It's hard sometimes to find a topic of interest to write some questions, exercises out. After running over the textbook so many times, it really gets boring and uninteresting. I fall asleep reading it looking for topics at times. I think I have been caught by my boss falling asleep at least 3 times already in the spent of 1 year.
I am not if I am getting old or something but last year, I actually get more energized around 5-7pm just when I am able to leae but now I can hardly bare to last beyond 6pm. My brain just get worn out and the side of my head begins to feel some kind of sensation as if something is pressing against it and I get a sharp intense pain on the upper right middle of my head and I do get weary and tire with little ability to process things. Am I too old already, too old to work hard and beat up my life?
I am reading books for work and the pictures remind me of my experience reading at home as a kid. I realized that we had quite a lot of books for me to read when I was a kid and thought about why my brother is not much of reading person. Well, internet. I think internet really dumb up people. It takes quite some to land a book in your house. It's has to be worth, books are not free and it kidn of go throught a selection process with, for example, a kid that was attracted by the book title, book cover, topic and illustration (maybe). And then he has to go to his parents and ask or demand to buy the book.. The dad and mom probably look over the book, quickly scan it and weight its value, and then check the price. With responsible parents, only a good book would get the "pass". So there is a selection or quality control process on books at home.
The internet, however, is a whole other place where there is little parental control on content, and of course, kids choose the "entertaining" stuff even if there is little real content of substance from the kid's selection on a computer in the WWW. I think that's why we find kids being more and more isolated and alienated from the real world, because they don't have to. They get to choose to be in different world.
