Part 2: Aida vs Technology

Assalamulaikum wrt wbt and hi!

I’m baaaaaaaaack………..hehe. How are you? I hope you are fine by the grace of Allah…inshaAllah. For KPTM lecturer who teach UiTM program, the new semester will begin next week. BERUSAHA! And at the same time, kawan-kawan MBA UiTM (KPTM in-house program), we’ll start a new course, Managerial Decision Analysis (MGT780) on Friday, 4^th December 2015. Furthering study and working is not easy without support from people around us (T.E.R.I.M.A.K.A.S.I.H) and inner strength that we need. One of the surah that I like is Al-Fath (Kemenangan). Even, the 1^st verse itself will make me (and you..) feel very peaceful. Sesungguhnya Kami telah membuka bagi perjuanganmu satu jalan kemenangan yang jelas dan nyata (48:1). Subhanallah.....

Ok. As promised, I will continue with Part 2: Aida vs Technology. Let us recall together (budget best jekn..adehhh) my Part 1: Aida vs Technology post. I did mentioned about car, spectacles, mobile phone and online transaction. In this post, I will share more about my experience with technology, or technology that are close to me. Ayuh!

1) Watch

The accessory (the MOST ESSENTIAL one!) that I always need to wear. I feel incomplete without it. Ayah is the biggest influenced in this matter. In my family, whenever, we excel in our studies, he will reward us with a watch. As far as I remember, I had 3 watches. The 1st one was Disney with Snoopy picture that I wore for a very long time from primary to secondary school. The 2nd one was Titus and I started wearing it from my diploma until graduated with bachelor (both jam given by ayah tercinta.... Terima kasih, yah). Currently, I’m wearing Rado bought by En. Syg almost 3 years ago. My Titus watch still functioning but I didn’t change the faulty bracelet yet (I can't find it...Huhu.)

Setia ni.. either on my right wrist or left. 

The technology of watch is amazing too. A Brief History of Watches will share with you the watch's timeline that started in 1485. Do you know that horologist and watchmaker is currently interested with development of smartwatch..? According to Smartwatch, the companies like Apple, Pebble and Motorola offered smartwatch with features like connecting to the internet, making calls, messaging via text or video, checking caller ID, accessing stock and weather updates, offering GPS coordinates, location direction and many more. This technology is known as wearable computing device that offers functionality and capabilities similar to smartphone. Sound super cool... Anyone of you that have smartwatch and willing to share your experience with me..? Plssss.. Below clip for Moto 360 by Motorola. Cantik sangat..

2) Bluetooth Wireless Remote

This gadget was introduced by En. Syg recently. Whenever, we go for a holiday, he will bring tripod stand and this remote, for his convenience (especially...). Previously, without this remote, he need to set his handphone for 10 seconds, and quickly run to me to take our picture.

Bluetooth wireless remote is suitable for iPhone 5S/5C/5/4S/4, iPad 3/2, iPad mini, iPad with Retina display, iPod touch 4th generation or newer, and Android Smartphone and tablet PCs with Android 4.2.2 OS or above (Aida pening..). The most important use for this gadget is, it allows you to freely take pictures at a long distance. Nowadays, we can have bluetooth headphones, bluetooth speakers, bluetooth keyboards and many more. Please read What is Bluetooth Technology to understand about this technology that originally created by Ericsson in 1994. I admit that this gadget make En. Syg happy and grateful (xperlu lari-lari dah...). How about you..?

Bluetooth Wireless Remote.. yg happykan En. Syg

Hasilnya..... hehe.

3) Comic

Suddenly, kn? Ya Allah, I am currently addicted to this. Hahaha... I like to read story book and my collection started when I was doing my diploma. However, due to the time constrain, I need to find alternative for my leisure time (yg sangatla limited ini....), since it took me about 15 minutes to finish reading (and berangan at the same time.....hehe).

I discovered a website discuss the history of comic strips that begun in 1827, and the earliest known comic book entitle The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck published in 1837. A very long time ago. Indeed, it was 188 years back! In Japan, comic book is referred as Manga. According to Early Origins of Japanese Comics, the earliest examples of pre-manga artwork that influenced the development of modern Japanese comics are commonly attributed to Toba Sojo, an 11th-century painter-priest with a whimsical sense of humor. Toba Sojo is the tradition of narrative art or telling stories with a series of sequential images that has been part of Japanese culture. My favourite comic known as shojo manga, or comics for girls (gegirl sangat....) where the characters will have big eyes and flowery backgrounds. Thanks to the technology that allows readers to read manga online at Read Manga online, for free! Yehuuuu!!!

Mine... Hahaha!!!

End of Part 2: Aida vs Technology. I hope you’ll find the information will be useful to you too. For me, technology is beneficial for a better quality of life. It will enhance your productivity in daily responsibility and activity. An ignorance people like me will slowly appreciate it, soon or later.. Well, it is just about time. However, in my opinion the excessive use of high technology gadgets also (that is uncontrollable) will somehow violate the social interaction  that emphasize by Islam. Sabda Nabi s.a.w yang bermaksud: "Jika sekiranya seorang daripada kamu berjalan bersama saudaranya dengan tujuan memenuhi keperluannya (dan baginda menunjukkan isyarat dengan jari-jari baginda) amalan itu lebih utama dari ia beriktikaf selama 2 bulan di dalam masjidku”,  hadith riwayat al-Hakim. Technology's advancement never ends! Berpada-padalah.. and be wise. As a reminder, credit to Deseret News. Thanks! 

Emmm. Do you know on how to download clip or video from YouTube..? I just learnt on how to do it (ketinggalan...). InshaAllah in my next post, I’ll share the step with you, ok? Till then.

Dear readers, many thanks!

P.S. Aida is listening to The Rock - Munajat Cinta
