My Digital Birthday

"Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to Pat Wong

Happy Birthday to you!"



24th September is my birthday but I realised a phenomenon which is totally different from the past.

In the past, friends tended to give me a phone call and say "Happy Birthday". I can't say all of them are my very good friends but at least I can feel they are wholeheartedly talk to me. However, for this ever changing society, new media replace everything.

SMS, Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram are some common and popular ways for people to communicate. You may say I should feel happy because there are nearly two hundred people saying "Happy Birthday" to me while I actually don't know some of them. And I even know that some of them are just being reminded by the notification because I am the one who don't remember my "friends" birthday but just simply type few words for them because of the Facebook reminder.

So, it is good to have more friends to leave a post to you, or bad to have some insincere "blessing". You should leave comment to tell what you feel.

My Digital Life

"Battery is about to die ..."



What if you see this on your iphone?

What if you see this without any charger?

What if your iPhone is going to be swtiched off in the coming sec?


I guess ....

Most of the people will get mad.

At least I will, as I experience this always.


I am okay if I am alone.

I am okay if nobody call me.

But I wont be okay if I am detached from the new media.

Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, Weibo, etc



Is it implying that we can't live wothout this?

I have no answer, but PLEASE TRY!

WELCOME

This is PATWONG creating a new blog for my university course "Writing for New Media". The very first thing to share is my lovely pet having "sun-bathing" at home. LOL

For those who are in the same class with me, ENJOY!
