The race kicks off...technology or ethics?

State of the art technology somehow possess its own drawbacks. Question asks: why are these giant speed challengers be behind the wheels, when natural resources scarce exist ages ago? My answer would be: these represent humans' achievements, as a measure to the attempt of maximizing speed. The argument here speaks that is it necessary to exhibit what we have like that? True enough... Technology owes the environment an apology. To be optimistic, can't technology be considered as a promising solution to nature's problems? Again, we go back to what humans have created. It's an infinite series. Problem arises as each solution is being pin-pointed.

Vehicles symbolize a significant ease of life that man has ever created, transporting humans and their belongings to all parts of the world. Cars, one of the most frequently used transport can speed up a two hour walking journey to just 15-20 minutes. To a certain extent, some might just take a second or two. As the number of cars grew exponentially, pollution and traffic jam issues arises. I do not have much to speak on pollution, considering I am a polluter as well, though not an active one. Traffic jams! One of the most critical issues in developed cities. Not going to far, Kuala Lumpur. More specific, Sepang. One side of the road mark the lightning speed of giant machines maneuvering around the curvy track, wailing its ear-drum breaking frequency, opening to the eyes of the world that a grand prix is on. The opposite side of the road witness long queue of cars in multiples of four. Modern tar covered roads don't seemed to fulfill the necessary space despite it's a four lane high way.

Roads are cleared to make way for the VIPs, civilians trapped between the long stretch of humans' most sophisticated carrier - CARS. The question here is, has our technologies done its part? Or is it causing more troubles instead? Something that road users can be skeptical about is that, are the roads build for the sake of civilians, are the taxes collected to be channeled back to us as government spending? Or is it an alternative for VIPs to escape traffic jams by the wailing siren of their escorts?

I was lucky enough to be on the bus back to college on that auspicious (to those at Sepang F1 circuit) and frustrating (to those trapped in traffic jam) day. Public transport were not on schedule due to this event. Emergencies turned out to be disasters. Time came up last in (the drivers') mind despite F1 marked something that challenge time. Why? Has the privatized company forget that customers have their own right too? Or are they just slotting as much money as they can, dumping customers half-way and tell them rescue is coming in 15 minutes when it's an hour late?

Thank God I made it on time. Last minute scan, but at least I don;t need to visit the warden's office for another 6 times in this coming weekend. Again, all this heads back to the word "TIME".

...

This might be the last that we ever had, but that won't mark an end to the ties. We're belonged. We will last, despite it would take up to days to make the two ends meet in a few months time. It's only a year, and I will make it through. She will be fetching me in airport one day.

pray...
