I am a person living in Manila, and these are technologies that I truly appreciate everyday in my life:
(These are 10 things that came from the top of my head)
Technology (definition from DICTIONARY.COM) - The specific methods, materials, and devices used to solve practical problems.
1. Aircon/ Electric Fan - with all the summer and non-summer heat here in the Philippines, it would be truly HELL without these
2. Smart Phone - this is my alarm clock, reminder, note, calculator, music, connection to my friends/family, ebook, research device, handy-dandy everything for everyday
3. Stop Lights (especially those with countdown timers) - without these, I wonder what level of hell would Manila traffic will be in, as if it is not in HELL already right now :)
4. Elevators - yes these are basic stuff, but I use these elevators especially in getting to the 27th or 30th or 50th floor of a building (in work, in mall, or in condomeniums)
5. CCTVs - don't see the point of this? They are very useful especially in places (168, restaurants, malls) wherein lots of stealing (of cellphones, wallets) occur; also useful in capturing crimes that occur on roads of the Metro
6. MRT, LRT1, LRT2 - yeah, the lines are very long and the commute is very unaccomodating, but whatever, they take you to places faster than buses or jeepneys
7. Airplanes - they take us to places around the world, we are exposed to new things, what's not to appreciate there?
8. Online Government Systems (like DFA online renewal of passports) - they make our lives more convenient; They lessen our waiting time, and that is one big help for us
9. Online Services (like online Food Ordering of Jollibee or McDo) - no longer do we need to get that phone and dial, we just order online, how convenient is that?
10. Online Stores/Shops (like Ebay.com, Sulit.com) - you a guy? or maybe a girl? not having the time to shop, or time to look for that something? Just type it online and boom, it's there! How easy :)
Got any other stuff you appreciate? Type them below. :)
