/folder....i have already semi-cleaned my humongous files, so i'm left of half of hard drive space rather than just 10% a few weeks ago...but it runs even slower...suspicions of unidentified malware is rife...but to lazy to reformat...too much work...
today, i get thousands of 'script not responding' or some shit while using my work programs, causing undue panic and stress and anxiety attack...u see, my part-time job is very dependent (that hated word again) on clocking in on time and doing my job as fast as possible, within time limit...the unresponsive script makes me want to hurl, since i've rebooted my laptop 3 times, causing me to go offline 3 times, wasting more than 20 minutes and lessening my chance of getting my task done on time...i even made one HUGE mistake in one of my task (don't want to think abt it now!)...after stressing about, scaring myself to death, someone else clocked in (i was initially alone for an hour so no help for the wicked) and after mentioning my problem, she suggested google chrome...
fuuuuuh....imagine my sigh of gladness when it turned out google chrome works perfectly for my work!....i was like 'GOD GOD GOD!I PROMISE TO SACRIFICE MY BEST PILLOW IF U ONLY SAVE MY LAPTOP!'...alas there must be something incompatible for my work program and firefox...my laptop is still running slow...i'm still hoping God will miraculously save my laptop, making it go faster (without checking on my own)...i'm still half joined to my pda and laptop and internet...in the end, technology rules my entire being, not the other way round...*sigh*
