Isaac Newton #AfterNote

Who doesn’t know Isaac Newton? The story of the falling apple.

At the beginning, like any other people, I admire Isaac Newton for his superb invention, law of gravity, his theory of light and color. It gives me an impression of how bright he is.

Yet, after watch this video, I smile. He’s just like any other human being. He is genius, certainly. And he is weak at some other parts as well. He’s a hopeless farmer in fact. And For the truth, he’s neurotic person.

Some said he even belongs to the freemasonry society. Yet here comes the shocking truth. It revealed from his own writing. He denied trinity. He admitted the oneness of God (Tauhid). He mentioned that Jesus is only a man.  For me, it's still unbelievable. 

Moving on, I found another surprising thing about Newton as he realized about the Divinity. He then dealt with chemical. And become his passion. Buried himself in an exploration of how life begins, and deathly curious about gold. Suddenly, I remember a book with such very similar story. The Alchemist, of Paulo Cello. The scientist, is it Newton he’s talking about?!

He’s a man who opens the door.

   

Technology Revolution #AfterNote

The fast changing of today’s technology, certainly it brings much of help into human life. Yet, it might create another problem as well to the society, to human.

In terms of language for example. Scientists eager to build a smart car, automatic, which can drive by itself. so all we need to do is just sit and watch. the car control itself. so there might no traffic jam, traffic accident. As the effect, the word of traffic accident, or traffic jam, sooner will disappear from our language.

Another problem, as the scientist discuss in the video, people become less talk in the real life. since they prefer to have a conversation in the visual life. With the avatars.

Apart from that, do not be surprise if we find a person might be very different in the virtual world, or second life, to his/her real life. Different personality.

Now talking about computer, and robot, an intelligence machine most people say, what do you think of them creating such a fuss into human life? They help us so much. Getting information, doing our work, even become human/worker substitute in the factory. There! There it is! Have you ever imagine, that the use of robot, instead of human resource in the labor field, it can cause labor problem. Most people will be jobless. Poverty rate increases. Isn’t that horrible?!  

It is an irony. The coming of new technology in our life, it might solve a problem. And yes, it does. Yet, we should be aware as well that it might create another new, unimaginable problem, we never have before.

machine becomes like human, and human becomes like machine.
