While technology helps us a lot in our daily life, is it a bit too much to worry that, you lose some basic ability of being a human:

1) You don't need to remember your appointments (you rely on the calendar alerts set in your PDA/phone)
2) You don't need to meet up with friends physically (you rely on the online social networks to get to know their status / updates)
3) You don't need to talk (you rely on online chat with typing)
4) You don't have to walk to shops or banks (you rely on online banking and shopping)
5) You don't write anymore (you type)

ETC.

Worrying?

I guess I'm kinda worried.



HOW TO CONVINCE MY GRANDPA TO WATCH RED CLIFF??

My grandpa is a thrifty man.

I know his life experience made him to be as such.

He worked hard since young. He arrived here from China when he's 6.

Then, he worked and made a comfortable family. Then, he suffered from bankruptcy because he was a guarantor and his friend fled to overseas, leaving 1 million RM of debt back in 80's.

And etc.

So, when you ask him to spend on something, he'll complain about it.

Last time we brought him to Cameron Highland 2 days 1 night trip. He complained that we should save the $$$.

OK, all I wanna say is that, according to my uncle, he has not been to cinema since 70's.

That's something like 30 years apart.

He's 75 years old now. I believe he should start enjoying his life.

I've already used one of the tactic, I'm also inviting my god mother to go along - and asked her to convince him.

But failed so far.

So how?
