Computer to Technology, Our future Business keeps developing to please their customers, but we are getting more and more greedier. We invent computers with the hope of dramatic productivity improvement, the hope that machine takes care of the pressure from human jobs. But looks who is more under pressure now. Computers are supposed to be our faithful servant, but looks who is that servant now. Productivity mounts, but see how pleased human is now. We do want to know more about nature, as curiosity is in our blood. Then we try to simulate, digitalize, model nature to our computers. We’re creating our own nature. And we are getting further from the real nature. Cannot deny how these advances contribute to science. But in my social view, instead of observing directly, we prefer to look at the nature through the screen. Technology is replacing sense. We can give distant kisses, have sex with a robot, chat with bots, etc. They're appealing huh? And we see people with their more completed version appearance through pictures on the social media. The relationship can be virtualized. Well, I do think we need to reconsider what is good and what is bad the technology may bring to human. We praise the convenience but ignore the overaffection, the silently growing manipulation. We're proud we are the one who controls, but looks who is in control now. Computer can stay for weeks without us, how about us? If we don't consider ourself addicted, then why do we constantly check the screen unnecessarily? Does it make us happy? Does it stimulate us? Our faithful servants please us to the extent that we have become faithful, obedient. In my last words, technology is becoming more and more influence in our lives and it's time for everyone to consider the use of it, not being distracted with the pride that we’re using it right and wise. Education should orient young generation how to utilize this so-far miraculous tool, as this tool could also be the great hypnosis to ignorance. Government stays wise on both sides of the impact of technology, direct its use to a better way for its people. I have watched Star Wars where I can witness a society with advanced technology but people are still the one who is in emotional control, not droids. Truly hope that’s our future. Thanks for following my verbose post, I wrote at 3:30 a.m with a mind in the sky. Truly appreciate your patience for reaching this end, I by my own may not achieve that of yours.

How do you think about the good side and the bad side of the Internet? Today I want to share my point of view about the Internet. I was inspired after reading this article www.theminimalists.com/internet/ and I also want to express my opinion toward the use of Internet or specifically, the social media. As many people wisely claim that "The Internet is good or bad not because it naturally is, but depends on how people use it". I think they imagine the Internet is like a knife, a gun or nuclear power which also has two sides of its use. Personally, I think this is terribly wrong. The light side and the dark side of nuclear power (I use this as an example) are distinctly different and so obvious that everyone clearly foresees the consequences if we use it in the good or wrong way. We utilize the potential of nuclear power to efficiently produce electricity for household use, fuel for aircraft carrier and submarine and more. At the mean time, we are also very vigilant on its danger so that every incident, like the Cuba missile crisis or Fukushima nuclear crisis, is taken into consideration with serious attitude. Unlike nuclear power, the line between good and bad use of the Internet is blurred and sometimes they blend. We usually praise the convenience the Internet brings but when talking about its negative affection, we seem to underestimate them. We ignore the truth that most of the time using Internet are purposeless, like wandering around social media, hilarious page then go to movie site and choose to watch a 2-hour film but eventually switch to another website after 10 minutes. Patience is a trait I think we are losing. Instead of taking time to fully comprehend a thing , we just easily switch to another page to continue being stimulated by the new. I used to wonder how we react when we finish reading a deep, touching article and then quickly jump to a hilarious, funny picture. Must be emotionally confusing or our nerve of feeling is just paralyzed to different circumstances. In conclusion, I just propose that we should be mindful about our use of Internet. Know what to do before turning on the computer. Reduce the number of time checking notifications. Trust me, if it's important they will call you right away, otherwise, checking it immediately is unnecessary. Without the Internet, there's a craving inside us at first but eventually, life still go on and our mind will be more focused and less fragmented so we have more time and force to achieve the meaningful things.

Short introduction Hi everyone, my full name is Trương Minh Triết (Triết Trương in form of American name). About myself I'm a junior at the university, majoring in IT. Simple goal of life: improve my value and quality, contribute to the society, make the world a better place (common quote from DC Universe). Being an introvert means I don't have many friends but in return I have an independent thinking. Being quiet, observing, careful listener. I find it special and valuable in this world of extrovert. I find ordinary person a jewel, and the jewel person to everyone seems to be ordinary to me. My English is at intermediate level but i think I haven't improved much since high-school graduation. Accidentally found this page, I have the opportunity to try new things, to use new English structure that I early acquire, to get out of my comfort zone in general. Hope we can have a conversation, and hope that conversation gonna advance further. I don't know how many small conversations have started and ended early which were a huge waste of time. Feel free to correct my writing. I appreciate your support. Thanks in advance.
