NEW TECHNOLOGY, NEW LIFESTYLE
By: Rebcas R.
Living in the present time is apparently different compared to the past. We are so busy today and always being challenged on the things we choose considering the reality of choices which could be numbered into billions. The varied informations we face everyday made us think well on what to accept and on what to neglect or reject. Wrong choice may mean wrong path to go through. In the past, living is just simple, informations were considerably accepted as important and useful without the difficulty of thinking and scrutinizing. The words of the kings, queens, leaders, heads, pharaohs, and the ancient conquerors were information of commands and powers that there was only the need to follow - the opportunity to choose was just easy or it was alright not to choose at all because those in power were given the opportunity to generally choose for their people.
As time goes on, the challenges of living are becoming individualistic and basically democratic in nature. Education makes us think freely on what is really good for each of us which led to and continually leading to inventions and would be leading to more inventions as the general freedom enjoyed by the mind and heart of an individual has been given more emphasis.
However, the truthfulness of the saying "no man is an island" is always existing as a progressive and result-oriented individual usually joins in partnership with other individuals of same or related specialization and field. Thus, inventions became more complicated and more useful and giving more time for us to relax and do other things. In less time, we can do more and even duplicate what we are doing more. We can even compute millions of numbers in less time. The genius mind of each individual in a certain specialization joined with other genius minds of other individuals resulted to things (equipments, machines, and the like) which are highly technological by nature - one great example then is the invention of computer with its high-leveled latest versions that is continuously being upgraded every now and then.
The invention of computer has changed the world. Through the computer, other more complicated yet practically useful inventions are invented. It is changing the lifestyle of the world. If a person is not computer-literate at present, it is very difficult for him or her to be progressive. Consequently, the young people of today improve their computer-literacy through formal or non-formal education with the awareness of the reality that a computer is becoming all-in-one appliance - a game machine, a research equipment, an audio-visual appliance, etc.
My computer literacy has been boosting my sense of professionalism. Though I did not get a course on computer in my college days, I learned more from my friends who had finished their computer courses and from my hands-on experiences using a second-hand computer I bought in an installment basis. I did not see the importance of computer literacy before, because the purchase I made was just "for the sake of friendship". But such second-hand computer had led and has been leading me to a new lifestyle of the modern era. I can do complicated things now in less time. I can get information now in whatever part of the world in less time because of the help of internet wherein billions of computers are running and linking smoothly in the web. This could be the reason why I like sci-fi movies and I'm fun of predicting what would possibly happen in the future considering the inventions and situations of today.
Yes, new inventions are correlating with new lifestyles, but, I never forget the nice culture of the past. I just consider a timely revision of lifestyles. I don't forget and change something in the past that molded me to be here in the present highly technological world. Still I am the master of the machine, just like you. Our computers are just our slaves or instruments to mingle with people around the world in the digital highway of so numerous audio-visual information. Hence, to have a computer later with more upgraded features is one of my target now so that I could enjoy and communicate well locally and internationally.
Thank God for He is the same now, today, and tomorrow. Thanks to the inventors for making lives worthwhile. Thanks to "google.com" and the related links and servers for this opportunity. Thanks for the technological endeavors we have now and the years to come...
