Tech Gdad
“All these technologies are making life better and I’m so fucking happy with it..” my dad said. We were skyping the other day and he was so glad that technology like Skype and video chat in general are so useful and important for those living far away for it enable those in both end of the line to see each other while chatting. The most important element here is that to see each other to ease the missing feeling. Well, he’s been doing self learning on how to use emails, skype, read online papers… he even ditched YahooMail for Gmail and even said he’s gonna start blogging soon.. a real Gbapak, the senior G. I think he’s going 3G soon.
Today, a voice chat online or phone let alone text chat is not enough ever since we had video. Right?! Yeah… its true. My dad who’s been following the phone revolution for sometime said he’s not gonna waste money on phones anymore… he’d rather invest in a better web camera and or a better equipped laptop so that he can chat and see us the loved ones. Yeah, he misses us all and its normal. To be able to see us really made him feel better he said. I definitely now know exactly how he feels….
A wifi enabled pda is a great toy today as you can use it to skype for free at many places like mamak and kopitiam. Yeah… the kopitiams and mamaks in my area are wifi enabled. Dad, if you need tutorials, just skype me. Technologies are so advanced we can save a lot on phone calls. Forget all those ring-ring cards.
