Word of Caution

Things posted here can (and will) induce violent reactions. Just be reminded that these things are my opinions and not in any way (or necessarily be) the general truth. Comment on the post if you have any reactions. I do not moderate the comments because you are entitled to your own opinions with your right to freedom of speech.

Furthermore, some topics may not be appropriate for you, depending upon your beliefs(primarily), strength of faith in your religion and your character integrity.

I usually disobey normal writing ethics by writing with a complete bias on one side because absolute objectivity, I believe, can never be attained.

You have been warned.

more, More, MORE!!

What are mobile phones for? SMS'ing and calling.
What are cars for? Transportation.
What are televisions for? Watching movies or your favorite TV program.
What are computers for? Doing office work and a bit of entertainment.

Why would you need an iPhone when you can have a 2k phone that does the job? ... tell me.
Why would you need a Ferrari or BMW when you can have a Volkswagen that brings you where you go? ... tell me.
Why would you need a Wide-screen, super thin LCD TV when you can watch it all the same in a CRT TV? ... tell me.
Why would you need all that extra computing power and that savy graphics card when all it does is make entertainment seem like work to you? ... tell me.

You don't need a mobile phone that does everything.. because if you lose that, would you have nothing then?
You don't need a very good car just to go somewhere else.. because if you lose that, what good is it for you?
You don't need a very big TV just to watch a show.. because if someone breaks into your house, would you lay your life on the line for it?
You don't need that good PC.. because if you did, what would happen to those you don't need anymore?

Everyone of us loses sight of what's important. Education, physical fitness, companions and other immaterial things. We never become content. We just want more.. More.. and MORE!! and we want it now. We're all spoiled brats. There are just some more spoiled than the others.

well yeah, we dont need any of it but the bare essentials..but hey, some people just want it, and the trouble comes when they start sacrificing what's important for their own whims. just putting in my two cents worth :P

i've always said new technology is always mostly for show, haha :P
