When men have become tools of their tools, technology comes
with side effects- family destruction, moral breakdown, intelligent
deterioration, social isolation, and you name it. At last, I might still stick
with my smartphone, but instead I lost my survival skills and become more vulnerable.
For a long period of time, peoples' main concerns were food and shelters. To
survive means to go out into the woods or forests from our cave and hung for
the food which the family needs to eat for the day. People of modern societies
never think about hunting for food or clothing. Now, it is all brought to
people instantly through a new standard of survival. The new standard for
survival means making money to go to a mall or supermarket and get everything a
family needs. A family can get food and clothing at these places without ever
having to go into the forest. This thought is ever so frightening. When a
person from the modern society goes into a supermarket and buys a pound of
fish, he or she doesn't even think of the process that went into the arrival of
the fish. He or she didn't need to go to fish, all they need was to drive to their
local supermarket and buy it. No fishing or hunting was necessary. Humans are
losing their sense of common purpose- a side effect of technologies…
I do my best to cover humanity, environment and life enhancement issues as well as life learning experience of Cantonese and Japanese. “Only if you have hope and know how to be satisfied.” "And remember the happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have."
