The world got on fine without electricity before. It got on fine without a lot of stuff we developed over the past thousand years. It’s not about your personal convenience, it’s about the advancement of civilization. The world doesn’t revolve around making people happy, it’s a mix of our happiness and our progression. If we all did what you do and just went “we don’t need computers, or any advance in tech” then we’d just settle down in to a world that is in an endless cycle: People born, people get jobs, people die. How dull would that be? We create these things so that we may progress as a species and become more powerful and influential in the universe, lest we die out a boring, pointless existence.

Also: I hate it when people do this whole “COMPUTERS WOULDN’T WORK WITHOUT MECHANICS”. When did we ever say programmers contributed more than mechanics? Why are you even trying to create conflict there? No one ever said mechanics weren’t needed, I just don’t see the point in that argument. Mechanics are needed for the physical part and programmers are required for the logical part. It’s not about who’s better, you’re supposed to be on the same team here. Stop trying to create fights with your own side.

COFFEE.EXE Missing – Insert Cup and Press Any Key

Helpdesk: Sir if you see the blue screen, press any key to continue. Customer : hm.. just a min.. where’s that ‘any key’…

A typical yahoo chat room: “A has signed in, A has signed out, B has signed in, B has signed out, C has signed in, C has signed out..”

I prefer to think of it as donating to furthering education, with a discrete possibility of living high on the hog forever.

I am always wondering that why so many people are indulged in lotteries, based on the fact that the chance to win is so slim. I am a young painter from China, specializing in creating different kind of oil paintings. Look forward to making friends who love painting.
