Technology: more harm than good (6B Chan Chin Hung)

Since the Industrial Revolution in the 18^th century, advancement in technology has changed everything. People can communicate with others who live thousand kilometers away. Through advanced transportation systems, we can go everywhere. Most diseases can be cured. People’s life expectancy has become longer and longer. However, after a thorough analysis, someone has pointed out that technology does not benefit all people.

The first logical argument that comes to mind is that technology only benefits a small group of people in the world. Some people cannot afford to enjoy the benefits of technology. In fact, rich people or people from developed countries are the only parties to be benefited by advancement of technology. 10 percent of rich people own 90 percent of wealth in the world. Billions of poor people cannot get even clean water or enough food. As the advanced technology products like mobile phones, computers and vaccines for diseases are usually charged highly, the underprivileged cannot improve their quality of living. That’s the reasons why technology does not benefit all people.

Another negative effect technology has on people is the exploitation of the needy. Advancement in technology of Internet and transportation shortens the distance between people in different countries. Through globalization, some transnational corporations from developed countries have developed their businesses in developing countries. For example, electronic equipment producers like Apple and Google have set up a lot of factories in China and Southeast Asia due to the low salary level. These factories only offer a very low wage for local workers who cannot but accept the offer because of the lack of bargaining power. Some of them work for extremely long hours everyday and fall victim to the exploitation. Therefore, technology does not benefit all people but harm the workers in developing countries.

A more profound impact of technology on people is how it produces new forms of crimes. It is true that some technology is used in evil ways. Some wicked people make use of the advanced technology to break the law. A common example is that some hackers invade others’ privacy through the Internet. This kind of wrongdoing brings misery to victims and even brings huge social and mental pressure to them. For example, some actresses’ private photos were exposed to the public. Another example is some conmen swindle people out of their money by setting up fake bank websites. When people entered the passwords of their bank accounts, their money was withdrawn. In short, technology breeds new forms of crimes and harms the victims.
 
Some may argue that technology improves the standard of living of all people, but this argument is only superficially plausible. A common scenario is that technology improves only quality of life of some pole. In ancient times, the needy in the third world can only earn money by engaging in physical work. Nowadays, however, they are replaced by advanced machines. They can only stay at the same social level in their whole and cannot even have a chance to become richer. This unfair situation is brought by technology.

Technology is not as great as perceived by some people if not to all people. It leads to unfairness, exploitation and crimes. However, it is not the fault of technology itself. The key is that how it is used. It is time for another revolution, for people to remedy what they have done, for the sake of kindness and fairness.

A Drama Script – The Last Supper (2B Tang Sin Tung, Sandy)

Title: The Last Supper

List of characters: Jesus, Judas, Iscariot, James, 10 disciples

Setting: A house in Jerusalem,

             A few days before the Feast of Passover,
             In the evening
Act 1: Scene 2

Narrator:         Jesus:     All disciples:   James:   Jesus:       Judas Iscariot:

Jesus sits down again at the table. The disciples watch him quietly and attentively. They can see something is wrong with Jesus. He looks very sad because he knows he won’t be with them much longer. He will die on a cross soon.   (Very sad)(Preparing say to the disciples) I am sad because one of you will betray me.   (Horrified)(Looking at each other and wonder who will be)   (Look at Jesus)(Ask politely) Which one of us, Lord?   It is the one I give this bread to. (Taking a bread from the basket and break off it. Dip it in a dish and hand it to Judas Iscariot.) Do what you have to do!   (Ashamed)(Afraid to look at Jesus)I am sorry but I have to do that. Please forgive me, Lord. (Get up from the table and slip quickly out of the room into night)

Jesus:       All disciples:     Jesus:             Narrator:     Jesus:     Narrator:       James:     Jesus:       Narrator:

(Looking of the remaining disciples) I don’t want anyone of you betrays me again. Father loves us so much and gives us peace, hope and everything in this world. He’ll be sad if we don’t believe him.   (Hodding their head)(Saying to Jesus) Yes, we know that. We’ll follow you and Father forever until the end of our lives.   (Picking up a loaf of bread)(Close his eyes) Father, thank you for giving us a nice day that we can be together here to have a supper. Please give all of us the strength after having it so that we can serve others as we serve you. Amen! (Open his eyes)(Breaking up the bread)(Pass the pieces to the disciples.) Eat this bread which is my body and remember me.   Jesus picks up a cup of wine and gives thanks to God like what he did before. He passes it to the disciples.   This is my blood which I give for many people. Drink it and remember me.   When the supper is over, Jesus and the disciples sing a hymn. The disciples are worried and curious why Jesus did so many things for a supper. So James asks Jesus a question.   Lord, please answer me a question. (Politely) Why did you do so many things for us tonight? What happened to you?   I will die soon. This is the last supper with all of you here. Don’t worry! Father will lead us even though there is a big trouble in front of us. We needn’t do anything but believe him.   Although all the disciples are worried about Jesus, they can’t do anything to help him. The only thing they can do is to follow him.

 

End of Scene 2

A letter to my friend (2D Leung Yee Ching, Melody)

Dear Chris,

How are you? Are you busy these days? I miss you so much.

Let me tell you something about my school picnic. The school picnic is going to be held next Monday. You may think that I should be very excited, but I feel worried about this. It’s because the students who are responsible to organize the school picnic had an argument. They just keep arguing with the other members so they can’t discuss the picnic! I have tried to give some advice to them. However, they don’t listen to me. When is your school picnic? Are you going to join it?

I think I should tell you some good news now. I know you’re crazy about Beijing. The Beijing opera is going to be held in March in Hong Kong! You will return to Hong Kong in March so we can watch it together! The name of the opera is “Empress Dowager Cixi and Princess Deling”. It’s written by He Jiping and directed by your favourtie director, Fredric Mao! The story talks about Princess Deling who meets the Empress on day. Then she describes the West and becomes the Empress’ translator. It’ll be acted by Lao dan who sings in shrill and nasal voices. It’s cheap and I will go and enjoy it with you!

In addition, we may go to the Ocean Park while you’re in Hong Kong. It will be fun if we go there to play. We can also visit some museums. There will be so many things to do with you. I’m sure that we’ll have a good time!

Remember to write to me.

Best wishes,

Melody

Sacrifice is for drugs and love (3B Lai Ka Chun, Matthew)

In the ambulance, stone’s eyes were shut, being considered that excessive heroin had entered his eyes. After being sent into the operation room, Emma, Stone’s girlfriend, was sobbing with head down. A lot of unexpected things had happened. ‘Wait for me, I will probably come out from this awful hospital, Emma.’ Stone told Emma in a weak voice before having the operation.

Just two days ago, an immense roar came from the office of News Reporting Department. Mr. Wickedly, an obese man wearing tight braces lifted a chair up and broke it into half.

 ‘Someone must have stolen my wallet!’ shouted Mr. Wickedly.

‘Who’s so bold to have done it?’ whispered some of the employees, talking to each other secretly.

‘I saw Stone sneaking into your office and later hiding a black wallet with white diagonal lines when coming out. I can now make sure that the wallet is in the inner pocket of Stone’s jacket, Mr. Wickedly.’ recalled Pain, a horrid man having two gold teeth.

‘Stone, please show up in front of me with your jacket put on!’ yelled furiously Mr. Wickedly.

‘What’s going on?’ asked curiously Stone, having wavy hair and wearing blue jeans.

‘Take off your jacket quickly!’ ordered anxiously Mr. Wickedly.

Stone did as what Mr. Wickedly had said and then the back wallet was really found in the inner pocket. Stone’s mouth fell open. Actually, he had seen through that was the evil plot of Pain’s.

‘Any explanations?’ asked Mr. Wickedly.

‘I don’t know what to say, even you keep accusing me. It’s really not done by me.’ said stone, trying helping himself.

‘Let’s fire him, he still doesn’t admit this ounce of truth, Mr. Wickedly.’ grinned Pain.

‘Wait, Mr. Wickedly. I can photograph the hotspot of drug dealing dominated by the wanted, Toxic. For you as quick as possible, ok?’ interrupted Stone.

‘Can you really catch the moments of drug dealing to be the first reported scripting the headline?’ suspected Mr. Wickedly.

‘Exactly.’ answered confidently Stone.

‘Deal it!’ said Mr. Wickedly.

‘Maybe I just make use of my proficiency of being a reporter as an excuse.’ thought Stone.

Pain stamped on the floor. He was pressing the buttons to call Toxic and told him to murder Stone during the secret investigation.

In a fabulous restaurant, Stone had dated Emma to have a dinner with him. Both of them dressed in western style suit and dress. They had been getting along with each other for a long period of time. In the middle of the dating, Stone brought up the current work and mission courageously and shared them with Emma.

‘I’m following up… a case of photographing the process of drug dealing dominated by Toxic. I’ll go investigating after several days.’ said Stone.

‘Pardon? I think it’s not my hearing loss problem. Don’t you know how devilish Toxic is? Don’t you know this tremendous mission will get rid of you in case of any mistake?’ responded loudly Emma.

‘I absolutely know, I know, Emma. Listen to me, I am in charge of this and I have been determined to do so.’ replied Stone.

‘I also know your name “Stone”. Can’t you be that persistent as a real stone? As you know danger will come forward to you reporters, without telling you what’ll happen next!’ said Emma, starting to give some disputes.

‘I understand your feelings and concern about these. I’ll walk by faith to make proofs to you, Emma.’ insisted Stone.

‘Ok! That’s fine… I respect your decision but you must promise to have the mission completed and to be back without any injuries.’ said sensibly Emma.

‘Yes, I promise you, Emma. It’s the honourable commitment between you and I’ smiled Stone, then hugged and kissed with Emma.

The astonishing day came eventually. Stone was packing his digital equipment. No one had ever known what the result would be. Stone just knew he should go to the alcohol factory and photograph the moments of drug dealing between Toxic and a teenage called Wilson who was the son of Pain. After arriving at the factory, Stone stared at the gate and was thinking about how to have it done by perseverance.

Stepping into the corridors, where were some cupboards storing glasses of alcohol. Stone could hear the conversation between Toxic and Wilson and his awareness was aroused.

 ‘Twenty-eight packages of heroin here with payment $6750.’ said softly Toxic.

‘Thank you…thank you… these’re what I want.’ said Wilson, paying money with a shaking hand.

‘Who’s hiding behind that cupboard?’ awoke Toxic, pointing at the cupboard.

Virtually, Stone forgot to switch off the function of flash as that there was a bright light beam when he took the photos. Toxic discovered that Stone was there and then he grabbed a glass of alcohol to throw on Stone. Abruptly, Stone’s eyes started being hot as a fire was burning in his eyes.

The glass of alcohol floating in the air slowed down and was broken into pieces by the power of telekinesis. It frightened Toxic and Wilson, and even Stone was panicky. Toxic knew what to do with the circumstance so he took a package of heroin and unwrapped it, spead the white small solids in the air. Due to the speedy spread rate, the heroin entered the eyes of Stone whose telekinesis was spoiled. Stone’s eyes began being paralysed and painful. Stone dropped the camera and he could feel Toxic and Wilson escaping as far as possible. However, he laid down on the floor, bearing an unclear mind.

After a 9-hour operation, Stone lying on the bed was pushed out of the room by the doctors. Emma stopped weeping and quickly went to take a tight hold of Stone’s hands.

‘Your commitment is honoured, Stone.’ Smiled Emma, some weep falling down from her face.

‘I’ll not give up being with you.’ Said gently Stone, staring at Emma.

‘Toxic and Wilson’ ve been arrested and your photos of the camera is sent to be put at the headlines of today’s newspapers.’ Said Emma, with a relaxing heart.

‘It proves that the sacrifice of barely contributing my life brings me a kind-hearted girlfriend and wards off the bad effects of drugs spreading in the community.’ realized Stone.

Both of them smiled to each other, and then hugged together and kissed each other…

Laura and Samantha (3C Lung Cheuk Hang, Rita)

It was a sunny day. The weather was perfect for the first day of school. In the classroom of 5C, all students were glad to meet again and flocked to gossip. The bell rang and a teacher came with a girl. Everybody was curious who she was.

“Good morning everyone, I’m your new class teacher, Miss Chan. And this girl is your new classmate,’ Miss Chan announced, pointing to the girl beside her.

“Hello, I’m Samantha,” the girl said with a smile.

Samantha was a tall and pretty girl. She looked very mature and a little bit older than other students. Samantha was asked to sit next to Laura, who was helpful and intelligent. They became friends very soon.

“Laura, can you show me around?” Samantha asked after school.

“Okay, but not today. I need to go somewhere else. I’m sorry.” Laura answered embarrassingly.

After Laura had left school, she went to her boyfriend, Nick’s home. She saw many pills on a table and Nick was sleeping on a sofa.

“Nick, what’s up? Why are there many pills? Are you sick?”

“Don’t need to worry. I’m alright.”

“But how about these pills? Are you on drugs?”

“Shut up! Don’t speak like my parents! They don’t understand me but you should,” Nick shouted.

“Drugs are evil. I love you so I don’t want you to be hurt.”

“If you love me, you should take drugs with me,” Nick lost his temper.

Laura struggled a lot. Eventually, she was convinced. Since her first try on drugs, the problem started. Laura got addicted to drugs. She was not interested in anything, except drugs. As Laura did not pay attention in school and do homework anymore, her academic result dropped rapidly. Samantha noticed that there is something wrong with Laura.

“Laura, do you encounter any problem? You can tell me.”

“No! No! I’m fine,” Laura answered anxiously.

‘But why did you fail in exam? You usually get high marks easily.’

‘Umm…’ Laura did not want Samantha to know she took drugs.

Samantha realized Laura was so strange and decided to investigate.

Laura rushed to Nick’s home after school as usual.

‘Nick! Where are the drugs? ’Laura shouted as she could not find them.

‘Can’t you just zip up? You’re annoying. I lost my job and I can’t afford them,’ Nick shouted even loudly.

‘I can’t live without them!’

‘I have a great idea,’ Nick whispered, ‘deliver drugs!’

Laura thought a while, then she said, ‘I’ll do it. I’ll do everything for drugs.’

The next day, Laura went to a convenient store. Laura did not realize someone was chasing behind her.

‘Are you Laura?’ a stranger said.

Laura nodded.

‘Go to Tuen Mun Park. Find a man in brown jacket and jeans. Then give it to him and he’ll give you money.’ The stranger said and gave Laura a pack of drugs.

Laura left the convenient store. She was very scared. Her heart was pounding. She forced herself to look casual.

After a while, she reached Tuen Mun Park and found the man in brown jacket and jeans. She approached him slowly. Laura was sweating. As Laura attempted to give the drugs to him, someone grabbed her hand. It was Samantha!

‘You can’t do that!’ Samantha yelled emotionally.

‘Why are you here?’ Laura asked surprisingly.

The man was afraid to be caught so he ran away.

‘Freeze! I’m police.’ Samantha ordered.

Laura’s month fell open with surprise. Then, a large number of policemen came. Laura was frightened and almost fainted. She was caught and sent to a police station. Laura and Nick were found guilty and sent to prison at last.

A month later, Samantha went to jail to visit Laura.

‘How are you?’  Samantha asked sorrowfully.

‘I’m fine. I’m fighting my addiction to drugs.’

‘I’m sorry, Laura. I cheated you. I’m a policeman and my boss sent me to your school to investigate drug abuse in school. I really don’t want to catch my friend.’ Samantha sobbed.

‘I’ve thought a lot there. I was totally wrong and I deserved it. You don’t need to apologize. It was your duty. We are still friends, aren’t we?’

Samantha wiped off her tears. ‘What are you going to do in the future?’ She smiled.

‘I want to be a social worker. I want to teach teenagers not to take drugs. They can ruin your life. Knock drugs out!’
