So, it’s exam time. I write my first exam tonight. I can’t way for school to be over, probably like everyone else. Strangely enough, this year I’m actually healthy and not sick while I’m writing exams. So I’m thankful for that. I hope to start writing more when exams are done.
What shall I write about? Hard to say.
While I’m studying I’ve been spending a lot of time in Seattle Coffee House. While I’ve been learning a lot about algorithms and networking, I’ve also learned that you can learn a lot about the local business scene in a coffee shop just by listening to the conversations around you. The problems people have with employees, the business connections people have through their churches, how much so and so spends on their advertising budget. I’m sure someone could write a juicy gossip blog about conversations overheard in a coffee shop, but of course that would be totally unethical and immoral. However, make you think about where what you say in a coffee shop, could go.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I’ve been thinking about relationships in society. How relationships can go wrong, and all the pain that causes. I’ve been thinking about abusive relationships, wondering why it happens. And since I’m in the whole information communications technology industry, I’ve been thinking about “cyberbullying.” I’ve been hearing about it a lot on the news lately. We could develop endless amounts of technology to monitor and catch those responsible, but wouldn’t it be more valuable to find the root causes and figure out why it happens in the first place? Is it because of emotional pain, loneliness, something rooted in psychology? Our relationship with our parents? Does loneliness make us vulnerable?
