The Power Of Education

 My son had the first Xbox years ago and it looks like every two years there is a new arrival of new Xbox just like the many handheld gadgets that were available in stores. Recently there is the latest arrival of Xbox 4 and there is that PS4 or Playstation 4 version now too. Cellphones keep changing its version too. Every year the constant changing and replacement of new technology is being felt and whoever can afford the new technology becomes the life of the party or the life of any group.

One day nobody can afford anything of this tech that is so high and we're all be just playing the old board games.


 
 There are at least 15 Board Games known to men such as: Chess, Checkers, 3D Tic Tac Toe, Dalmatian Pirates and the Volga Bulgars, Roundabouts, Hasami Shogi, Go, Hex, Brax, Hoppers, Fandango, Solitaire, Cats and Dogs, Mancala, Nine Men's Morris, Backgammon, and to add to entertaining ourselves there are television shows doing to entertain us in a most magical way and other games that are over the top and so unbelievable in the sense of its risk involved such as: Amazing Race Canada, Amazing Race (American version-original), Survivor, Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, Wipeout (looks like that crazy game provided by Japanese).


How high technology nowadays including its price tag is simply not irresistible. I am not impress much of this technology. Although I'm using and benefit from the use of computer it is one high tech that is an indispensable tool almost as important, very important like television. Radio and radio technology and landline telephone should not be abolished because no matter how old that technology still is very valuable when there is a calamity and what else is taking us by storm? The snowy wonderland since Thursday of last week has melted this morning. Our heater's switch has to be set up every time the weather changes. The arrow on the left side corner of the heater's button means there is no need to heat up the room. To move the button clockwise to desired number as in its centigrade: 5  ,  10  ,  15  ,  20  , 25 degrees ; note that's the centigrade applied to what the room needs for heating or the temperature desired for the room.

There are good news and bad news around the world: Dementia is becoming the number one ailment due to the majority of population is old people. There are more old people than young people in a given demographic region or according to statistics. People with dementia are common now at age 50 and even those who are in their 40's. What could be the debilitating cause of dementia aside from being old? Is it the environment to be blamed? The weather, climate , the temperature? The food that we eat? Is it because people with dementia are also people with cancer and alzheimers? Even young people with autism have that kind of problem. Its seems to me that they have alzheimers now too at a very young age? Wow! So unbelievable! It think it has something to do with the environment. How toxic and how cold a climate plays a part of what sickness, what ailment you will have in your life time. That there should be an agency that monitors the environment condition whether good air is within that area zone that they should have device that monitors about carbon dioxide, radon, methane, and other hazardous gas. Every house in Canada should have carbon monoxide detector and fresh air should be available for the living to breathe in. Even if you are normal, healthy and not sick but if you happened to breathe in toxic fumes and you are a victim of second hand smoke you are unfortunately will suffer schizophrenia. Others will suffer bipolar disorder ( so many of those newscasters already admitted of being sick of bipolar) simply they inhaled so much smoke in their life time from smoke-puffing monsters and from the serious effect of air and water pollution. Think about it. It takes education to know all about these things. BE EDUCATED! Don't be ignorant.
