Monitored LIfe

I suddenly have some IDEAS in my head and I din want it to be together with the last post cos it's totally irrelevant, i think.

It's about monitors.. Firstly, what are monitors? they are just like windows, but they are windows that show us images BEYOND reality. The first monitor that enter the life of the human race is the Redifusion, or simply the black & white TVs.. yupzZ.. that's the generation one of the little black box..

the little black box has totally chaged the world.. the TV has becomed from a pure form of entertainment & pasttime to an addiction, turning everyone of us into lifeless zombies(in nicer words coach potato, technically they are very much the same). the little black box has enable people to receive knowledge about the entire world by just a flick of a button.. Maybe if u weren't that obsessed with that black box, you would really lead a much more meaningful,eventful,fruitful life..

dun believe me?? dun think people are obsessed?? just look back.. since when is a drama series a must do thing in our life? remember how depressed you would become if u missed the last episode?? how about being so engrossed watching vcd/dvd until eat and sleep becomes unimportant?? or being totally oblivious to ur family calling at you while u watch ur fav comedy?? "knowledge cravings", when one shows ends, u switch channels and look for something else to dwell ur mind into... that's obsessed..

however TV is evil no.2 nowadays.. now's the IT age.. and the number 1 EVIL goes to... *drumroll*... the computer monitor. Everyday, almost everyone would face a computer monitor.. it's no longer just wat the tv decides to show you, the computer and the internet give u the power and control to chosoe watever, whenever you wanna see... it has becomed a way of life.. it's not just entertainment like TV.. it's much more den that.. it's work,communication and many more..

see how the monitors are appearing everywhere and taking over our lifes.. and how i can i leave out the latest doll of the IT industry since the late 90s?? the HandPhone.. dun forget the screen u have on ur HP.. it's a monitor too!! now everyone has a portable monitor.. when was the last time u ever get onto a public transport which has NOONE using a HP?? not in the last 20 yrs i tell you...

have u ever wondered.. as we look into the monitor and see an image.. there might be someone staring right back at us and we dun even know it.. better still.. that someone is telling us to do things right now.. which we dun even realise.. aint that scary?? not possible?? well i seriously believe it is possible.. just that no one is crazy enough to try it out yet.. just imagine planting messages into the computer images which isonly recognisable by the brain and not the eye... or radio frequencies in the sub-audible ranges... i could be telling to transfer all ur $$ into my account this very moment..

anyway.. dun worry just yet.. i'm just in the mood to tell stories.. k back to my main point.. Our lifes are so filled with monitors and maybe cameras.. everything we do is being scrutinised and watched.. pretty much like the events in the move "enemy of the state".. no wonder more and more ppl are running back into the woods..

one day monitors will become non-physcial.. like the holographic stuff we see in sci-fi movies.. yupzZ.. that's the future for monitors and e future for us.. We are not living in the age of computer or IT.. We are living in the age of MONITORS...
