TECHNOLOGY CREEPS ME OUT.

Dear people, 


Hello how are you? I know its been long time since the last time i updated my blog :p But here my little thought of a case that tickle me or even creeps me out. 

So on my lazy Sunday i watched the video above. The video's provided by Youtube and made and published by TheFineBros on June 1st 2014. I've been subscribe them since 1,5 - 2 years behind. Basically they film video about reactions of some age groups such as Kids, Teens, and Elders and see their reactions about one case spontanously. I do like their channel because i could see how diferent age range react in particular case. 

So there is something i want to share about the video above me. The video is about teens react to commercial/tutorial video about how to use Internet and email back in 90s. Most of them are confusing and laughing how could they (90s peoples) need to be taught by how using Internet. They were born in Internet era, so was i. But instead of laughing like them i was thinking ''oh man how was life in 90s actually?'' and "dang, Technology has been growing massive!". I was born in '93 so i'm like 20s kids i wasnt introduced the internet until like 2000s. And im so greatful by being introduced by the internet, not gonna lie! :p 

So Let's just appreciate their struggles back in the time instead of laughing at it. I'm happy and grateful to be born in this Internet era, everything is easier, A LOT easier. We could find anything we could ever imagine to look for in Google. We could know international or national news even faster than one comes from TV and even more acurate with facts. We could watch music video on Youtube like ''Youtube is like my new television!". Well actually for me yes, i've 'dumped' my TV in my room and surf on Internet most of the time. You could ask my dorm friends. I've dumped the TV isn't only because Internet is better but also because TV programs even news become worse than before, depressing news, politics and lack of inspirational programs. (Sorry not to sorry TV).   

But as a Uni student the most important of Internet is I could make my assignments way faster than my mom or dad did by getting TONS of sources on Internet. It also gives me or us a great chance to become hijackers. BUT again it backs to ourself again, are you that stupid to just copy the info from Internet without understanding and using your own words? Its like pretending to keep walk away when Jack Gylennhall or Brad Pitt wave at you and ask you out with dozen of rose buckets on his hands! I meant we have been spoiled by Internet, thanks for keep spoiling me, but we dont appreciate the internet itself and the contents of it. 

Technology will be always developing and growing, somehow it creeps me out. It does. Lets imagine what if in the future people dont talk with each other again directly and using cam-thingy application? what if people dont go out of their house to meet people or even not get off from their chair? Because i've seen quite much symptoms of it today. Also their skins are getting paller, become more shy, or lose their ability to talk and face people! I'm just thinking the worst. 

Once i was angry and impatient with my Mom when she asked about Internet stuff or computer stuff. She barely understood and learned fast. But then i was thinking its like teaching your baby how to walk, (wait i havent had a baby! but you know what i meant). I said sorry for being like that to her on the same day, cuz i felt bad. 
But now I'm thinking, Am i ready for the future technology? or I might be like my Mom or even my Granny now think about nowadays technology?.  WIthout any doubt we will be like our Mom and Granny in the future so instead of mocking or underestimate their lack of techonology back in their time, lets just appreciate and embrace the future technology together. Who wants to be laughed when you are old and lack of knowledge of future technology?  
Everything could becomes beyond possible as we expect today and it does creeps me out.
