Rejected by Seven Technologies Part II

Remember my last article about the theory that technology may make a hard life harder and a great life greater? Well, here is a touch of reality and let us not go far. Let us look at a plight of a poor law student.

A poor law student have to pay more for renting a computer which costs 20php per hour and for printing which costs 5php per page in order to submit a paper, than if the poor law student have to submit a handwritten paper (like in the 70’s).

A poor law student is less updated (having no cellphone, no personal computer and no internet access) when announcements by the dean, by professors and by the block president is communicated through this technologies. Especially if that announcement is “No Class Today!”

Thus, the hard life of a poor law student is made harder as the inventions on technologies progresses.

Thus, the poor law student must graduate from law school and pass the bar to be able to escape from this dilemma. Nice motivation.=)
