Electronic Wonders

I realised the reason why you can't rely totally on electronic advances to get stuff done. It's because when you most need it, it betrays you. Complete Murphy's Law style.

My laptop 'blue-screen of death' ed me today, and I had all three TMUN articles to email (SEE how much we rely on technology?!?) to my chief editor before tomorrow. Imagine my chagrin, fear, depression and how much I just wanted to cry right there and then in McD once I realised that all my data could be lost in...... wherever deleted data goes.

And so I consulted our Student Council's resident IT Architect and Secretary General of TMUN to try get his help for extracting my data from my hard disk, if possible. Even with all his legendary skills, he could not do it, but recommended a place to me in Sim Lim Square.

So, in five hours, I went to Sim Lim Square, bought all the equipment I needed to extract the data from my hard drive, and did the TMUN stuff and sent it off. And until I confirmed that my data was indeed uncorrupted and could be extracted, I was freaking scared all the way.

Another piece of evidence that I myself, at least, rely a lot on technology. I met the ZAP people on the bus to Sim Lim Square today, and it seems that I require printing so many times that they know my face already... How remarkable...
