Not another hype

I’m on the eve of my examination week. The stress has started to build. Headache, difficulty to sleep. That is all I have to face every semester. I am tired and bored of exams. Why do they have to exist. Can’t we just learn and not be graded? Since I was a little boy, the teachers and lecturers ask us to be individually unique. How can we be unique and be graded by standardize examinations? And the lecturers, why do you have to make such a hard paper. Just make it as easy as possible. Then the students’ grade will be better. I do think that is a win-win situation.
Yesterday I was browsing the web and I found out the iPhone was just released in the US. That is kinda funny. People camping out just to be the first to get their hands on the iPhone. Apple make such a pretty product, I do admit it. But for the price, I do think we can get better phone.
What is so great about the iPhone? Yes we can get all the basic phone needs, but do we really have to spend USD$600 plus monthly to get that? Or do we have to spend that amount of money to get an MP3 player? I really don’t think so. I do think it is just another technology hype. It doesn’t even support 3G! There is more downside than up.
Here is a list of the things you can buy instead of iPhone (as stated in Crave blog):
- An 8GB, and a 4GB, and a 2GB iPod Nano
- An 80GB and a 30GB iPod
- Seven iPod Shuffles with $40 left over
- A Playstation 3
- A Nintendo Wii, and a Xbox 360 Core System, and a year of Xbox Live Gold
- An Xbox 360 Premium, and a year of Xbox Live Gold, and a Xbox 360 media remote, and a Nintendo DS Lite
- A Nikon D40 digital SLR with a 18mm-to-55mm lens
- A Panasonic DMR-EH75V DVD recorder/80GB DVR/VCR deck and a Panasonic SC-HT40 home theater in a box
Phew. That is a long list. So I think people should reconsider buying an iPhone.
Now, back to me. I really think that I need to calm myself down. I need to get this stress out of my system, before it get worst. I haven’t met anybody for a long time. I do chat or call my friends but they are not as same as meeting someone in person. Maybe tomorrow I’ll go to school and just meet someone there.
Okay. That’s all for now. I wanna continue watching movie. Then I will continue study. I have to. Don’t want to fail any of the subject this semester. I hope not.
Ciao.
