Frankenstein Complex

The other day I felt like logging into BB6 after almost 2 months since I last time actually been there. But then, I forgotten the URL sorry lar my brain has deteriorated in the past 2 months. So I went to google it and I found this:



It gave me this strange video, which was submitted by someone with the pseudonym taylorstlc. Upon further inspections, a grand total of 56 (FIFTY SIX, not FIVE-SIX) videos was uploaded to teach students how to use BB6. And upon even further inspections, a blog which was operated by one Miss Nor linked all the videos. -___-

When I found it out, all I can said was, "Sai em sai ar?" (Translation: Do we really need it?)


This simply shows technology is taking over our lives. Despite blogging is the current phenomenon, I think it's way too outrageous and ridiculous to purposely create a blog just for such purpose. Yes, the methods were used to help the students but do we actually need one when it is a simple task of how to login to BB6?

I mean, technology means progress because with technology, our daily lives have definitely become better and easier. But then again, if technology could be used to teach students such an easy task, who is to say technology cannot replace the lecturers in the future?

Future lecturers

And who is to say that technology cannot replace the books and other reading materials too in the future?

Future books

I would hope that it is only a joke, because it will be like insulting the intelligence and capabilities of the students to require videos to learn such an easy task. Well, at least I feel that way. I mean, Taylorians paid top dollars ringgit to study in Taylor's to learn from the lecturers, not from videos.

Isn't that right? And hopefully they don't cancel my enrollment for bashing them
