On life’s happenstance and technology: A Shing02 short film
Filed under 21st Century Fashion, November 16th, 2012 by Admin I first knew Shing02 when I accidentally played a Youtube clip that combines hip-hop, jazz, classical and rap music, I first thought it was weird for a 2-month old baby, but later learned to love it since my oldest son keep abusing the replay button. Shing02 is a Japanese rapper and produces music in his genre which is rap and the like.
And another accidental moment with him was when I stumbled on this video at Vimeo, I didn’t know he’s into producing short films too, what captured me most was how relevant this short film is on how we live our lives with technology today.
I believe in life’s happenstance, this are these events in our lives that we thought we’ve arranged it but wasn’t really and they’re just pure chance circumstance. I know technology has somehow given each one of us a space, our own bounded space under the sun, but in some way also has distanced us and let us miss some of life’s splendid circumstance; I really wish we go back to the time and space where books were our past time and not smartphones and headphones. That previous time was I think made us more human and sensitive with the things that happen around us.
Shing02 call this Then-and-Now. It’s a brilliant and witty composition. Watch here;
the wonders of technology mommy Vernz. but whether we like it or not, technology has become a norms and we will for sure live the rest of our days with much smarter phones, high tech laptops and probably, a robot to do all our chores in the house… hehehe.
I love music especially singing
I usually play some dance music especially when I am doing the household chores to get me going but once the hubby arrive he turn the volume down 
Thats why I always want my kids to play outside than used the computer inside the house, my eldest can used it on weekends. I still love our life back then though. Nakakamiss.
I can’t watch the video maam Vernz kay error but i downloaded it so i can watch it later.
I too want to go back to the time when books were my best companions. Right now, it is my computer comes first, second nalang ang books.
These technologies we have right now are actually turning us into robots…kaso lang, this is our life now.
Technology is an advantage and there is also disadvantages. But it us up to us to limit ourselves too. I prefer you tube over Vimeo. To think our life is surrounded by technology, how much more the next generations to come and the next after?
technology can have a good and bad effect on us. It’s sad that we do old school way anymore. reading books in a traditional way is no longer used by many anymore because of the technology that provides virtual books and etc…
There are a lot of things happened as technology progresses, however, there are some things we stopped doing too because of this. I don’t know if it’s good or not but so far it’s making us all connected.
Our new era can do a lot more than we can imagine so I am not surprise…
i never heard of shing02 until now. thanks for sharing mommy verns. very nice video even though i cant understand much of the words, but the video says it all.
Technology improvement that is the reason why we are living in a techy world. I still prefer books over my celphone and laptop especially when I am in terminals or in long lines waiting for my turn. common scenario in airports and u can really compare the then and now.
in several years it is good. But more Hi tech now it is packed with Future technology such as connectivity, wireless and iPod connectivity. were living in Hi- technology World.
