Will there still be schools and teachers in the future?

People studying every single time they breathe the air, that’s what a wise man once said. These days, studying is identical with school, teacher, and books. School especially. About 80 percent human in this planet go to school every day to studying. But, as the technology grown, there is one question asked; will there still be schools and teachers in the future?

In one side, there are some inventions to ease studying. First are e-books, and the latest one, home-schooling. For home-schooling students, they don’t have to go to school like everyone else did. They just have to sit at home because all the materials are in their computer. E-books are also good. It will help us to understanding something. We could find some free e-books by connecting to internet. They were all made to ease studying.

In the other side, human is born to socializing. As the sociologist said, going to school is the time when people get interacted with others. The conditions are certainly will be different if we just sit alone at home. I'm pretty sure that there will be more people that choose to be together rather than being alone.

In the end, I would like to say that studying isn’t always about going to school and meet up with teachers. Studying is a part of human’s life, and will always been like that. No matter with whom, whenever, wherever. But I believe, there still will be schools and teachers in the future, even though they will appear in a different form.

Images of Indonesia : FINAL DRAFT

I have written report about “Images of Indonesia”, and it has been corrected by my classmate, Inayah Chaerunnisa. Based on her point, she found that I’ve made some mistakes.
1. All paragraphs seem didn’t match to each other because I didn’t put any connective sentences.
2. There are some sentences that have words which are not fit to each other.
3. Misspelled word
4. Formatting paragraph (font style and alignment)

Based on those points, I rewrite the report.

Every day, things get expanded. One of the biggest things that rapidly expanded is knowledge, especially for technology, usually known as ICT (Information, Communication and Technology). As an example, ten years ago, there are many people who used type machine to type something, also telephone and mail to communicate with other people in other place – which is probably far. That might take a long time, especially if we’re using mail. Comparing to these days, with only rely on a hand phone or PC tablet, every thing are possible to be done in any minute.

Moreover, teenagers were the biggest consumers of those utilities – called gadgets. Based on the survey and short interviews I’ve done to high school students, can be proved that all of them –minimally– are using smart phone. Most of them, said the reason they use it is to ease communicating. But, there’s also some respondents said they use it just because to following the recent trends.

On the other hand, gadgets are also everything to some of those respondents. They said that gadgets affect their life a lot. They confessed that they can’t live without their gadget surrounds them. Behind those reasons, we could simply conclude that they hardly ever socialize with anyone, directly. They only socialized by IM or sending message by Short Message Service (SMS).

As a conclusion, all we have to do is minimize the usage of our gadgets. In my point of view, this less using gadget (which is using electricity also) could save our energy. Besides, the radiations from the gadget could endanger our eyes. In the end, only use your gadgets if it is necessary, and do not over using.

WILL IT BE POSSIBLE TO LIVE FOREVER?

Human have their own age. Some people have a long life to live, but some just have a short one. A long or a short age that people have depends on who they take care of their self. If they love their self, I’m sure that they will take care of their self well. Like eat healthy food, keep themselves clean and many more. But it will be different if the do not love their self, the will never care what will happen to themselves. They do anything that the wanted to do, doesn’t matter if it’s a bad thing or not for them. This is a bad thing, and can be one of the reasons why people can’t live a long life. Or die fast.


If we think logically, there is no way that a person can live forever. Especially in this kind of age. But what if, we think on the other side, using our mind that maybe people never think of, or forget. Well it’s not really using an imagination, but we think out of the box. Nothing is impossible!


On my opinion, people can live forever! Maybe a few years from now people can find a machine that helps someone to live forever. They can create something to be put in our body that can make our organ stay fresh so they can work properly doesn’t matter how old we are. And some medicine that’s been made by the doctors and can make us physically young looking too. And maybe some people that have “super power” from the old ages. The have the “power” from (maybe) their ancestor that they believe. Maybe we think it’s impossible but his thing can happen. And if god says that someone should live forever, it can happen! People can live forever!  But we just don’t know when, or who it could be.

IMAGES OF INDONESIA

I interviewed my classmates on what they do during their free time, their favorite sport and their favorite food and drinks. In this report you will not only find out what people eat, drink or do during their free time, but you will also find out what people these days are like and how supportive of their country they really are.
Now let’s talk about food, about 60% of my classmates like foreign food and drinks like cinnamon roll, sushi, pasta, coca-cola, etc., while the other 40% likes Indonesian food such as, traditional fried rice, sate Padang, teh botol, opor ayam, etc. These results alone can tell us that most Indonesians rather eat fast food rather than Indonesian food; for example, if we go to the mall we often eat KFC, A&W, Hoka Hoka Bento, Sushi and other foreign food.
What do teenagers do during their free time? Well, most of the people I interviewed usually sleep or play computer during their free time, although, some people prefer texting or playing with their blackberry. We can see that technology plays a great part in our lives and no one can live without them. We can also see that teenagers these days have a lazy lifestyle, only a handful of people exercise, plant trees, or clean their neighborhood during their free time and I think, that quality should be planted in every Indonesians.
As for sports, almost all of my classmates like foreign sports like baseball, chess, football, etc. From my interview, no one likes Indonesian sports like, congklak, etc. From this interview we can conclude that Indonesian teenagers follow western traditions rather than Indonesia traditions. I think this kind of attitude should be removed from our heads and let Indonesian culture fill it back in. By reeducating our way of life we can improve this country and what better way to do that then doing Indonesian things and eating Indonesian food.

IMAGE OF LABSKY: FAST FOOD


The aim of this report is to find out how often do Labsky’s students consuming fast foods. This report’s information and data is based on several people of Labsky’s students that I interviewed. The questions that I asked are about how often do they consuming fast food and the reason why they consume it. Also which fast foods do they’re often to eat. 

Well, mostly people that I interviewed are answered that they consume fast food three times in a week, and the others are answered once or twice in a week. All of them are said that the reason they consume it is because fast food is practice and sometimes there’s no food at home, so, they delivery it, and fast food doesn’t cost a lot of money. One of fast foods that they often eat is McD, KFC, and burger.

From the information above, we can conclude that there are still many students in Labsky who often consume fast food. They still consume it even though they know the damage of it. Fast food is high in sodium, saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol. Eating too much over a long period time can bring a bad impact for our health, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity. So, from now on, we have to starting a healthy lifestyle, like trying to eat less fast food and eat more nourishing food, such as fruits and vegetables.

IMAGE OF INDONESIA

The aim of this report is to present what is popular in Indonesia. I interviewed some of my friends  and all the people in my family. The questions concerned about food and music.

Food: Over three-quarters prefer indonesian food. there are many indonesian traditional food, like gado-gado, sayat, nasi padang, etc. i interviewed my family, what kind of food they like. And my parents prefer satay and mi juhi. My siblings prefer nasi padang and nasi goreng. I also interviewed some of my friends. 1-2 peoples likes meatballs, 3-5 peoples likes satay, and the others prefer to western food and japanese food. My opinion a majority people in indonesia prefer to indonesian food, i also likes indonesian food. However, even there're many traditional indonesian food that i haven't taste yet. But i' m sure it will be tasty and delicious, and i will eat indonesain traditional food someday.


Music: I got a unique answer from this question. When i interviewed them, only my brother and my father who likes indonesian 80th-90th old music. My sister prefer to western and spanish music. I also interviewed some of my friends. No one of them likes indonesian music, they prefer to western and asian music. 1-2 peoples likes japanese music, 4-6(including me) likes korean music. and the other prefer to western music. My opinion mostly teenagers-ecspecially teenage girls- in indoensia prefer to korean or western music than indonesian music. According of those interviewed, did we know that indonesia have a lots of traditional and original music? well, maybe we know 'Dangdut' is the original genre music in indonesia, but my opnion, only the villagers who likes dangdut. We know that indonesian have a lots of traditional music, like Cik-Cik Periuk, Gundul Pacul, O Ina Ni Keke, etc. And we have to conserve our indonesian traditional music.

The surprising aspect of the report is that large number likes indonesian food. I was also surprising to find out that is lots of my friends listened to korean and western music than indonesian music. We can listened to western or korean music, but we have to know that indonesia still have a lots of beautiful traditional music

Teenagers were the biggest consumers of those utilities – called gadgets. Based on the survey and short interviews I’ve done to high school students, can be proved that all of them –minimum– are using smart phone.

Behind those reasons, we could simply conclude that they hardly ever socialize with anyone, directly. They only socialized by IM (Instant Messaging) or by SMS (Short Message Service). So don’t be surprised if we’re asking some teenagers about their neighbors, they would say "I do not know them at all".

As a conclusion, all we have to do is minimize the usage of our gadgets. In my opinion, this less using gadget (which is using electricity also) could save our energy. Besides, the radiations from the gadget could endanger our eyes. In the end, only use your gadgets if it is necessary, and not over using.
