Now is the modern age. There have been
many technologies that facilitate human life, one of them in the field of
communication with the discovery handphone. People no longer need to bother
using the home telephone and can call anyone, anytime and anywhere. This
technology has been extended to all these people whether young or old.
Two years ago, while I
was shopping groceries with my mother at a department store in my town, I saw a
little girl walking with her parents. From what I see, maybe the girl was only
ten years And her parents also looks young. Suddenly, the little girl cried out
loud and she said, "Mom, Dad, why do not you buy me a smartphone? All my
friends at school have a smartphone!".The girl's parents were silent as
they continued to try to relieve the girl's whimper.
I
continued to pay attention to them, because I think the problem they have is
interesting. A few moments later, the girl stopped crying. She tried to pull
the hands of her parents and went to the electronics section as she pointed to
the newest smartphone. I eavesdropped on them and her parents continued to say that
now is not the time yet for her to have a smartphone. Well, they have a point
Somehow,
she stopped begging to her parents and they immediately leave the electronic
section and went to the toys section. As they came out of the
toys section, I saw the little girl carrying a doll in her hand. And what I see
from her face is big smiles, she was very happy.
Well, it seems like it
was a regular occurrence in modern times as it is now. After I was satisfied pay
attention to them, I went back to look for my mother. When we finished
shopping, on the way back home I told this story to my mother and she just
smiled.
