SH*T!

As I have observed, posts with disturbing curses as titles get more views rather than those boring, too-formal-titled posts. I don't really get why people would bother to read such messages instead of the useful ones, they won't benefit from it nor will they earn honor.

I can't remember since when have I been addicted in using the internet and be so dependent in technology; using smart phones, laptops, digital cameras, etc., for as what I remember my childhood years are simple, I play outside on our yard, play with dolls, read children's book, watch teletubbies and other things a typical child would do. The scariest thing would be my mother's scoldings and that my toys will be placed somewhere I don't know.

But the question is, what does a typical child do in today's modern world? would they still be playing with lame dolls or trucks? or PSPs, Ipods, and other gadgets are their best friends now?

Kids are suppose to play the normal way, participating in various physical activities, nourishing their selves with knowledge from a little adventure in the garden and learning the right manner and behavior. But I have noticed, that instead of doing those things, they already have gadgets to accompany them. I remember my 3 year old cousin having a PSP, he doesn't go to school yet, but he owns such a good thing.

I really do not have a grudge against using the technology, for I too, is dependent on it. But what I hate the most is the irresponsible use of the internet. Everyone, I really mean EVERYONE can use the internet regardless of what age you are, it is accessible anywhere and anytime. But why is that, people chose to post or share some explicit materials on the net knowing that children or teens might see it? Why can't we be responsible enough?

Gathering information is just a few type and one click away too, but sadly, we can't be sure if it's genuine, for anyone can manipulate it. Technology really made are life easy by providing the services we need. We just need to remember that we should think of the consequences of our actions.

And lastly, as we progress, and the technology goes beyond imagination, what will become of our God given gifts, talents and skills if we were just to depend on our silly man made materials? Will we still have our traditions or just like the Aztecs, will we perish and become a part of the history?
