Technology that I cherish

I earn my living by writing code.


But I am always doubtful on the importance of technology. It surely ease our daily life but I have never experienced the "magic moment" like when I read through passages in a novel or encounter a music segment in a symphony.


Until this Sunday, things have changed.


My buddy had bought my family, my brother to be precise, a gift for my wedding. To make a long story short, my brother hasn't come back for many years and they cannot see each other easily. Flying back is an expensive option which he cannot do regularly and my parents have difficulty in even going across the harbor, so flying to Canada is out of the question.


They have bought him a mac mini with an iSight, which enables my parents in seeing him at home at anytime they want. We have finally seen each other on the previous Sunday, everyone at home were very excited since we can talk, and even see, each other freely.


Now, I could finally convince myself that, the industry I am working for, do bring good to the community.
