Words of The RainMaker…

I remember when I got my first thumb drive back in high school. I stored all the important files (documents and images…) and music files (since the thing was an mp3 player). Even though it had the storage size of 1 GB, it was large compared to nowadays….

But there was one time when I checked my drive (plug and play, of course.), it seemed to have lost a portion drive space even though there was nothing stored inside. This puzzled me at first, then I realized that my thumb drive had been overrun by worms and trojans (F.Y.I., computer viruses). I thought of ways to get rid of these unwanted files like using anti-viral programs, reformatting and defragmenting. But the more frequently I used my thumb drive, the more exposed it is to a huge number of viruses from different computers or even worse, the World Wide Web. Remember that the Internet is a mesh of data circulating in cyberspace travelling across the globe for everyone to see access, and in that mesh of data includes computer viruses. This is like AIDS (Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome) for computers, since the motto of any thumb drive is "plug and play."

what if an EMP were to strike at this moment? if that were to happen i would ask my self every two seconds: "what do i do?"

this is what i want to point out. we are extremely reliant on the technology, predominantly electronic technology, we have at this moment to do everything we need to or want to do. computers to do our work, sophisticated forms of transportation to take us from one place to another in  probably 30 mins or less, and a library of electronics to keep us entertained with games and music.

i’ll admit that it is hard to live without all of these stuff but i can learn to teach myself to do things without the assistance of these
