If you were stuck on an island...
Which of these would you rather have?
1)newspaper
2)telephone
3)radio
4)an internet connection
This is one question posed to us during our "Effective Public Relations" module in school yesterday evening.
In my mind, I was actually thinking of the telephone or an internet connection. Not surprisingly, most of the students chose the last option. In fact, according to a survey from our textbook, 69% of people surveyed chose that.
Ok, so I was telling my course mate beside that, "Ya, so they can log on to facebook right!"
And then I added, "Then they'll upload their latest facebook status on their profiles, 'Help! I'm stranded on an island!'"
To which my friend laughed of course.
To come to think of it, the fact that I even considered the telephone or mobile phone must be because I really do appreciate that as a communication tool. I think no amount of words you type can convey as much as hearing the emotions in the voice of a loved-one over the phone. That's probably why sometimes I'd rather call a friend than to sms if I need a chat.
Call me old-fashioned, whatever. I'd rather that the 'human touch' factor is preserved, thank you very much. Having said that, technology is so drowning out that. And it sucks.
On another note, I finally got my stitches removed at TTSH today! And gosh, it was quite painful, even more painful than the operation itself, I think.
But still, I am happy that my fingers are now "free"!
Again, big thanks to my dearie bun for fetching me there!
On the road to recovery! Woohoo!
