THE EDUCATION AND THE UNEDUCATION IN A DIGITAL WORLD

No, somehow you can't stop it.  Anymore than you want or however necessary for you.  It isn't quite the same before. That is why there will always be a little conflict between generations. 

The issue this time would be,"How much computing does someone need to keep everyday?" With all these so called applications, operating systems, programs, software...that someone has digitally shared or sold to you or with you?  Upon deciding which fits your lifestyle, your business, your need.

And there really is something wrong when a person can't seem to find work in his own domicile,area, locality, location, town, city, country. There really is something wrong when a person can't seem to finish  school in his own country. Was there too much distraction everywhere? Was reality too much of a distraction to care that much?  Was the so called real world you see around you too much of a scare to have you thinking "What's the big fuss about school anyway?"

But hey, there really is still that collision between forces that seem  to think that a person does not need it or when  he or she  says that he or she definitely needs it.  It does not really come as something that we really need to keep arguing all the time.  Deducing all about it as if it is unnecessary anymore. Not relevant these days. And there is that differentiation within each other , classified according to their age, levels, and capabilities.  The ability to say *Hey, I can do that..say *Hey, I can do this.*

And there is that awful sense that you have failed or  you have been rejected.  The embarrassment that comes after the expectations.  But when really is it necessary to feel  that way? Does it come without saying that all one has to do is whine about it?  Or that wonderment  inside every household, why aren't we talking about  it anymore?  That endless sense of *Hey, what happened? Do I belong here?  And forget and laugh all about it as if it does not really matter anyway.  Who's to say it really does.  Does it? 

WORRIES

Worries.  Worry.  Don't worry.  It's like having to turn on the computer and learn more about it because everyone else is doing the same.  It's like having to have boyfriends or girlfriends because everyone else is doing the same. That look of envy or disappointment you see on someone else's face. The face they make when you know they came into grips about how things will turn out later on.  A precognition of something that will happen, assuming that it will, eventually. It's like something you had to do or maybe ought to do for your chosen career or whatever.

It's like your friend, a brother or a sister sporting his or her worrisome look on his or her face.  That distrustful look, that look of defiance, distrustful.  And never having to explain a thing about.  And somehow you would leave it that way hanging out unresolved.

It's like you'd rather need to stay away and leave it as it is because anything you can do may or can be used against you.  It's like having watched too many movies, of these films or read too much about this and that.  The negative and  positive traumatic experiences you wished you haven't gone through.

It's like the music, bands you now wished you never have heard about.  It's like those things people should never have talked about on TV, at home, on the telephone, at school, at the office, and at the trip to and fro.  It's like those skills you now wished you never have learned about so someone else wouldn't have to keep bugging or begging you to do tasks for them instead.  It's like the frustration you keep hidden somewhere because somebody else don't have the nerve or the heart to face or confront them themselves.

It's like the lies you keep hearing about and how it keeps you dumb, stupid and insane.  It's like the bird that calls you from a tree every morning since it may have learned that you are planning to build a birdhouse for.  It's like a confession about something you wished you didn't hear from a friend. It's like the drink you never drank, and the bottle you wished you never thrown. It's like a blindspot for a translation.  Worries, worry, don't worry. You can leave me alone.  I wished I never heard that.

It's like that film you wished you haven't watched, pictures you wished you haven't seen, and songs you wished you never heard. books you wished you never read, and people you now wished you never wasted your time about.

It's like the money you now wished you never spent.  And the worry that was useless and should never have happened.

THE BACKHAND, THE FOREHAND, THE SMASH, THE SPIKE, THE KICK, THE SHOT, THE GOAL

There has to be something in the background.  Say, the ground, the horizon, the sky, the trees.  There has to be something in the foreground.  Say, a figure.  Maybe an automobile, a pet, an insect, or maybe another tree.  There just has to be.  It wouldn't look complete, so they say.  There has to be lights and the shades.  And don't forget the colors, the hues,  the tints, the tones...different strokes, different approach, different styles, methods, applications.

And before you really have to make one there has to be a plan, a floor plan...call it a layout whatever but that's how it was.  But before doing so you got to have objectives and space requirements. And before having that you need to have a motivation, an inspiration, an aspiration. Besides the resources, yes, the resources.  You need to have the right resource, the source, the primary, the origin, the start.  So you can start, begin.

And while you're doing so, you need to have the same thing you need while you're doing it.  The way you are, the way it is, the way it was so you'd feel secure.  So you won't stray, so you won't go so far you can't be reached back.  Since it could be something that might or steal your soul away.  Or the task might need more of your time, the task could drain your brain, might need to keep you up so late at night.  You may forget what's real and what's not. You may have to go somewhere, talk to strangers. You may have to keep them informed about what's what, might need to stay away from them too.  You might need to isolate your self.  Yes, indeed.  You may have to find a way to feed yourself without somebody else doing it for you like it used to be.  Hahahahaha.  You need to keep your sanity.  By the way, how far did you go,  father, mother, brother, sister?  How do you brush your teeth?
