Sentimentality/technology (20th of May)

My plan for today is to get my storyboard started. I was happy that I finished 20 panels within 3 hours. That was one of the productive things I've done for the day. Then taking a break for one hour and had my sentimental talk with mum after she came back. I truly understood how she felt when she was told by her classmates something really traumatizing and insulting. I mean, how could you not cry in front of your daughter after all that happened. I guess it was one of those moments that she couldn't take it anymore. The fear and anxiety in her eyes got me quite worried and that I was so scared if there will be that one day when I have to confront that reality as she told me. I only wish that wasn't true, I only hope that it was only a dream. She told me not to worry, stay calm and be happy if that really happens. And obviously, fatty's word had cheered her up a bit. I know that he has always been there for us, without his support all these years, she would have collapsed.

Assuming that I now have an even clearer understanding of what should have known ages ago. Being slightly sentimental is inevitable, but more importantly is that it makes me even more value everything as I can. 

I don't want to make my post too upsetting because vulnerability is not supposed to show in the public. Anyways my media epic readings have inspired me quite a bit. Interconnection is made by diverse gadgets anywhere in anytime. Internet of things, this concept can be simply concluded the recent trends we have now, which our lives are becoming more and more transparent. Undeniably this transition has posed some threat to our privacy as well as our naturalness has slowly faded out. What has already happened is that human, this species gradually turns themselves into cyborg in a sense by allowing technology takes over our lives as we can't stop using them. In other words, technology is indeed an intoxicating product results in our intensify feeling of having everything in hand. But what's the scariest thing is that what if technology knows more about yourself than yourself....
