when is/was the deadline?
should it be finished for yesterday?
how did you get/process the information about it?!
am I suppose to do all that?
why can’t I concentrate?
where is the bug?
does all these make sense? ….

No idea how was the life before the e-era, or with zero IT. Perhaps it is not my position to even wonder about that, because I know I am not 100% an ICT child, if I compare myself with the modern generations that might have access to “n” electronic devices since early stages.

 

I started playing and building my own creations with mechanics and electronics when I was around 8 years old. My atari came afterwards, and my first computer class took place when I was aprox. 12 years old (language: “BASIC”). My personal computer came later in my life, but I can’t complain, electronics have been always present in my life. Wonderful times I would say!!! Nevertheless, comparing myself with newer generations I might have started late with ICT and I can say I had experienced some e-free-era too

 

Nevertheless, ever since I remember electronics are getting: smaller in size, with bigger capacity and FASTER processing speed. Actually, it seems that electronics are in a hurry for ….. what?! . I am not so sure about the reason or purpose of such a hurry. Maybe, as IT is intimately involved with the “world’s” economy, hence no wonder if the trend of “hurry” is due to produce faster and faster and with that to win more and more and more…. I just have NO IDEA !!! But sometimes I feel immerse in a increasing twister, where the only way to survive is to understand and produce everything very quickly.

 

* Puffffff….*

 

What I think I DO have idea about is: it is nothing wrong with the impetuousness, as long as I/we remember to do not be controlled by it. “One step at the time” is a very good advice I had gotten. And this advice is complemented perfectly with the idea: “Make haste slowly”.

 

Sometimes, if I am dominated by the hurricane of the rush, either I drown myself killing any type of movement and enjoyment, or the people surround me are the ones that get suffocated stopping the motion as well. 🙁 Neither one is the main goal. BALANCE is the key point here or…

 

…. Make haste slowly, by one step at the time. One more of my mottos from now on! 🙂
