Human or robot

This holiday are filled with assignments and exams. All these eat much of my time and I barely have my leisure moments. When I was doing my assignments I was thinking, why do we need to do all the hectic work? Do we really learn something from the assignments?

For me the answer is no. Nowadays students are like robots, doing whatever their lecturers ask for, the aim for students to go to universities has changed. Last time, people go to schools to gain knowledge, but now we are all here for a certificate, a paper which can guarantee us to get a better pay.

What we do is just sit in front of the computers and keep typing. We are facing a non-human thing to do our job. We have no interaction with a human at all when we are doing assignments, that is what makes us less human now.

Even in the class, we cannot say whatever we like, because not all the lecturers can accept our point of view. I am not saying that everyone of them is like that, but from what I see, at least a few of them are like that. This makes the students inferior because they are afraid of making the lecturers angry and the latter will take actions towards them.

Students does not have to be treated in this way. We are not robot, we are human!

Evolution of phones

Had an interesting class few days ago when lecturer taught me the evolution of the phones. I am surprised to see the 1st Generation phone, it is very huge and inconvenient to carry around. But thanks to technology, now we have a smaller phone design that enable us to put them into pockets or handbags.

Regarding to my previous post, although the functions of phones are not being fully utilized by people, however, it invents something helpful too. For example, we use Whatsapp, Wechat, Tango, Viber and so many more applications to connect with our beloved. Moreover, we can search information online whenever we need to, without the need to use a big-sized desktop. Meaning to say, the latest information are with us all the time.

Professionals even use phones to do analysis or do their drawings. We cannot deny that they can have fantastic works too on their phones. I also think that phones has given us the leisure time as we can download games from phones and play.

However, as a rational human being we need to know when to use the handphones and when not to. Overuse of the technology devices might give us negative impacts in our life.
