Computers

I wonder how they made computers with those chips and now known microchips. I wonder how such ideas can start from the MsDos during my time (been a while right) to the Windows or Apple application today. Seriously, I thought windows were for houses!

Chairs

I wonder how chairs get sturdy and fit people but not all sizes. Frankly, chairs are not one size fits all. Say, for children, you may need plastic play chairs.

I think there are angels in us no matter how some see cruelty in this world. There are kind and empathetic people. So choose the world with them, one that is happy – the one that’s filled with hope and laughter. A world that is positive by sharing a smile and away from toxicity and …
