A specially-designated area, with a special backrest, low position handrails and a push button for signalling the intention to alight, has been installed to make commuting on public transport more comfortable for passengers in wheelchairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These features are being introduced on all new SBS Transit buses, in line with the recommendations by the Committee on Ageing Issues last Wednesday to make all new public buses low-floor, step-free for easy boarding and alighting and wheelchair-accessible. (Comfortdelgro, 2006.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I came across this article some days ago; it is about this disabled man who wanted to take a WAB bus from Gleneagles Hospital to Dhoby Ghaut. He regretted it saying it was a big mistake, getting his care giver to push him to Orchard MRT would have been faster and cooler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said that he waited an hour plus for a service ‘WAB’ bus and that four service 7 non-WAB buses came within that hour. He felt it was ironic because during that hour, the four non-WAB service buses were using ‘WAB’ buses.&lt;br /&gt; On the surface, it may seems to help the disabled greatly, however, its only to a small extent. How about the mute and the deaf? Does WAB helps them too?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, WAB do not come on a regular basis. As mention above in paragraph two, the poor man has to wait an hour in the hot sun just to get on a slightly more accessible bus to him. This is so unfair to him and the other handicap people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it still can be made better, in a sense improving the facilities so that more disabled people will choose to take buses instead of the expensive taxi to get from one place to another.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6824734233071106878-8757911541385058776?l=everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/feeds/8757911541385058776/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/05/buses-for-handicaps.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/8757911541385058776'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/8757911541385058776'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/05/buses-for-handicaps.html' title='Buses for the handicaps'/><author><name>Wallabe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04783709393729084438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824734233071106878.post-2122761899535328941</id><published>2009-05-09T19:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-09T20:08:27.916-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Air Conditioner VS Fan</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Well, I will go straight to the point since it obvious what are the pros of air conditioner and fan.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Air condition, many houses are installed with them and few are not switching them on now, in the scorching weather lately. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Although the environmentalist have been calling out to the whole world to cut down the CO2 emission, not many response to their calls due to the scorching weather and habits. Many people knows that switching on the air conditioner is not very environmental friendly as they uses high amount of electricity and releases harmful gases as well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SgY6lJcVVDI/AAAAAAAAAEE/1JnLx4nmjss/s1600-h/DSC03899.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334015218531259442" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SgY6lJcVVDI/AAAAAAAAAEE/1JnLx4nmjss/s320/DSC03899.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;However, the reason why these people continue using air conditional is because of habits, routine and dependent on them. Some children are growing in the environment whereby air conditioner is always there for them. Hence, it becomes an expensive habit and they are not used to places whereby there's no air-conditioner. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;For routine, teens, espcially poly and university, are slowly getting used to the routine that their lecture rooms/halls are equipped with air-conditioner.

It is usually used to maintain core social networks, particularly when alters live at a distance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E-mail is beneficial because it aids to provide a way to exchange information between two of more people with no set-up costs and that is generally far less expensive than physical meetings or phone calls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Users can also decide when and how much time they will spend dealing with any associated information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, e-mail can lead to some well-known problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loss of Content - which means that the context is lost forever, there is no way to get the text back.&lt;br /&gt;Information overload - E-mail is a push technology — the sender controls who receives the information. Convenient availability of mailing list and the use of "copy all" can lead to people receiving unwanted or irrelevant information of no use to them.&lt;br /&gt;Inconsistency - Emails can duplicate information. This can be a problem when a large team is working on documents and information while not in constant contact with the other members of their team for business unit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, because of the very low cost of sending email, spammers can send hundreds of millions of email each day over and inexpensive Internet connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite these disadvantages, e-mail has become the most widely used medium of communication within the business world. Hence, letters are losing their value as people acquire fast and efficient mails instead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6824734233071106878-2590826131101681313?l=everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/feeds/2590826131101681313/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/05/email-entertainment.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/2590826131101681313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/2590826131101681313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/05/email-entertainment.html' title='Emergency Mail Or Enslaved Mail'/><author><name>Wallabe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04783709393729084438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SgN6PJlms9I/AAAAAAAAAD8/D5MOfk9_Kok/s72-c/mail.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824734233071106878.post-2744438323683274381</id><published>2009-05-03T09:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-03T10:34:46.461-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Download – Receive and Save?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;What comes to your mind when you first thought of a movie?&lt;br /&gt;Are you willing to spend at least $6 to a maximum cost of $10 for a movie ticket?&lt;br /&gt;Are you willing to spend your precious time amid the crowd to queue up for those tickets?&lt;br /&gt;Or do you simply switch on your computer system and download the desired movie?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I probably think that most of us here today will choose to download movies and/or songs and not to spend money on such short term entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever wondered whether it was safe to open a file attached to an e-mail sent by your friend or to get your favourite screensaver from the Web, or download music or video files?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me now share with you people the advantages and disadvantages of downloading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The few advantages are that it is convenient. Yep, convenient!&lt;br /&gt; As long as you have an internet connection, you can start your downloading process anywhere by a means of a computer system or a device which can access “Wi-Fi”. It also saves time.&lt;br /&gt; Downloading the items that you want is faster and much more efficient than going out to purchase those things personally. It is also fool-proofed! It is easy to download and not complicated at all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure! Downloading movies and audio files online have its conveniences and advantages. However we must remember that it is illegal! That’s right it’s illegal!&lt;br /&gt;Most of the websites if not all websites that provide free downloads are illegal.&lt;br /&gt;Secondly there is a risk of having computer viruses creep into your systems unknowingly. You may not know that the various downloads will contain virus, viruses known as Trojan horse, Worm and other Spywares.&lt;br /&gt;There is also the issue of copying Copyrighted materials, intrusion of piracy is on the line and if you are not careful, you may be sued over this.&lt;br /&gt;If we really love the movies and the actors in it, we should then continue to support them by going down to the movies and paying to watch them as they will then earn more and there may even be a sequel to the movie should viewership ratings hit a high.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember you have the choice to download or to take the right path down the road. But bear in mind that you need to bear the consequences should you really decide to download movies or audio files online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, what are you really burning?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6824734233071106878-2744438323683274381?l=everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/feeds/2744438323683274381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/05/download-receive-and-save.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/2744438323683274381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/2744438323683274381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/05/download-receive-and-save.html' title='Download – Receive and Save?'/><author><name>Wallabe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04783709393729084438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824734233071106878.post-5057752817165615958</id><published>2009-05-01T19:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-02T20:40:45.623-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Internet part B:</title><content type='html'>Hey&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc9933;"&gt;PEOPLE&lt;/span&gt;, glad you are still here. &lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;GUESS WHAT&lt;/span&gt;?! I will be touching on internet part B, a continuous from part A; &lt;span style="color:#999900;"&gt;However&lt;/span&gt;, not on the same topics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting from &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;CHATROOMS&lt;/span&gt;, the most common chat rooms-msn?? &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfvID292z-I/AAAAAAAAAD0/BbQPpVQtv4k/s1600-h/2333072630_7e72fee9d4_m.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331074552543236066" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 170px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfvID292z-I/AAAAAAAAAD0/BbQPpVQtv4k/s320/2333072630_7e72fee9d4_m.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;And what else??

Thus moving on to cons. If you guys haven’t notice, chat rooms can be pretty &lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;DANGEROUS&lt;/span&gt;. In what sense? Sometimes you do not even know the person you are talking too.&lt;br /&gt;It’s true. It happens to me most of the time. &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcc66;"&gt;Reason&lt;/span&gt;- people like to use all sorts of nicknames when they create their account. It is also highly accessible thus it is easy to get hold of other people accounts too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You get what I mean? &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfvIDbY4MZI/AAAAAAAAADs/BWWjAH2LyFE/s1600-h/196334572_65cc9885c6_m.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331074545140380050" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 164px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfvIDbY4MZI/AAAAAAAAADs/BWWjAH2LyFE/s320/196334572_65cc9885c6_m.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the time the people I add into my account are the people I think I can’t figure out who they are. &lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;THEREFORE&lt;/span&gt;, I appreciate people who use their own names to create their accounts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;FACEBOOK&lt;/span&gt; anyone?? Who doesn’t know facebook?? Facebook is just like tagged, Friendster, neopets etc. It is just another website for you to interact with your friends, strangers internationally. Some people get obsess with it, probably because of the games. I admit. I was a victim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;FUN&lt;/span&gt;?? Not really, but thrilling.&lt;br /&gt;Having the &lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;DESIRE&lt;/span&gt; to move from stage to stage, beating high scores, breaking records, winning trophies.&lt;br /&gt;Doing all this lame stuff aimlessly.&lt;br /&gt;Why don’t meet up with friends, have a gathering outside, eat out, chat, isn’t it much&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt; &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;healthier&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;? You get what I mean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"&gt;Cyber bullies.&lt;/span&gt; Sounds familiar to you? Was a victim before? Bullies sounds like a big and powerful word to you, actually they are just &lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;COWARDS&lt;/span&gt;. Cyber bullies send e-mails or instant messages containing insults or threats directly to a person. They may also spread &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;HATEFUL &lt;/span&gt;comments about a person through e-mail, instant messaging or postings on Web sites and online diaries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to stop them? HONESTLY, I don’t know how. Only encouragement is to not to take it to heart. Let it not hurtyou-because they don’t mean anything. Main motives of cyber bullies, vent their anger, that’s it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;LOVE,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;Beryl:D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6824734233071106878-5057752817165615958?l=everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/feeds/5057752817165615958/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/05/internet-part-b.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/5057752817165615958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/5057752817165615958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/05/internet-part-b.html' title='Internet part B:'/><author><name>Wallabe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04783709393729084438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfvID292z-I/AAAAAAAAAD0/BbQPpVQtv4k/s72-c/2333072630_7e72fee9d4_m.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824734233071106878.post-8676605692030518670</id><published>2009-04-30T10:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-02T10:15:43.550-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A place with many different books.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfnrFA7XIKI/AAAAAAAAADU/_P34LQ-AyFI/s1600-h/library.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330550105350545570" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 160px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfnrFA7XIKI/AAAAAAAAADU/_P34LQ-AyFI/s320/library.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Have you been to the library before?

But years ago, when Internet is not available, how did the people then search for the information that they want? Through books in library? So why is it that people nowadays don’t go to the library?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Let’s list down the advantages and disadvantages…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Advantages&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;1) Internet is so much faster than searching through shelves and shelves of books.&lt;br /&gt;2) The problem of Copyrighting is not so serious in a library as compared to the internet. Seldom do u have someone who photocopies the whole book but you can definitely see people copying the whole webpage.&lt;br /&gt;3) Library is good as not all information can be found on Internet. Eg. Novels&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disadvantages&lt;br /&gt;1) There are many reference numbers for us to search for in the library, so many that we often give up searching for a particular book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;2) We might not be able understand how to read the reference numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;3) There might be a lot of time wastage just to search for that book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;4) Not every library has that particular book that you are looking for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;5) Books might not be available everytime you look for it. Other people might have borrowed it before you, causing a hassle to search in other libraries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfnrFPGRVmI/AAAAAAAAADc/wltuGAqqDvE/s1600-h/library1.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330550109154399842" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 160px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfnrFPGRVmI/AAAAAAAAADc/wltuGAqqDvE/s320/library1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So with this, there is no clear stand whether Internet of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Library is better. But if you want to search for history or knowledge’s, Wikipedia is a good source. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;If you love to read books, the library will probably be a good place to go.

Many parents or relatives may have given their children or others these machines as birthday present or as reward.&lt;br /&gt;If anyone asked me “what are some advantages of getting a play station or an Xbox”, I think the only answer would be it has a bigger screen.&lt;br /&gt;As for the disadvantages, I could just list them out; - Increase in myopia rate&lt;br /&gt;- Children may get addicted, hence it will affect studies&lt;br /&gt;- Not focus in class/work.&lt;br /&gt;- Children maybe introvert after a period of time (for extreme cases)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From a parent’s point of view, they rather have their kids get addicted to the games than them getting into trouble outside. Yes, to some, it succeeded in keeping them at home. However, not many are still interested after playing for a period of time. When kids get addicted, they have less opportunity to interact with their friends. Hence, in future, it would be difficult to adapt and live in new environment as they lack of social skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, I feel that kids should not play Play Station too much, especially children under age of 10. Although some parents may want to bind their children at home via games, it is still advisable by doctors and teachers that kids should spend more time outdoors than indoors.&lt;br /&gt;That’s what the new generation is lacking; outdoor time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6824734233071106878-2624974108151923690?l=everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/feeds/2624974108151923690/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/04/home-station-games.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/2624974108151923690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/2624974108151923690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/04/home-station-games.html' title='Home Station Games?'/><author><name>Wallabe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04783709393729084438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfUJkCmiWpI/AAAAAAAAACs/wLvBVq3Fsv8/s72-c/DSCN2891.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824734233071106878.post-7124345980130352504</id><published>2009-04-23T08:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-23T09:36:51.175-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Desktop &amp; Notebook (Laptop)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;As the technology advances, desktops are losing its footing to laptop in the market.

However, it is up to the user to decide the uses of them. Remember to take consistent breaks if you’re going to use the desktop/laptop for quite some time! Do some stretching!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfCUifEts6I/AAAAAAAAACU/xNfQzI5kQYY/s1600-h/26467307_0b0731a09b_m.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327921679357031330" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 160px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfCUifEts6I/AAAAAAAAACU/xNfQzI5kQYY/s320/26467307_0b0731a09b_m.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#33cc00;"&gt;(All photos taken from flickR)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6824734233071106878-7124345980130352504?l=everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/feeds/7124345980130352504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/04/desktop-notebook-laptop.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/7124345980130352504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/7124345980130352504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/04/desktop-notebook-laptop.html' title='Desktop &amp; Notebook (Laptop)'/><author><name>Wallabe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04783709393729084438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SfCUiePWAzI/AAAAAAAAACc/aQSk4UkLifQ/s72-c/1172675049_21f16a9341_m.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824734233071106878.post-1710568679123030163</id><published>2009-04-20T06:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-21T22:40:59.775-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Handy Games</title><content type='html'>Does this look familiar?

These handy games are pretty popular among the new generation, as young as 6 and as old as 60.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advantages of psp:- They help to kill time/boredom.-Fit in the trend.-Multi function purpose (can be a mp3 as well)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, it does have its disadvantages as well, such as:-Increase myopia-Become a hazard/nuisance to people around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me explain a bit more on ‘Become a hazard to people around’. When people start to play their handy games, most people, are paying more attention to their games than their environment. Hence, they put their own life at risk when they are playing their games every now and then, especially when they are crossing the roads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, how can playing psp be nuisance to people around? Well, it creates an amount of problem when people, especially teens, just stand next to the door of the train and refused to move inside the train. This is because they want something to lie on so that they can play their games. This causes obstruction to the people boarding the train.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite all the disadvantages, the new generations are still pretty addicted to them. I feel that the reason for the addiction is because of the consistent release of new and challenging games into the market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Handy games are good tools to kill time, but limit the usage and do not get addicted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SeyCLfP25PI/AAAAAAAAAB0/b7mzOwVJsYc/s1600-h/2706783340_04bdb13e66_m.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326775593150637298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SeyCLfP25PI/AAAAAAAAAB0/b7mzOwVJsYc/s320/2706783340_04bdb13e66_m.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;(taken from flickr)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6824734233071106878-1710568679123030163?l=everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/feeds/1710568679123030163/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/04/handy-games.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/1710568679123030163'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6824734233071106878/posts/default/1710568679123030163'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://everyone-is-using-it-at.blogspot.com/2009/04/handy-games.html' title='Handy Games'/><author><name>Wallabe</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04783709393729084438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/Se6tw5TYdTI/AAAAAAAAACE/1mBWmEEc37w/s72-c/Image007.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824734233071106878.post-255003299948481591</id><published>2009-04-17T18:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-18T09:45:03.137-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Entertainment-music</title><content type='html'>Feeling happy while listen to music?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SeoAlluHUfI/AAAAAAAAABU/YesnnP9m6tg/s1600-h/flickr15.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326070155099722226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SeoAlluHUfI/AAAAAAAAABU/YesnnP9m6tg/s320/flickr15.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;(photo taken from flickr)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Love itouch?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SelEuFQBWfI/AAAAAAAAAAs/2cKV5hudetY/s1600-h/flickr9.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325863592816368114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 160px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SelEuFQBWfI/AAAAAAAAAAs/2cKV5hudetY/s320/flickr9.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt; (photo taken from flickr)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Checking your phone while having breakfast?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326070162481348098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 184px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SeoAmBOB_gI/AAAAAAAAABk/vMigNgHqV5w/s320/flickr14.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;(photos taken from flickr)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Thank you for your continual support to this blog.

Point is, what is MP3?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Is it simply something for us to listen to music, watch video, record sound?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The term MP3 is actually a reference shortened from the official Moving Picture Experts Group-1 Audio Layer 3&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that MP3 was first proposed in 1979? And in 1988, a wide range of such hardware for speech is in the market. It took them so many years to produce an appliance that is able to transmit sound from a hardware to your ear. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;It took them so many years till it was able to demonstrate the first real time hardware decoding of compressed audio. And on July 7, 1994, it was the release of the first software MP3 encoder called I3enc. And the term MP3 is actually a filename extention that enabled many people to encode and play back MP3 files on their PCs (.mp3). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Because of the relatively small hard drives back then (~500 MB), compression was essential to store non-instrument based music for playback on computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;From the first half of 1994 through the late 1990s, MP3 files began to spread on the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Internet" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Internet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;. The popularity of MP3s began to rise rapidly with the advent of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Nullsoft" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullsoft"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Nullsoft&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;'s audio player &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Winamp" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winamp"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Winamp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; (released in 1997), and the Unix audio player &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Mpg123" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpg123"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;mpg123&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;. In 1998, the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Rio PMP300" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_PMP300"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Rio PMP300&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;, one of the first portable MP3 players was released, despite legal efforts by the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="RIAA" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;RIAA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In November 1997, the website &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Mp3.com" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mp3.com"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;mp3.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; was offering thousands of MP3s for free.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#cite_note-seattlepi-17"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;[18]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; The small size of MP3 files enabled widespread &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Peer-to-peer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;peer-to-peer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="File sharing" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_sharing"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;file sharing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; of music &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Ripping" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripping"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;ripped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Compact disc" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_disc"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;compact discs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;, which would have previously been nearly impossible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Is this something new to everyone here? From the history of MP3, it is very clearly stated that since the 90s, creating and sharing MP3s resulted in widespread copyright infringement. Since then, major record companies came up with a term called “music piracy”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, piracy started because of something called “Monkey see, Monkey do”.

The World is so big, yet we can actually contact other people in different part of the world! How is this possible? Through systems such as GPRS &amp;amp; Internet Broadband, this is advancement&lt;br /&gt;through the centuries to be able to reach people whom we can never reach if we were in the past.&lt;br /&gt;We can also collect datas and exchange knowledges simply surfing in the Internet. You can find almost anything that you can ever think of&lt;br /&gt;simply surfing the Internet. How great is that?!&lt;br /&gt;Although GPRS has helped us in many ways, it also has its disadvantages…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GPRS is able to locating cars and vehicles as a tracking device. So is it safe? Are you being tracked by people who you don't know?&lt;br /&gt;You’ll probably be questioning about this but yes! It’s true! There are cases whereby vehicles were stolen using this technology. Still not convinced?&lt;br /&gt;You can always surf the Internet’s news and plenty of such cases will be listed down for you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Are you being tracked?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325864760404553250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 161px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4U9JRFyi5CE/SelFyC2vLiI/AAAAAAAAAA8/BDLuzJS06_w/s320/flickr8.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;(photo taken from flickr)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Let us give you some ADVANTAGES &amp;amp; DISADVANTAGES of GPRS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;ADVANTAGES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;1) It’s a very convenient communication system used by millions of people.&lt;br /&gt;2) It enables us to locate our vehicles.&lt;br /&gt;3) Shortens time usage in conveying messages and many more…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;DISADVANTAGES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;1) Used for undesirable thoughts&lt;br /&gt;2) Unable to convey messages correctly and many more…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all the facts that we have listed down for you, make your own judgment…&lt;br /&gt;Does GPRS help you or harm you?

These posts maybe written based on theories, or what we think is happening. I’m sorry that any of the posts does not agree with your point of view. Hence, your feedback is important to us to write a better post in future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this modern society, it’s difficult not to have a phone. One has to consistently upgrade his phone in order to be in the trend. Hence, colourless phones and along with the first few generation of phone are not very common with the teenages or businessman now. Perhaps, it’s popular among the army guys?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I feel that the new generation is being controlled by the trend, by the features of a phone. Thus, it results in us changing of phone frequently.&lt;br /&gt;The keywords between controlled and being controlled are need and want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When one needs a phone, his world includes phone in his daily life. Soon, his life is being controlled by the phone. However, when one wants a phone, his world may and may not include phone. This is dependent on what is the role of the phone the user is giving to the phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are some able to live without a phone,while some seemed to be 'living' on their phones? Well, the reason is how much roles one give his phones. If you give your phone too much roles, your life will get controlled by it sooner or later. Phones are merely tools to smoothen our lives, thus, I feel that one shouldn’t get too dependent on them as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next post would be tracking devise.

The next moment, the user will check the phone and reply the sms. Nowadays, many people are using sms everyday. So, what does sms stand for?&lt;br /&gt;I bet many of my friends, including myself, do not know what it stands for. SMS actually stands for Short Messages Service. Some with humor, may think it stands for So Much Shorter or Singles Meet Single?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me ask this question to all handphone owners; How much sms do you use every day, week and in a month?&lt;br /&gt;For myself, I used on average of 20 sms per day, 250 sms per week and most of the time is under 800 sms every month. I’m sure this is some of the teenagers’ usage as well. There are many extreme cases where they used over 2000 sms every month, resulting to a bomb for their bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why some people are not able to use the sms within the limit given and others had exceeded the limit so much that results to a huge bill?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Pro of sms&lt;/span&gt;: Convenient, spread information quickly, cheap&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Con of sms&lt;/span&gt;: weakens language, not focus and results in laziness and huge bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do I mean by weakens language? When teens sms, they would use short forms. Some of the example are LOL( Laugh Out Loud), brb (Be Right Back) , gtg ( got to go) or tml (tomorrow). These short forms hinder them from learning the full form of words and the right grammars. Thus, it weakens their language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SMS is useful at times, an excellent tool provided one do not overuse it and become obsessed with it. Well, I observed some ‘sms-obsession’ symptoms.-Check your phone every now and then (15 to 30minutes)-playing with your phone-stare at the phone very often-carries the phone around anywhere you go&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This list may not be all true, but if you find yourself to have one of the symptoms, be careful! Remember, SMS is just a tool to help you not to harm you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In the next post, I’ll be summarizing on the features of phone.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;form action="http://poll.pollcode.com/qgsF" method="post"&gt;&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="150" bgcolor="#eeeeee" background="http://pollcode.com/images/bg/gray_stripe_horiz.gif" border="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;How many sms you send per day?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="5"&gt;&lt;input type="radio" value="1" name="answer"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"&gt;0.

The technology has become so advanced that there are so many variety of phones in the market now. When I walked on the streets of Orchard Road, I would always see businessmen or teenagers, holding one handphone in their hands, calling or texting their friends from time to time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me post this question to all who owns a phone, regardless colourless or coloured phone. What if one day, your handphone is spoilt, along with your Sim card, are you still able to contact your friends?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason why I posted that question is because this is an illustration that people are too dependent on technology nowadays. Some may say that they had another copy of the contacts in a book. However, how many people actually have another set of backup copy? Even for myself, I do not have a backup copy when my phone died on me a few days ago.&lt;br /&gt;These would be some common replies when I asked teenagers do they keep a backup copy of their contacts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: Huh? Copying contacts out in a book? So old biang (old version)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B: it’s so troublesome. I rather ask my friends send me their numbers again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are some of the common replies. Even though the technology is very advanced now, handphone still have its expiry date and eventually spoilt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No doubt, saving contacts in phone is easy and convenience. In addition, user can call his friends anywhere at any time. Saving contacts in phone brings convenience to people. However, what happened if our phones are spoilt without a warning. When the phone is spoilt, the contacts in the phone may be lost when the user sent it for repair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this situation, most of us would grumble that the phone bringing them so much inconvenience .However, how many exactly reflected about why the breakdown of phone brought so much problem? In the past, before handphone was invented, people lived well without handphones. Why would a handphone affect a person’s life so much? Is it because people depend too much on it or has people slowly become enslaved by the muilt-functions of a phone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I feel that people has gotten used to the multi functions of the phone and thus, making us too dependent on the phone. When the phone is spoilt, some of the people feel helpless and frustrated. Many would send the phone for repair immediately, maybe a small number find to be not a problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s a few ways to prevent losing your contacts. Here’s two ways:- Copy them out in a book.- Print them out from your phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's as if the technology can sense the users' needs for phone. Why do I say so? This is because when one relies on the phone too much; the phone will break down, driving the user mad. Well, I find it pretty true when my phone suddenly breaks down just when I need to use it to do my project work.&lt;br /&gt;In short, phones are tools to help people’s life, not to add trouble to life when they are spoilt. Do you find that you’re dependent on your phone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the next post, I’ll be posting about the sms (short messages services) of phone, the number of sms per day might be scarey that even yourself would not know it.How much u have sms today?Try counting it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;form action="http://poll.pollcode.com/pX7P" method="post"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="150" bgcolor="#eeeeee" background="http://pollcode.com/images/bg/green_stripe_horiz.gif" border="0"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Could you remember your friends contact numbers without a phone?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;td width="5"&gt;&lt;input type="radio" value="1" name="answer"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"&gt;Yes! of cause. i have super memory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;td width="5"&gt;&lt;input type="radio" value="2" name="answer"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"&gt;No!
