my ambivalent attitude

Thursday, July 06, 2006

Even if you are not a caveman living under the stone during the primitive era and can be said to be an average follower of modern technology, I assure you that you will still be gawking awestruck at the voluminous list of cutting-edge technologies that are quickly becoming ubiquitous and omnipresent on the 3G island. A few days ago, I was still lamenting to myself about the lack of internet access on personal laptops in public places like McDonald's; almost immediately, my complaint was rebutted when the News that night reported about Singapore being targeted to be transformed into a internet hotspot by next year, whereby everyone would be able to tap on the rich resources online anytime, anywhere! I cannot deny that I'm amazed by the rapid advancements in technology.

Looks like my dream of upgrading my Zen MicroPhoto to a ZenVision is going to be a reality faster than I expected. Partly thanks to the World Cup, since I won almost $400 altogether, after this morning's gratifying match between France and Portugal. Coupled with the amount of money I'm expected to churn out from the online auction of my Zen MicroPhoto and Gameboy Advance, I wouldn't be paying any extra penny for the sleek, multi-functioned latest Creative product! :) But I'm determined to save more in the coming months, since I still have a Savings Plan to feed.
