Handphone, Bliss or Menace?

This is the era of technology, the days of modern civilization, the time for globalization! Handphone cannot be neglected when we talk about the modern era.

By now, it has been several years since cell phones were invented. The discovery really gives big impact to the society, their communication, their time management, and their lifestyle. As cheaper cell phones has been massively created, even small children nowadays might bring cell phone inside their pocket. To school kids, Secondary boys and girls, to the class of businessman and higher-ups, cell phones have been an essential thing.

Now, back to our topic. Is it actually a menace or a bliss? I am particularly neutral, so I will now reveal how phones can become a bliss or menace.

The first one , as a bliss. How it can be a bliss? It is mostly because of its contribution to our daily life and scientific improvement. Now, our communication within this grandly designed world is lots easier. We don't even need to travel within country just to get a chit-chat. A few steps to pick up our handphones, and that's it! Maybe "It's a kind of magic." Besides communication, now handphones have such features we might have never expected. The so called "Bluetooth", for instance. It gives us access to other phones' data and can even transfer them. Musics and videos are no exception. It really adds color to our life.

The second one, as a menace. This is clearly shown in Dave Barry's article, "Ban Cellphones-unless you're attacked by a giant squid." Read it, and it explain most of the things on you.

Now , reconsider and write your comment on it. Which one do you tend to bend to? Do you think it should be banned, or improved even more instead?

Marriage or Money!?

Marriage issue nowadays have become very popular. Most people now have their right to choose their own coupe. If we reminisce, in past years couples were chosen by their parents. There are still some cases similar with those of past years, though, but not as much.

Ironically, lots of people don't make good use of this right of theirs. Money has now become priority. Referring to the passage by Irene Ng, My View, business is now above marriage. The reasons are reasonable and we cannot blame them for it. They want to grant happiness to their children through wealth. Yet, are you sue they will get jubilant life on wealth?

Another case it be when we are married yet we're still unsure about our income. How long will it lasts? Our husband and/or wife can be very monetarily demanding. Before marriage, they might be satisfied with what we have at the moment, yet after marriage, it all may become upside down. Have you ever imagine how painful can it be when your world turns upside down just because of economical problem?

Those two cases really drop us into the state of dilemma. Some people might even give up on it before trying. This is what really happens in the world nowadays, and the solution is yet to be known. It is almost impossible for us to know all about our partner before marriage really occurs, and when it already happens,there's no turning back. We cannot know how bad they are in the inside, and how demanding they can be. Which way will you particularly choose and what solution can you suggest to this particular case?

Terrorism

This is the topic now, btw... Terrorism is related with social issue. Well, lately, these kind of things just keep increasing among the human population.In Singapore, the latest issue is on Mas Selamet. He is reported to have been fleeing from a rehabilitation center by the toilet. This is quite strange since he was reported to be guarded by a quite large sum of personnel. Wonder why? The posters regarding his presence are already being spread all over. MRT Station, newspapers, and even RI Boarding! Well, most of them say the same thing, though.Anyway, this is not the first time terrorist escape, or terrorism happens. Nowadays, terrorism is global, whether it is open to public or still unrevealed. From my country, terrorism had happened more than once. Bom Bali, for instance, had happened twice.The impact of terrorism is bigger than what we can imagine. In smaller scale, it might only affect one person whereas in bigger scale, it might affect the whole world. This particular case of Mas Selamat, in my opinion, has only been national issue so far, but if this case is being neglected, i think the case will grow to the point where it may concern other states as well.The next question I'll be asking is, will the world b eable to wipe terrorism out?In my opinion, the answer is a no-no. Even if, let's say, they can wipe out all the big terrorist, but how about the small scaled ones? There is big possibility that the small ones will become bigger, replacing the last ones...Well, I think that's it for the moment. If there's anything u want to discuss, please leave a comment. Thanks!
