I went out yesterday on visitation. And as I went out from the hospital, one of my colleagues called me. It was because he forgot his key card on his house and just realizing it on the way to the office.
Security, everyone needs security. That’s why people has done such an extensive research just to find the best way to secure properties. At first, it was locking system with key and lock. Then it come with those advance locking system, CCTV, digital keypad, fingerprint, and maybe one part of it – keycard.
When people still using key and lock, it was difficult. You must insert the key into the hole, twist it, and sometimes it was difficult. My friend (the same one that let his key card at house) just broke one door simply because the key decide to stop working already.
But now, what you have to do is just to tap your keycard on the reader and there you get the door open. Everything is just very comfortable, fun, enjoy, and easy. Each one of us get very used into the system until when one of us forgot the key, then it happen. We just locked up and don’t know what to do. If you broke one door with simple lock and key system it might cost you 40 dollar, but when you broke one electronic security system the bills can boost to thousands of dollar.
This is the dilemma, we become slave to our own comfort. To make communication easier, more comfortable people invent telephone, but now the sense of privacy is really rare thanks to the advanced cellphone. In the past, we don’t have to worry of being impolite not answering any call, but now that reason became harder to resist simply cellphone is part of most people.
We have invent many things that we thought will make our life easier, but now all of those invention enslaved us into a virtual slave of technology.
What a pity, yet a reality
