One fine day, a father asked his family to go out for dinner. This is an
example of how we have misused the technology. We no longer
communicate with each other in the same space.
Father: Dear, lets go for a dinner at Kenny Rogers.
Kids: Yeay!! Kenny Rogers!
While they are having dinner, (sound of crickets)
Waitress: Whats for dinner sir?
Father: I would like to have the pasta and orange juice please. Thank you.
(Looking at the iPad)
Waitress: What about you maam?
Mother: I would like to have the same menu please.
Waitress: Alright. What about the kids?
Kids: We will have kids combo menu set number one. Thats all.
Waitress: Great! Your order will be right up.
All: At the dinner table, everyone is very focus. (Playing iPads and tablets)
Very, very focus. (Cricket sound)
They are sitting together in the same space but the family members are
busy with their gadgets.
What an irony! The purpose of having dinner together is to get closer with
family members. Not to grow apart and get lost in the virtual world of
social media. We are supposed to communicate with family members. Not
the whole Facebook nation. I repeat, communication.

Grandmother: The purpose of these communication devices is to help us
to communicate with someone in far distance. However, the technology
has taken over us.
The day that Albert Einsteins fear has come. We have misused the tools
of communication. We should use the tools to enhance our living quality.
We should not be addicted to Facebook and Twitter. We cant spread
gossips, lies and hoax on social media.
Grandmother: Children, tell me. If you have a flat tyre in the middle of
nowhere, would you ask for help on your Facebook?
All: No, grandma.
Rules number 47 stated by Richard Templars in his book: Never be too
busy for loved ones. Get to know them before its too late. You parents,
your family and relatives. These are important people in your life.
Appreciate them now before its too late. Oh, by the way, we hope that
you will upload our video on Facebook and Youtube.
Till then, goodbye and thank you.
