I happened to stumble upon a news about how a man died from 19 hours of non-stop computer games yesterday while my father was watching his daily news at 10.30pm. News like this does not shock or surprise me anymore as it was frequently reported in the news. I cannot understand what so fascinating about computer games. Maybe it is because I have never been introduced to the world of computer games but really? 19 whole hours of non-stop video games? Its really too much. And the worst part is some manage to exceed the 19 hour duration.
If I am being honest, i would say it scares me, to know that the misuse of technology has brought us so much harm despite its benefits. It also made me realize how much the world has changed. My parents are not too fond of all this technology stuff especially smart phones. They always thought that dinner time is a special time where we could all talk and chit chat and stuff. Therefore, my dad does not allow my sister and I to use our phones during meal time even while waiting for the food to arrive. If we use our phone a little bit too long, he would ask us to keep our phones away. They too always comment on how parents often use their smart phones and i-pad to entertain their toddler causing them to be dependant to it since young age. I often wonder when I grow up, how will the world change and i hope it is for the better.
