-虚拟领域 之 THE MATRIX- Sounds like a cool topic eh? If it is, means I 成功 already. Heh. Anyway, the above mentioned is today's topic. For the sake of those without chinese software (you know who you are), the chinese words are "Xu1 Ni2 Ling3 Yu4", the virtual reality world.
Ok now, look back and recall. When is the last time you did not switch on your computer when you reach home? (Unless it's already on because you did not switch it off in the first place. Come on lah wanna play language game with me right. And I know you can't read this blog without using your computer loh.) When did you start to rely on this little (take a deep breath before you read the next long word) TV-like machine-with-a-huge-heavy-box for your every needs?
Be it COMMUNICATION, MSN, Friendster, ICQ, MIRC, Voice Chat(only if you have a properly working microphone -.-); ENTERTAINMENT, playing games, listening to songs, surfing porn; PROJECT WORK, admit it, this is just an excuse for you to engage in the 2 above mentioned activities. You still have to depend on this (breathe again) TV-like machine-with-a-huge-heavy-box.
CommunicationCredit to the programmers of messenger and chat services. Humans have evolved from sending pigeon mail, commonly known as 飞鸽传书; the postman (still around today), who for some cases always being depicted as the guy who 被狗追 for doing his job; after Alexander Graham Bell (shall skip the telegram or this is gonna get draggy), the telephone; after Nokia, the cellphone (haha I know Nokia did not invent the cellphone, but when half the globe is using the same brand, who cares); and now *drumsroll* THE COMPUTER.
Just like any good GP essay, there's always the 2 sides to a coin (废话actually, unless they really think there's 3). Good: 1) You now can "talk" to many many many many people all at the same time (only if you can handle and not overlook 1 of the many people you are "talking" to). And seriously, do you really believe the person that you fancy typing "I'm only chatting to you now" and be happy about it? Wake up 醒醒啊! 2) You can always "say the right thing". You will always have time to think before you type, and even check through before pressing the "enter" button. Unless.. Unless you are those who think it's a chore to think (but you are already thinking if you are thinking about it being a chore to think if you get what I mean) or you are a person whose fingers have a mind of their own(kinda scary). 3) You can hide your embaressments and blushings while talking to the person you admire while dropping hints and see how it goes. If it turns sour, or semi-sour, you can always type the all-powerful sentence "Haha! I am only joking la!" and start crying in front of your monitor.再接再厉, 明天会更好！ Bad: 1) Health definitely! You don't open your mouth the whole time and the germs start germinating in this warm and damp hole of yours and when you actually do open it, holy god you will wonder what's that awful stench. Fret not though, I have already devised a simple YET effective solution: Just close your mouth. 2) Relationship (ahhah, everyone's favourite chapter yea?). Long long time ago, it was 相亲 and happily(or unhappily) ever after. As time goes by, 抛眉眼 and electricity comes in, then you go to the movies, then flowers.. and a wedding ring! Tell Laur(sorry 失态了it's not a karaoke session). Not so long ago, it's 搭讪 ask for number, sms, then phone call, then movies, then flowers... You know how the story goes. NOW, you have to 抛眉眼 then 搭讪, ask for number but instead gives you MSN, then get number and start smsing, and after considerable improvement on the relationship, then start to chat on the phone, then the movies flowers and finally the wedding ring. Sheesh man, when did it start to get so complicated. The government really should'nt blame us on the low birthrate, what i described was the full course, but many may have died along some part on the way and became Martyrs of Love 爱的殉教者!
Entertainment 1)Gaming "Call me god! kN* fu*k*rS. You losers. I am the best because I own you all. My skills are so good and I have this item called the Monkey God Golden Bar aka 定海神针 之 金箍棒 to wipe your whole dead cat p*ssy team out man! I am GODLIKE!" Hey people, meet my friend here, the 5-time World Cyber Games WCG Champion in WarCraft. His alias is The^King and he is well-known throughout the gaming world. His presence alone makes his teammates 喜出望外 while his enemies 闻风丧胆. Meet my friend John. I know it feels good to be better than others. It's also good to be passionate and skillful in the things you enjoy. But there comes a day when you unroot yourself to step out from your room to go down get lunch when you get sick from Mac-Delivery. 卖鸡饭Auntie won't 加肉without 加钱even if you told her you are ACTUALLY a WINNER, THE^KING in Warcraft. Virtual Reality may be your reality, but it may not be Reality for say.. 楼下卖鸡饭的Auntie. By the way, 鸡饭加肉is $3. Aunties like this don't exist. Ok maybe they do, but the shirt she wears doesn't. 2)Songs and ETC Aiyah, need me to explain what are songs meh? I know you are more interested in that huge et cetera beside right? On lonely nights when you feel comfortable and relaxed and feel the need to IMPROVE yourself, your computer would be your kind helping friend. Searching INFO on search toolbars are as easy as 123. Browsing and surfing, you find a GOOD WEBPAGE. Then you start working out, breaking in mild perspiration, then it gets hotter and the sensations come in stronger and then you go "OH GOD uuuggghh ohhh OOOOWWW!! ahhhhh...!" Finally you realised you cramped your abs muscle. You searched for "crunches and situps for the ultimate abs" in the toolbar didn't you? 心知肚明 enough already. Enjoy huh.
Projectwork(or schoolwork or homework or work or whatever term you give it to make it sound professional) As I've mentioned earlier, if I were you parents or older siblings who want to use the computer, I would appreciate you be more creative to tell me something like if you don't use the computer, you may not get the Girl/Guy you've been ogling for some time. And they also know the alt-tab alt-tab trick. In short. It's crap really. Projectwork? Haha.
Conclusion Congrats in making this far as I'm really not confident with myself in capturing your attention throughout such a long blog entry. I usually post sentences instead of articles. Anyway, I would apologise if I have ever given the impression that I'm a Anti-Computer-Weirdo-Alienic-Entity. I'm not, really. And thanks to my computer this entry is published. What i would like to conclude is that the computer is a tool, a double edged sword yadda yadda yadda. It is how you use it, and whether you are the master of your tool or you are the slave of your tool is really none of my business. That's it then.
