Technology -ve side

Many out there will be praising technology as bringing us more comfort and ease to our lives. But what are the side effects? No doubt technology is great and bring us closer together and communication now is at our hand. I'm typing my blog here also because of the advancement of technology. I'm not denying it.

Only realize it today when i went out dinner after work and my phone is not functioning well. Do not know why my w910i does not ring nor vibrate. It happen before a few days ago when i was in office. The phone disfunctioned and shut down by itself. It happen again yesterday when i went out dinner after work and my dear is unable to get hold of me. She worried about me and i did not know she called so many time until i get back home and realize my phone is off. Of coz she's angry.

Then i realize that we rely on technology too much. When technology is not functioning then we might not function also. It reminds me of the time when i'm young my house do not have a phone and we have to share the phone at my grandparents house next door. Whenever there is a call they will shout for us and we have to run over to my grandpa house to answer the call. Still remember the phone number 805467.

Was wondering how things can be so peaceful and not much people argue about appointment or getting hold of a person. Now with mobile phone seems like there is more arguement compared to last time. Does this make us more civilize?? Are we thinking more rationally with technology in our hands? We have lesser crime rates last time and life is more peaceful. Now we have news as crazy as getting divorce using SMS and dismiss from work using SMS.

Are we advancing together with technology or are we moving backwards. Technology might be advancing but our mind might not be advancing as fast. Was watching Galatica yesterday and the series is about clones taking over humankind. It might happen to us if technology is advancing faster then our minds and attitude. Don't be to dependent on technology. We did survive when the technology is not that advance compared to now. We're exercising lesser now also as people are spending more time at Starbucks online compared to jogging at the park.

I was wrong today coz did not think of calling my dear till i was back home. It was my mind that breakdown not the technology. Sorry my dear. Happy traveling to Beijing. Cya

Fish SPA

Tried Balinese SPA, Thai Massage but Fish SPA??? saw this a few months ago at Jusco Bukit Raja but did not tried it. Actually do not know anything about this also. But recieved an email from a friend regarding fish SPA and just glance through it. Just tried Fish SPA recently and it's actually not bad.

Was at Tesco Extra Seberang Jaya to check out some products on sales at the outlet recently and found that this shop which offer fish SPA. There were no customers when me and John went in as i think many were too afraid to try it. The PIC there explain to us that the fish bite will trigger something like electricity to our body and at the same time clean all the dead skin from our leg. Lucky me who just came back from Hong Kong with all the dead skin at my leg from the long walk there.

Actually it was quite nice and you can see all the fish surrounding your leg and biting your leg. We left the shop after 20 minutes with a charge of RM24 for 2 person which i feel is reasonable. The shop were packed with customers when we left. Think they just needed someone to initiate the first move for others to try. The outlet is at Tesco Extra Ground Floor opposite the jewellery shop.

Manage to take some pix and vid of the session.
