Remembering seven years ago - it was the time I could not afford any item that fall outside the "needs" category.
All I wanted back then was a device that I could use for mobile purposes, organizer and most importantly, internet surfing. I was a stealth blog reader before. I visit a lot of blogs that time. I wanted to be preoccupied with the mundane and ordinary things of other people, all the others, except mine.
Now, an iPhone or an iPad can do all what I wanted seven years ago. I have these two currently, and I couldn't think of anything to ask for myself.
My wants are so easy and shallow that I have already reached my goals.
Haha.
Not really, I still have three offsprings to send to school.
But as for myself, and this may sound bothering to most of you (and sometimes i feel embarrassed to admit it) - I feel fulfilled and accomplished in this life. This is just a matter of increasing/leveling up my wants for myself.
This might be in a form of a new technology. Maybe. Or maybe it's time for me to move on to abstract wants like making a difference, fighting poverty, world peace, or eradicating world hunger.
