社会不断在进步，孩子们的生活一代比一代好是很自然的事。但科技所带来的便利与物质上的享受只是生活的一部分。不管科技如何发达，快乐的生活仍旧少不了一些基本的生活原素，如亲人朋友间的关心，乐于助人的胸怀，对生命的热忱等等。
一位博客曾经说过，科技也许缩短了长距离，却也可能拉长了短距离。这句引人深省的话，希望能让我们在资讯科技腾飞的年代，不忘却基本的人际关系与基本的生活道理。
With the care of the parents, with the comfort of a warm nest, with the availability of numerous media and entertainment systems, the kids nowadays are the lucky ones and are often spoilt for choices in their daily life.
My little one as young as four years old is already well versed with playing with ipod, games console, computer games as well as online games, probably follow after his elder sister who has more face book friends than her parents have. I am not really proud of this but do not think that I should restrict them too much on the trend.
The future undoubtedly will be very much different from our past mainly due to technological advances, but the basic qualities that determine whether or not life is good should remain unchanged. Values such as caring, sharing, giving, helping and loving etc. will be as important regardless of how high-tech our society can attain.
Hopefully the kids can grow up in a comfortable environment but yet are able to appreciate life and understand that there are still many others who may be less fortunate that we should give our helping hand whenever possible.
如果一味追求科技, 那我们和机械人又有何分别.
ReplyDeleteKids these days are super tech savvy. Their toys are ipods and ipads.
ReplyDeleteWe should encourage the kids to play some 'traditional' games.
ReplyDeletethe photo is a litle strange, did you do that purposely to explain how technology can connect people as well as aparting people??
ReplyDelete人类控制了科技, 还是科技已经把人类牢牢紧控?!

Mei Teng,
The question is how much to restrict the kids…..

SK,
Image and imagination is inseparable. You have fascinating imagination that makes a good blogger and photographer….:-) I took this photo as a fun shot (the reflection of the ceiling fan is off the wooded dining table with a glass top) and the thought of how technology is affecting our life naturally come out when I wrote the post….
普普，
人类已经越来越依赖科技了。。。
silent moments,
Your observation got a perfect 10! The reflection is off a wooden table with glass top (You are the first one who got it right….)
