/var/log/We broke us day by day

It is one of a beautiful story and a sad story mixed up. I always feel “not necessary to get it tomorrow” when I purchase at Amazon. My situation is that I wanted to buy one at other stores as much as possible but many times they don’t have it or the price was a really huge difference. If I find somewhere even if it’s a bit costly, I do buy from them instead of Amazon.

I think personally, also hear frequently from others that Amazon and Google are breaking the old era and retails. We want something super quickly, and easily, and get it at a super low cost also want quality. The Internet and high-tech devices allow us to get everything. But do we imagine breaking something at the same time? As well as we will also struggle to find a job because the machine can do it instead of you. I think we make us to make a “difficult” life more and more by ourselves because we want something new always.

I don’t use Google and Amazon as much as possible but sometimes so difficult as I said above.

I’m getting age day by day, and difficult to walk out more and more. I want to go out to see and buy something but the “online store” is definitely helpful to me as well. Another problem is… the retails are closing around my home which means a new problem will be the “distance” from my home then I may need to use the online store because the retails are too far from me.

Again… I think we make us to make a “difficult” life more and more by ourselves with a new tech.

Anyway, this is why Amazon and Google are so strong in this era I think.

By the way, I still love the paper books instead of the digitals.

Paper Book

This book is released in the 80s. The paper will be deteriorated but I still can read it!

Paper Book

I know the physical things are space eaters but they also have a big worth to have, for example, I don’t need to update my PC and care about the computer virus! :p
