October 22nd, Year 2009 was my last post in this blog. I was fascinated with the articles that I wrote 6 to 7 years ago. If today there was a time machine that can bring you back to alter the history of your life, which specific date, time or events that you would visit & why? Will you plan to change the history so that today you are in better place? Anyway, this is not the blog related to science fiction or “interstellar movie” kind of game changer or fairy tale story. Nevertheless, I think it is always good to revisit isn’t it?
I still can remember vividly that Nokia was the top-selling mobile phone, company top-level executives were complaining about the blackberry phone that still receiving email during off from job. Many of us stopped working when we left the desktop computers. No android, iPhone or smart phone during that time. Over the years, the smart phone, internet, social media, networking, connectivity grows tremendously that believe has change our life totally. Today we are more engaged with the world.
The rising of apps, 24/7 internet, MOOC, e-learning, interactive learning platform, LMS, M-learning & etc. create learning opportunity anywhere, anytime as long as you wanted to. Just a touch on the palm, Mr. Google can tell you anything you want to know. Hence, it is logical to believe that learning curve on any individual is curving exponentially if not steep. We are sucking into the wave that made you learn new things everyday. So, we are the luckiest generation who experience this massive civilization’s change.
However, my observation on the society today tell me another story. The above only hold true for those people who know how to utilize it wisely to spur learning, I guess.
Lot of individuals are addicted to the online game, game apps on the phone, especially those youngster. Not to mentioned online gambling platform. You can imagine how much time is wasted in playing game instead of learning new skills, reading a book, meeting new people, playing sport or etc.
I am reluctant to write for the rest. Example, watching online movie, gossip in social media, browse pornography content & etc…..
How many of us really make use of it at it convenience to read book, articles that useful & provoke cognitive thought process & etc….
We should pick up the skills, knowledge, ability that required to enable us to create value & grow to the world, to yourself, to family, society, company & etc. For me, that is worth investing.
I will respect your decision and justification if you think that continue improve the skills of playing online game, phone game apps…. Please go ahead if you think it create value & grow.
