Tech No Logic.

Yet another day in web design not doing anything but pointless nothings on the computer.

The internet is such a nuisance. One of the reasons being we can’t live without it. I don’t know about you, but I feel lost without my phone. And without internet connection, I feel isolated and detached from the entire world. I feel disoriented. All because of an electronic device. Kind of a crazy thought, no? Well not to us.

People can do anything on the internet these days. They can buy clothes, or even groceries, they can sell things, meet life partners, and find long lost friends. You can revolve or build your entire life around the internet. Our generation is the cursed one. It’s the least creative, due to all the advantages handed to us by technology. Fewer children are playing sports, and resorting to video games. Hell, singers don't even have to be good anymore; we have machines to make them sound perfect. I know some of you are thinking “oh em gee huge crisis…naht.” But at the same time, look at what the future will hold for us. What will we do in 10 years when they’ve created an electronic version of everything? Soon enough schools will be taught through computers. Hell, exercising can be bought on video game softwares now. You don’t even have to leave your room anymore.

People become obsessed with the technology. Doctors don’t even have to lift a finger nowadays. They can do open heart surgery without even cutting someone open anymore. Laser liposuction has stopped people from exercising. “Non invasive? I’ll get it done. Who needs to work out when I could just do that?” It’s like they’re trying to create a computerized version of life. I’m just waiting for the day they accidentally program robots to be smarter than us and they take over the world. Only then will they say, “hey guys…maybe we shouldn’t have made so much technological advances.”

On the other hand technology is a blessing. It helps us save lives easier and faster due to new machines in hospitals, opens communication due to new “friending” sites, and promoted new things like music.

Oh god, I just left my blog open while I helped someone. Great, now everyone knows what I’m thinking.

Doesn’t it seem like everything is just about money? Doctors don’t even save lives anymore because they want to; it’s because they want the money. “No insurance? Sorry, you’ll just have to take yourself and your chopped off foot out of our ER. Please don’t get any of the spewing blood on our other patients.”
The government is zillions of dollars in debt. I didn’t even know that number existed. Zillions? They just spend money on weapons and things we barely need. They spend and spend money they don’t have and we have to pay for it in the end.

When did this become a revolt against the government?

The dollar is burnt to a crisp. It barely serves any value anymore anyway.
I say everything should be free. Who’s with me?

That quote “money doesn’t buy happiness” is very deceiving. It can buy happiness in some cases. Hell, if you’re a homeless person living on the streets, starving without any food or even a blanket to cover you from the freezing cold, money could buy you a nice meal and something to keep you warm. And if you ask me, I think that a full stomach and something to sleep on could make that person very happy.

But there are people with tons of money, people who could buy anything in the world; who are miserable. Sometimes they’re the least happiest people on earth. All they do is buy and throw away. Kids in India and Uganda are happier than them. Even the simplicity of tossing around a ball and drinking their only cup of water that day can be enough to them. And I think that’s truly beautiful. Not the fact that they don't have those things, but the fact that they don’t need much to be happy. I think that being happy because of life’s simple tiny things is the most amazing thing one can have. That is true happiness. Happiness doesn’t come from yachts and mansions and pimped out rides. After all we did begin with nothing. We lived on the pure earth, slept on the soil, and drank rainwater. And hey, we were perfectly fine. It wasn’t until one guy came up and said “hey we should start paying for our things.” that humanity divided into things called “classes”.

This word is what makes some people believe that they are better than others. It makes people think they’re not good enough. If you think about it, money is just pieces of paper. They’re pieces of green paper with dead presidents’ faces on them. And coins are the same thing. Symbolism goes a long way, doesn’t it? Nobody actually sees those rectangles as just paper. They see it as their future, their kids’ futures, something that could save a relative from dying. People become sick, they become possessed over these snip it’s of paper. Your entire day could light up just by finding a bill on the floor. What if we all just took green colored paper and cut them into rectangles?
We could call that money, right?

I think money is stupid. The fact that some people think that those with more money are more educated than those without is probably the most ignorant thing to have ever been said. I’ve met wealthy people who didn’t have any manners what so ever. They were mean and impolite, and some even belched at the dinner table. But I’ve met people living in one bedroom houses, who were the kindest, wisest people I’ve ever come across. Money can buy lots of things. It could change people’s lives, it could cure diseases, it could rule the world. But in the end, it's just pieces of paper and coins.
...That's it.
