I finally managed to set-up and install my 27” Apple iMac –
after 3 months of its arrival. I have been too darn busy to go through the
installation process, backing up the files on the old computer and transferring
them to the new iMac, which I still haven’t done - I mean transferring the old
files to the new Mac.
Migrating from a poorly calibrated 17” monitor to a
stunningly brilliant billboard sized 27” LCD takes a bit of getting used to.
Apple has always been noted for its GUI (graphical user interface). The
brilliance of their monitors takes your breath away!
First thing that I needed to do was to look for a great
looking Desktop image to compliment the capabilities of the Apple Monitor. I
settled for the following image, which I shot a few weeks back. I love the
strong colors and the ethnic miscellany of the knickknacks that go into making this
interesting piece of jewelry worn by the women from Laya.
Since the mid 80’s when I pioneered the import, adoption and
use of modern technology in Bhutan, even at the risk of going bankrupt, I never
allowed myself to lag behind in acquiring the latest and the spunkiest of
technology. But as I grow older, I am beginning to realize that technology has
an adverse effect on the competence of human beings. As new and more efficient
technologies are invented, there is a proportionate loss of humanness in us. The
heart is shrinking and the mind is getting oversized. Even as the medical
science is advancing by leaps and bounds, we suffer more and more strange and
incurable diseases. Even as our cities grow larger and glitzier, it is becoming
less and less livable.
Every human endeavor is directed towards securing our future
and protecting our lives. But the evidence that is emerging is that we have
achieved exactly the opposite. The earth is at peril because our technologies
have become very efficient.
The new techs. faithfully gathers senile aversion just for their worth. many are obsessed own them. I too want to own that imac as early as possible. but for now m happy for u. by the way i like your posts. keep writing.
ReplyDeleteYes, if not controlled, there is no end to desire. As a good Buddhist, if one can curb the unnecessary wants, then one is a much happier and healthier person. Differentiating between a need and a want has to be inculcated in our children especially in these fast changing times. Anyways, love your pictures, I mean the genchas...am sure your pics will have many desiring for them !
