let's move on

Well enough about displeasures about these folks from nowhere. Let us come to something more interesting. Let's perhaps talk about how Singapore is slowing transforming itself into a wider culture. We have come from a very humble beginning, from a small little port-of-call to today's thriving, robust economy. While all that is happening, our society at large begins to transcend itself too. From a grazed, conservative culture, that once frowns upon frivolity of any sorts, have come to contradict itself in many different ways, as we are definitely spoilt for choices, whether when it comes to leisure likeeating, drinking, shopping, travel and dating any members of the opposite sex. I say, in many ways we are truly privileged to be living in this land we call home, but at the same time, it's transmuting the younger generation. Of course, when we come to talk about how the younger generation has evolved from our then old days, where communications were effective just as if the girl gave you a time to call her home when her parents were not home, and the gleams on our faces when we got our first pager our parents bought for us. We had power then. Being pagered(can anyone still remember their first pager number), and returning calls from public phones was just a cool thing to do. Still then, communication then was effective and pleasurable. It never broke anyone up(although some couples did). Then came "Zone Phones", to mobiles phones, came into play. The world becomes more connected. Anyone was just a ring away, where-ever you are. Come dial-up modems and Windows NT technology that has brought the world even closer together, and now with broadband at ever-increasing speeds, i must say, the world has never been so inter-connected together before, and even as we speak, we are still getting closer. But, but have we ever realise, or even come to contemplate whether there is any backlash from all these technologies impending?
