Technology

In this growing society, technology also starts to improve for the better of human; it is inevitable that people will get addicted to technologies like televisions and the internet. It is also inevitable that things like technologies have to be used in education to both learn and do homework like what I am doing now.

I think that having technology around us is a good thing- it makes our lives easier and helps us to relax and enjoy our free time. However, we cannot trust technology too much as there could be still error in the technology like when u are doing your schoolwork and the computer just shut down without you saving, that is very irritating; or like in the factories when the packaging goes wrong then there will be trouble. Such situation can be like in the movies when technology turns against human when it malfunctions or some evil guy use them to do evil stuff. Such situation can happen in real life like the conflict about nuclear weapons, due to the high technology, such conflict can happen and result a terrible ending.

However, many people begins to get addicted to technology, it is like their life, without them they cannot do work or they cannot relax or enjoy their free time, it seems like technology has become their souls. But I think this should be stop and not get addicted as they can give you problems.

YOG

Recently, Singapore has finally hosted the first Youth Olympics, it is of great honour and a great opportunity to showcase what Singapore is capable of doing. In the youth Olympics opening ceremony as you can see from the above picture, it is a very grand opening to showcase Singapore in a very positive way. And the performance on that day was simply spectacular; they combine every culture of in Singapore and use them for the performance. Some even say that the youth Olympic games opening ceremony was even better than the National Day Parade.

Such an opening ceremony can give visitor from other countries to think that Singapore can be very capable and potential to host another big event like this no matter how small our country is. As a Singaporean, I am proud to say that Singapore has done a great job in the preparations for example the give way signs on the road.

As I heard from the news, Singapore has currently achieved one silver and a bronze, in the 35th position. GO Singapore!!!!

The Devil And Miss Prym Book Review

Recently, I read a book named “The Devil And Miss Prym”. This book is about a stranger who came to this village called Viscos and he came to this village to find answers: “whether human are born evil or good?” This stranger works at a weapon manufacturing factory; he has always followed the law and never does illegal trading. Then, one day his family member was captured by terrorist and they proposed for a trade of weapons. In the end, his family members died in the incident and he wander whether God is fair, as he has always been a good person and thinks that God is treating him unfairly. This story comes to a conclusion that, humans have the same instincts- Good and Evil struggled in both of them, just as they did on every soul on the face of the Earth.

I agree with what the conclusion is, that all human have the potential to be both Good and Evil, and that both side will not stop fighting till the other side is completely exterminated. There are evil in everyone mind just like in the story the villagers real intention was to get the gold bars the strangers is going to give if a murder was committed. However, there is also good in the person, strangely, the good side appears to the person in strange ways, like for the story, it comes in a form of fear-the fear of consequences that the villagers faced. Picture human like a pistol, somehow it is not fully built for evil, it can also be used for good. The bullets can be the good and the evil and the trigger is the choice human makes. The bullets serves as a purpose, it can be used for good like saving people; it also can be used for evil like using it to kill innocent people. And the choice human makes determines whether he is good or evil. So I think that all human have a good side and a evil side, it is the choice people makes that makes him good or evil.
