  1. Yvonne Padmos:

    Some humans strive to squander precious time while complaining about the advancements of technology, blinded to the fact that it can grant them the luxury of more moments with their cherished ones. Embrace innovation, for it offers opportunities to learn and bask in the warmth of love, rather than merely wasting away in the endless abyss of mindless media consumption.
