Q. I want to see wat do u think about the iPad, whether to buy it or not.
A. I think that part of the reason why there wasn't more excitement at the keynote address is because this is technology that we're already familiar with. I mean, how do you top the iPhone? You don't. However, the iPad is exactly what they intended it to be, the device between the iPhone and the Mac. I definitely plan on getting it as soon as it comes out. It's a great portable device because of its size and because of what it can do. It does everything I do on my Mac, except for iWeb. I hope they add that someday. I also LOVE the leather case which flips into a stand. That's what put me over the edge, only because I had questions about how I would use it. I'm currently in school, so I don't always have the option to rest it on my lap. And if I need a keyboard then I might as well take my notebook. But with this case, I can rest it on my desk and take notes. It's also small enough that I can carry it in my already full backpack. I also LOVE iBooks! I hope to carry less textbooks in my backpack in the future! Awesome device!
Did the Industrial Revolution destroy our society?
Q. I am watching "The Men Who Built America" and IMO I think it ruined our society. The working conditions were absolutely terrible and workers barely got paid anything. They could barely feed their kids. You have these evil men who built these companies and they lived in a lap of luxury while their employees inhaled massive amounts of smog from steal mills. It did in fact "revolutionize" our society into the way it is today but in a bad way. All these big shots today only care about profits, consumerism, and mass production. They care less about their slaving employees. Yes we have Unions now but they aren't very relavent considering how many laws are in place now. I appreciate them for fighting for workers back then (and helped put those laws in place) but there is not much they can do now. We now live in a world where you stand in a factory for 12 hours doing back breaking labor and for what? To watch your family's structure go down the toilet? Before the Industrial revolution life was simple. Yeah you still worked long hours but it was on a farm. You were your own boss and you got to feed yourself and sell your produce to others for money. Family structure was stong because a father and son got to bond while doing their work. It was the pinnacle of masculinity. Now the fathers have to be gone all day and not able mentor their kids. That is why there is so many miguided boys today who basically get left to the media to tell them how to be a man.... which usually turns out to be either a steryle "nice" boy, or grow up to be abusive. Man we live in a messed up world now.
A. I absolutely agree with you. Human beings were not meant to stand on their feet all day, doing monotonous and highly dangerous work on auto assembly lines or in other factories. People still get seriously injured and killed in those jobs but we never hear about them. And how sad is it that we even need labor unions to protect us from unscrupulous, evil, greedy, miserable, rotten, overpaid CEOs in the first place!
Office work is the same bullshit, but the stress is on your soul and your humanity. Who cares if this report isn't typed properly or you forgot to fill out this page, or you didn't make your sales quota? You're right, in the days of family farms none of that existed and we did just fine. Technology has done great things for us, including making us healthier, improved sanitation, standardized manufacturing processes so the products we buy are safe and effective. But, It also turned us into over-scheduled, over-bureaucratized, subservient little boys and girls who are afraid of being downsized or just plain fired for no good reason.
I wish we could go back to a simpler time when family was all you needed and you respected and depended upon each other. We don't need iPhones, iPads, tech support, none of that crap.
