you know what... you know what??

I just gotta be the stupidest person on earth TODAY. ok, I guess you already know. haha.

I actually thought 23 NOV 1200 hrs means the midnight of 23 NOV... ahhh where did my brains go???

So the posting for my CS1105 module blog ended before i could post my last post!!!! Shitty, right?

And so... in order not to let that post which i took so long to crap go to waste... you guys will have to suffer and READ it... muahahahaha~ *gives evil grin*

and here goes...


This will be final post of this blog… the three main things I’ve learnt…

1. I used to think that a decision that ultimately benefits others is definitely the “correct” one… but subsequently after reading some of the readings and having the tutorial discussions… I have come to another kind of mindset. Now, to me, the intention is far more important than the outcome. If a person actually means to do good, but the outcome does not turn out in the way he/she expected, is this person to blame? Like the inventor of nuclear energy, it might have been an invention to promote further research on the potential and beneficial uses of nuclear energy, but others have turned it into a dangerous weapon. Thus, I think that this has broadened the way I view things and that there is no certain right or wrong answers, but it is how one argues the case. This is one important standpoint I have learnt in this course.

2. The decreasing amount of privacy internet users is entitled to. I had no idea that internet users are under some many kinds of threat while being online… danger of leak of personal information, spyware/malware, etc. Now that I have learnt these from this course, I’ll know how to protect myself and tell others about such risks while using the internet. And of course to stop downloading intellectual property… including songs/movies… and infringing others’ copyrights… I really had no idea that Singapore is under strict laws for committing these infringements. I got kinda scared! Haha :P

3. The progress of ICT is sooo rapid. From the thumbprint-scanning keyboard to the table-top surface computing… maybe its better to proceed slower, I mean, whats the point of these applications do not work well for users? I think more R&D should be done so that these applications can suit users better and becomes a better item that would seem attractive to users… because I don’t think most people are ready to accept such improvements at such a fast rate yet… However, improvements are still needed… or how can ICT increase the quality of our lives? And for this third point, what I want to say is, I have seen so many different new applications coming out from this course, and is learning to appreciate the current available applications that we have now, and the newer inventions that are coming out soon.

Even though my blog has probably one of the least posts, I still think that this blog did help me to analysis my thoughts about the ideas learnt each week. It is definitely difficult for me to phrase my thoughts/ideas/opinions into words like this… but I’m glad that I took CS1105 because I know it will be able to help me in some way or another in future. :)

And with this, I’ll end my blog here.

So there.
