FOMO Phenomenon Among Teenagers
FoMo is an abbreviation of fear of missing out, the understanding of this is a condition where a person experiences worries and fears of being left behind by news or ongoing trends.
People who experience FOMO will often feel left behind among friends or other people, also feel outdated and not social. Those who experience FOMO also have the notion that other people have very happy lives, are always having fun and have a much better life than themselves.
This condition is felt by many teenagers, especially for those who are active in using social media. Although social media has many useful things, it cannot be denied that social media also has a negative impact. Many people are competing to be the most up-to-date about certain information and show fun on social media.
Not infrequently this activity triggers other people to have jealousy, this can result in other people feeling their life is not fun and not fun. The feeling of FOMO can also be related to the desire to always be involved in lots of fun or proud moments so that they can be uploaded on social media.
For the sake of showing and pursuing the existence and recognition of others, some and even many people intentionally post or post pictures, writings, and display images that do not suit themselves.
What is the impact of FOMO?
From existing research, the impact of FOMO is a feeling of disconnection from others and a sense of dissatisfaction with life. According to a 2013 study published in the journal Computer in Human Behavior, people who have high levels of FOMO tend to feel less connected to their daily lives.
Seeing other people's uploads that show happiness, success, etc. causes people who experience FOMO to question their abilities, and even question the existence of their lives. This feeling of being left behind over time will cause anxiety which will trigger excessive stress
**The following are ways to avoid and overcome the occurrence of FOMO, namely by:**
Limiting time on social media
Realizing that what is uploaded on social media is a fabrication (things uploaded on social media are not as beautiful as the reality, people only upload their happy moments)
Focus on your strengths or potential
Be grateful
Meditation

This is the Technology Embedded in MotoGP Bikes
MotoGP is the most prestigious motorcycle racing event in the world.
How not, in the MotoGP event a lot of sophisticated motorbikes are on display. Starting from manufacturers Yamaha, Honda, KTM, Suzuki, Aprilia, Ducati. All are competing in creating a recipe for how the motor can go fast.
If you look at the early days of MotoGP's debut, the motors that were shown only prioritized engine speed, over time, they only thought about developing the chassis on the motorcycle, after that they developed technology starting from aerodynamics and developing many more racing supporting technologies.
If you think about it, MotoGP motorbikes are like prototype motorbikes because the technologies installed are almost not found on motorbikes that are traded on the market.
However, whether in the following years, the technology on MotoGP motorbikes could be embedded in general motorbikes. Although not all.
Now can you imagine how much technology is embedded in MotoGP motorbikes?
Brake Cooling Duct
Brake Cooling Duct was first introduced by the Ducati manufacturer at the MotoGP event. This technology is useful for flowing air from the front so that the brake calipers are not too hot. Another benefit of the brake cooling line is that it maintains a normal engine temperature because the engine is always exposed to fresh air.
Swing Arm
Swing Arm is a frame that is attached to the rear wheel and front frame of the motorcycle. The swing arm is an important part where the swing arm serves to keep the motor stable and not shaken on an uneven track or track.
Traction Control System
The traction control system has a function so that the motor remains stable and does not slip when cornering. This technology is designed to minimize the risk of the rear tire slipping when the motorbike is maximizing its acceleration.
This technology has often been used by MotoGP racers. This is because the track from MotoGP is winding with several corners that make it difficult to turn the motorbike.
With the presence of this technology, racers do not need to have difficulty in sharp cornering. Moreover, even slippery curves can be passed easily.
Brake Lever Protector
Brake lever protector is an additional part that is added to the gas lever as a hand protection when there is a collision with another racer.
Brake lever protector has started to be used by every MotoGP bike because previously there was an incident involving Pedrosa, Melandri, and Capirossi at the 2006 Catalunya GP. And at the Grand Prix Commission at Valencia 2011 it was the first time that brake lever protector was used by all motorcycles.
The technologies that I have mentioned are technologies that are now starting to be embedded in motorbikes sold on the market. Such as Yamaha R25, NMAX, Honda PCX, and many more.
For the sensors installed on MotoGP bikes, it is no less important. Sensors are used to support motor performance in addition to a capable engine.
According to the data I have collected, there are approximately 50 sensors embedded in MotoGP bikes.
Some of the important sensors embedded in MotoGP bikes include:
Launch Control System (LCS)
This sensor is used to regulate and limit the rotation of the motor engine.
Usually the LCS is used at the initial starting position. The LCS dampens the excess rpm when trying to accelerate before the red start light goes out.
The LCS easily functions so that the motor doesn't wheelie easily when starting.
Use the LCS by pressing one of the buttons on the left handlebar.
Wheelie Sensor
The wheelie sensor is used so that the front tires are not easily lifted when there is over-power hardening during acceleration. Usually when the motor comes out of the corner.
The wheelie sensor functions to regulate excessive force on the motorbike and detects front tire movement.
Lean Angle Sensor
This sensor will record the tilt angle of the motorcycle when it is in a corner. The lean angle sensor is used to find out how many degrees of inclination and rpm the motor reaches which will later be useful for mechanics.
Suspension Sensor
The front and rear shock data output is very useful about how the shock conditions work when cornering, braking and exiting corners.
From the data seen on the monitor screen will be analyzed.
The analysis is whether or not the driver's braking point is correct or whether the pretentious setting is correct when the driver is in a corner.
Those are some of the sensors that are embedded into MotoGP motorbikes that are very important and useful to support their motorbikes while on the track.
Actually there are many other important sensors. As I have said before, these sensors are approximately 50 important sensors. And some have functions that are interrelated with each other.
Climate Change Disrupts Human Mental
Eco-anxiety is a chronic anxiety disorder caused by fear and worry about possible future natural disasters
Climate change has a negative impact on our health due to air pollution, the spread of disease, and malnutrition due to food crises. Apart from having an impact on our physical health, climate change can also have a negative impact on our mental health. Worrying about the impact of climate change can trigger us to experience feelings of excessive anxiety.
This feeling is also known as "environmental anxiety." The earth we live in or we live in is not doing well. Natural disasters happen everywhere From the deadly flood in Adonara which built more than 100 people, and the earthquake that occurred in Indonesia.
Factors causing climate change, among others:
1. Greenhouse gas effect due to excessive use of electric tools
2. Global Warming
3. Damage to the ozone layer which is produced by active or lying trees and does not carry out reforestation or reforestation 4. Damage to forest functions by forest fires
5. Uncontrolled use of Chloro Flour Carbon (CFC)
6. Waste gas from industrial waste dumped in the sea
There are several ways to deal with symptoms of environmental anxiety:
1. Take concrete actions to help protect the environment, such as doing reforestation, implementing a sustainable lifestyle by reducing waste and processing waste.
2. Educate yourself with accurate information about environmental developments and tips that can be done in the event of a crisis.
3. Focus on resilience, namely people who feel positive about their ability to cope with stress and anxiety better than people who lack confidence in their resilience abilities.
4. Building an optimistic mindset accompanied by real efforts that have a good impact on the environment.
5. Do physical exercise or exercise regularly to help manage feelings of stress and anxiety experienced.
6. If you are too stressed because of being exposed to various negative information about the environment, take a break from media interactions, whether television, radio, or social media.
7. Consult a doctor or psychologist if feelings of anxiety are increasingly disturbing and affect daily productivity.
motivation:
One of the things that damage the environment is human greed and greed. Humans who often use excessive energy and exploitation of nature on a large scale have caused damage to the earth. If nature is angry, humans can no longer do anything, maybe just surrender, pray, and beg for forgiveness for their greed.
Therefore, before the environment is damaged and nature is angry, we better anticipate so that future generations can enjoy it, so let's wake up the spirit to do reforestation or reforestation. One way to save the environment is to continue to campaign for the serious impacts of global warming and climate change.
Counselor Character
Guidance and counseling is a service that is needed by the community in life, both education and other fields. So of course we also have to know more about the elements contained in counseling guidance, one of which is by understanding the counselor we will discuss.
The counselor is one of the elements contained in counseling guidance as an expert or professional officer in the field of counseling to provide services to the wider community. The counselor as someone who observes the personality, problems and other matters concerning the client in order to solve problems, provide advice, motivation and appropriate solutions according to the knowledge they master.
It can be said that counselors have enormous urgency, especially in the service of problems for the younger generation who are still synonymous with unstable attitudes.
Counselors also have several characteristics that we must know, including:
Personality characteristics, namely the counselor as an educator and also as a mentor for the client being treated.
Characteristics of knowledge, namely counselors have broad insight related to the psychological sciences and sciences that support the development of better counseling.
Skill Characteristics, namely the ability of a counselor to build good communication with clients so that clients feel comfortable in expressing their feelings as well as counselors are able to provide information by interpreting it so that clients can easily understand it.
A counselor can be categorized as a professional counselor if he has the following characteristics or effective personality:
Counselors who are open so that clients feel confident with what is interpreted by the counselor.
Counselors have an in-depth understanding of the observations and assessments made.
Counselors who have competence as good communicators.
Mental Health for a Strong Soul
Currently, mental illness has become an issue that is widely discussed among teenagers. Not a few teenagers who suffer from mental illness. According to the WHO or the World Health Organization, it is estimated that 10 to 20 percent of adolescents experience mental health problems.
Unfortunately, there are still many teenagers who are less sensitive about mental illness. Undiagnosed mental health can result from a lack of knowledge or stigma about this issue.
Let's explore first what is meant by mental health. Mental health or mental health is a condition in which individuals realize their potential and can cope with the stresses that occur. Mental illnesses usually arise due to the influence of events that occurred in the past and have a major impact on the personality or behavior of individuals.
Factors that usually trigger the occurrence of mental illness in adolescents are bullying, peer pressure, academic expectations, changes in body shape to violence that occurs in their environment.
Mental disorders experienced by individuals can change the way a person behaves with others, causing a desire to hurt himself, to suicidal ideation. If this is experienced continuously, mental illness or mental disorders will arise.
Mental disorders that are often encountered are bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, psychosis, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Mental disorders can occur in certain types of sufferers, such as the baby blues which only affects mothers after giving birth.
There are some early symptoms of mental illness. Among them are delusions or hallucinations, loss of ability to concentrate, constant fear, excessive anger, drastic mood swings, and many other early symptoms of people with mental illness.
Here are healthy steps to improve mental health in adolescents, including respecting their ideas, giving love, and encouraging them to be more able to talk about their feelings.
There are efforts that can be made if the teenager has a mental illness or disorder. The following are efforts that can be done, namely by taking them to a psychiatrist or psychiatrist, living a healthy life and taking medicines recommended by the doctor.

Green Areas in the Modern Era
Green areas in modern times are very difficult to find especially so many new buildings are present and forest narrows because roads are built to facilitate access from one city to another and from one area to another as well as from one village to village. other .
This is what makes forests less and less green land in the current era and era, if asked "it is important or not for us to plant as soon as possible" surely our answer is very important because land for planting is increasingly difficult to find as a result of development new building construction.
"How do you grow plants in the modern era and can take advantage of the narrow land in the city?" he answered by planting plants on the top of the building with modern techniques that are currently being developed in developed countries, usually they already use such techniques.
As in the picture above, it is a form of utilizing a narrow land to plant plants on the roof of a building, this technique is used on the top of the roof of the house, etc.
In this day and age, few people care about the conditions around them, they are not aware of the importance of planting plants and greening the environment and what are the benefits of being green and the impact on their own health.
Here are the positive impacts when the environment becomes green:
Reduce pollution.
High temperatures due to global warming can be suppressed.
Prevent landslides.
Increases the earth's oxygen levels.
Renewal of renewable natural resources.
Increase supply for human needs.
Encouraging new biodiversity.
Provides animal protection and supplies.
**Environmental changes for human life**
Like the following:
Clearing land for industrial needs and other economic activities.
The increasing use of the number of vehicles, both motorbikes and cars.
Fishing by using explosives so that it can damage the surrounding marine ecosystem.
Poaching using hazardous materials.
**Bad impact if the environment is damaged**
First, humans are at risk of developing dangerous health conditions such as, for example, asthma and pneumonia due to air pollution.
The other two bad impacts are the loss of biodiversity.
The third impact on the economic sector.
**The negative effects of the environment caused by humans include:**
Flood due to large-scale deforestation.
Landslides due to deforestation.
Fires caused by irresponsible humans.
Water resources such as coral reefs and fish that died due to underwater bombing".
Dirty air and police caused by human vehicles and work tools.
That's the bad and good impact if humans want to take care of the environment around them, let's both plant plants for greening the environment because those who occupy this earth are not only humans but there are plants and animals.
If our environment becomes clean and comfortable, we as humans also feel the positive impact of our environment, which was originally difficult to get clean water if our environment is cared for, it will be easy to get clean water. our environment is maintained because vegetable and fruit plants will be easy to get.
Torch War Tradition in Indonesia, Exciting Fire Blows with Great Historical Value
Those of you who have had burns will understand how painful it is to be hit by fire. The heat can scald your skin, the pain will continue to be felt even until there is a scar. Hot and sore, right? Now try to imagine what if your whole body is beaten using coconut fronds and burnt banana leaves. Doesn't it hurt?
Maybe that's what you will feel when you see the tradition of "Torch War" in Indonesia. The unique tradition of hitting each other with fire.
**Aiming to ward off disease, this dangerous tradition from Indonesia seems sacred and epic**
It's natural for you to question that, about why you have to play with fire?. Just imagining being hit already hurts, what if you get hit with a burnt coconut rib? Of course the sensation of pain, stinging and heat will torture your body. So, if you already know that it's torturous, why are you still doing it?
Indonesian people actually have meaning when they carry out the tradition that at first glance looks 'torturous'. Although it seems torturous, but the purpose of this tradition is noble. Aims to ward off disease.
It's not done haphazardly. This tradition has a sacred side. There is a prayer session before the torch war ritual is carried out. In line with the initial intention to refuse the arrival of disease, of course, prayers for the torch war to run smoothly must take precedence.
**The flickering fire from the torches played in the torch war tradition is beautiful. Like dancing, the sparks make the atmosphere even more festive**
When you hear news or articles related to this torch war, maybe what you imagine is horror. Yes, that's fair. How can anyone not be horrified when they imagine themselves being hit with a coconut shell covered in flames?
However, if you see with your own eyes the horror seems to be covered by the beauty. There is a festive, majestic and epic atmosphere that radiates with every flick of the fire. Not to mention the sparks when the torch hit the body of one of the participants. Guaranteed you will be stunned by it.
**But even though it seems dangerous, the torch war tradition does not actually cause casualties. The committee has prepared everything**
Beaten by using a coconut frond wrapped in fire, of course there were participants who were injured. The blisters and stinging from the burn were evident. Likewise with your body pain after being beaten. Just imagine, there are 30 participants who can beat anyone for about an hour the procession lasts. If you were there, there would be no way your body could come out unscathed.
Amazingly, although the torch war ritual has often been carried out, no lives have been lost. The committee has prepared everything to protect the participants who take part in the tradition of this torch war. Starting from starting the ritual with prayer, asking for smoothness throughout the ritual to preparing medicinal ingredients from leaves mixed with coconut oil, it has been proven to be able to overcome the loss of life.
**If it is traced from history, you will not believe it. I don't know how, sparks can actually ward off disease outbreaks**
Maybe you're wondering, "how did this tradition start with the torch war?". A reasonable question considering this tradition is quite dangerous. Most people would doubtless question the origins of this challenging and dangerous tradition.
In fact, this torch war tradition was discovered 'accidentally' by Kyai Babadan and Ki Gembong. According to legend, Kyai Babadan entrusted his goats to be herded to Ki Gembong. However, because they are lulled by the fish and shrimp in the river, the cattle are forgotten so that they get sick or die. Kyai Babadan, who did not accept Ki Gemblong's negligence, beat Ki Gemblong with a torch from a coconut rib.
Who also wants to be beaten with a torch? So, to defend himself, Ki Gembong took a similar torch. They both hit each other with flaming torches, sparking sparks. Unexpectedly, the clash of the two torches spread fire in the haystack next to the cage. Cattle that were initially sick suddenly recovered.
Well, since then this tradition is trusted by the Indonesian people. And continues to this day.
If you want to see it with your own eyes, please go to Indonesia, precisely in the province of Jepara. The Torch War is routinely held every Pahing Monday, Pon Tuesday night in the month of Dzulhijjah in the Javanese or Arabic calendar.
Important Preparation Before Going Camping
The more you come here, this activity is getting more and more happening among young people. It has become a favorite activity too when the weekend arrives. Visiting the outdoors, doing something simple but still fun, it's better to just go camping. Sleep looking up at the night sky, observing the stars and other celestial objects accompanied by the warm bonfire. Ahhhh, which favor of God can you deny? However, camping or going camping is not something you want. There are a few things that deserve your attention first. Especially for beginners.
**Do some research or small observations first about the camping location you are going to**
Determining a camping location is certainly the first and main thing to consider when deciding to go camping. Because the location will clearly affect the preparations that must be made. Find out first about your camping destination. If it turns out that it is prone to flooding or a volcano erupts, it can endanger you. Research and observations are important for the safety and security of you and your friends. Location will also be related to access to get there, whether it is close to water sources or even residential areas. You must know everything.
**If the first thing to find out is the general camping location, the second is about the location where the tent can be set up. Look for a stable and flat plain**
Wherever you go camping, whether in the forest, mountains, beach, or even in front of your house, look for a stable and flat plain as a location for the tent to stand. For example, on the beach, there are special tips, you have to pay attention to the distance between the tent and the sea. The people around used to ask around where the tide limit was usually. The stakes in the sand must also be deeper than the soil in the mountains. Also, avoid places where there are lots of reptiles or insects.
**After that, the tent business. If you say the higher the tent, the cooler it will be**
First, choose a tent that suits your needs. But actually the function of a tent wherever you camp is only one, protecting it from rain, wind, and heat. One thing you should pay attention to, the height of the tent has an effect on wind catching power. The lower the tent, the more resistant it will be to wind. So you don't have to compete with the neighbor's tent. The material of the tent should not go unnoticed, it is better to choose one made of nylon, because it will provide good insulation from humid temperatures. Size is also important, it is better to choose one that is light and practical to carry everywhere. Never forget a layer of raincoat on your tent, so that the dew doesn't penetrate and disturb your rest.
**Regarding equipment, it actually adjusts the location of the campsite. But there's one thing you shouldn't miss, the source of light**
Common items such as clothes. If in the mountains, bring something that can warm you, if on the beach, bring something thin and absorb sweat. But still wherever the location is later, the jacket should not be absent from your backpack or carrier. It is definitely useful to protect the body from the wind at night. Sources of lighting such as head lamps, flashlights or extra petrol lamps should also not be left behind.
**Regarding nesting or cooking utensils and food ingredients, you don't really have to prepare them. But if you make fun, of course you have to bring it**
Actually this one question still depends on the location. Now there are many beaches in the southern Malang or Gunungkidul areas, for example, that have adequate infrastructure, such as food stalls that are open 24 hours. This is clearly beneficial for those of you who don't want to be complicated and heavy carrying luggage? You may decide not to bring nesting and food ingredients at all. But this of course does not apply if you are camping in the forest or mountains. A small gas stove that can be folded practically can be your priority. Do not leave plastic cutlery and matches in your house.
**Never rely on GPS when camping. Compass and manual maps are worthy of your consideration as a carry-on list. Pay attention to health and safety**
Bringing a compass and a manual map will also be useless, if one of you and your friends don't have the ability to use it. GPS can actually be used as alternative reinforcements later. But yes, if you are experienced, you will know that this technology is unreliable in the wild and easily damaged. The first aid kit can't be missed. With all physical activities such as trekking, hiking, and running, you will not be immune from abrasions. A copy of your data should also be prepared. It might sound trivial, but believe me, it's better to be prepared for the worst case scenario.
One of the most important things from all the preparations above, camping activities will be much more fun when you keep away from all gadgets, and spend most of your time interacting. Both with friends and with the natural surroundings. Sitting together around a bonfire, warming your body and heart while exchanging life stories so far will make your camping even more memorable.
The Ups and Downs of Being a Teacher in the Millennial Era. Mentally Strong and Have Patience
Lately, there has been a lot of news on social media, internet, mass media, regarding the disrespectful treatment of students towards their teachers. Some even went viral because there were other students who recorded and uploaded the ethical violation to their social networks. It's sad to see this incident, which has happened several times.
One day my friend also told me how difficult it is to teach in this millennial era. He asked me if it happened because he was one of the students who was a bit stubborn at school? But, I don't think so. Because I myself also get the same treatment as what he experienced.
**As teachers, of course, we can get angry. But, we also think about what consequences we will get. There are ethics in teaching that we adhere to.**
That's why I told him, if you become a teacher you must have a high level of patience. However, my friend could not last long. He had only been teaching for a few months, then decided to leave.
As a friend I couldn't do much to help him. Because I myself am only an educator, who became a teacher without a degree. The joys and sorrows that I got for approximately 2 years of teaching were also many. I had wanted to stop, but seeing their growth and development, even though stubbornness couldn't go away that quickly, but I persisted. until now.
**It is not only the main role of parents that is needed. But friends, the environment, also all parties are needed. It is hoped that there will be no more parents who misunderstand, until they report it to the authorities.**
There are so many reasons why a student or student can do this disgraceful act. One of them is through social media, which even elementary school students now have smartphones. During class, students are engrossed in their own cell phones. Not paying attention to lessons and playing alone. In fact, so many videos have gone viral because of the actions of students and students, which for them is actually not the time.
I advise, whether as a teacher, student, parent, as well as the authorities, we can all sit down together and find out what solutions we can get, so that there are no incidents of mistreatment of students towards their teachers, or vice versa.
The "Let The Earth Breath" Hashtag Movement as Digital Activism on Social Media
The trending hashtag #LetTheEarthBreath has reached over 1.7 million tweets. This relates to the protest action of NASA scientists on April 6, 2022. In the video showing Peter Kalmus and other scientists crying while voicing global climate change warnings and captured in Los Angeles. The video went viral on social media and went viral after being shared millions of times.
The hashtag movement also provides information to the public to help save the earth. Simple things to do are:
Delete E-Mail
E-Mail stacks on our gadgets can produce carbon emissions that cause global warming. For this reason, we help reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere by deleting E-Mail messages and don't forget to clean the draft garbage too.
Throwing Trash in Its Place
There are still many people who do not have the awareness to dispose of waste in its place. We can help by picking up and putting trash in the trash and reminding each other.
Save Electricity Usage
One of these bad habits should be paid more attention! Unplugging the charger cable for laptops, cellphones, rice cookers, and other electronic items can help the earth and save energy sources so they don't run out quickly. Don't forget to turn off the lights when you don't need them.
When turning on the air conditioner, close the doors and windows
Closing doors and windows when using air conditioning, not spraying perfume in the open, and reducing open burning outdoors are all things that can help reduce the degradation of the ozone layer in the atmosphere.
By protecting ozone, global warming can be minimized and the UV impact is not getting worse.
Reduce Plastic Usage
Plastic is a material that is difficult to decompose. There are so many bad effects of plastic for the earth. Therefore, we should reduce the use of single-use plastic. Always bring a tote bag for shopping, and refuse when the seller puts your groceries in plastic.
Save Water Usage
About 71% of the earth is water, but only about 3% is fresh water that we can use for our daily needs. Therefore, let us be aware not to be wasteful in the use of water. Because water is the source of our life.
Plant a Tree
Trees provide oxygen for our breathing needs, and help absorb the CO2 we produce. For this reason, we plant and care for more trees to help preserve the earth. If you have trouble taking care of it, you can donate tree seeds to nature-loving activists.
From now on we take care of the earth. If not now, then the earth will be more damaged before we even begin. If you can't fix it, at least don't break it! Let's Save The Earth!
Important Skills That Must Be Mastered in the New Normal Era
The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on various aspects of life. One of them is a change in work activities. To be able to deal with this change, of course we have to adapt to the skills that are important for us to master in this new normal era.
What are the important skills that we must master in this new normal era? Here's my explanation.
Learn new things quickly
As we know, many significant changes have occurred in this new normal era, for example, shifting from offline to online. We must adapt quickly in this face of course supported by the ability to learn new things quickly.
Elaborating work from offline to online
The existence of the pandemic and the PSBB appeal have made various companies create new policies, namely work from home or work from home. Of course, as workers we must also be able to elaborate work from offline to online, so that work can still be completed properly. Although the new challenge that must be faced is communicating or coordinating between teams through technology and not being able to meet face to face.
Mastering digital technology
The third ability is mastering digital technology. Various things that must be learned are mastery of social media, then various tools related to the use of social media and so on.
**Creativity**
Not only in the new normal era, we have to master these soft skills as best we can. How do you cultivate creativity? That is by reading books, discussions or looking for various information. With today's technological advances, you can maximize all of these ways. One of them is by joining webinars.
Innovate
The last but no less important skill is innovation. No matter what level of work you are currently at, don't be shy or hesitate to share your ideas and ideas for the betterment of the company. Innovating is one way for us to be able to survive in this new normal era.
So, those are the important skills that must be mastered in the new normal era. There is a significant shift from offline to online that makes us have to be able to adapt to this change.
About Seeking and Meeting Luck
**Find luck in life**
Sometimes we have a thought about them (friends) we seem to have a good fortune on a business they do. Yet the emergence of an opportunity that is owned by everyone.
But luck often brings a kind of consolation so that we don't get discouraged in living life.
Even though luck is attached to opportunity.
For that, start from yourself, who is obliged to seek and get that opportunity.
There are also some tips that can be done, at least it can help to find an opportunity to be lucky.
**Finding an opportunity by meeting many people**
This is an attempt not to remain silent so that luck will be on our side, regardless of the type of luck, by establishing a large network with the people around us, co-workers, friends and anyone who can indeed provide an opportunity for us, and increasingly The more we interact, of course, an opportunity will be wide open.
**Setting up a goal**
Getting luck certainly requires a calculation or at least we have prepared a plan to achieve the goal, that preparation must be based on an optimistic attitude, namely living with a useful purpose.
Leave for a moment the prestige that sometimes makes us unsure and forget for a moment what other people say about the business we are preparing, keep an optimistic attitude and never stop and be more active in pursuing a goal, of course, it will make us always surrounded by positive energy.
**Never stop being grateful and stay optimistic**
It's good for us to always be grateful for everything that we have got so far, even though sometimes there is a desire to stay away from various problems and the many obstacles in getting to the results as expected, but without strong and optimistic self-confidence, we can make dreams come true, even if gradually. Gradually luck will be with us.
Because positive thoughts that arise in ourselves can give us a kind of extra strength in dealing with all kinds of problems and with mental and optimistic feelings, at least luck will get closer to us.
Cyberwar Russia and Ukraine
**Cyberwar Analysis Russia and Ukraine in the National Interest Approach and Realism**
**PRELIMINARY**
War is a phenomenon in international relations that results in the destruction of countries in terms of physical, economic, population, military and other things. However, nowadays war is not only carried out physically, there are other methods without having to involve fully armed forces, but it has the same danger as combat, namely through the digital realm, namely through internet technology. Basically this war is invisible but its impact is very real to be felt. War that uses this technology is called cyberwar. The risks and impacts of cyberwar tend to be quite serious, because they can cause very confusing vulnerabilities, such as disconnection of the power grid, communication network, banking to other aspects that others are not aware of.
The current war conflict is the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Russia has a long-term goal after the end of the Cold War, namely to restore the status of the great power of the Soviet Union, to be considered equal by the West and to be able to influence political developments in its neighbors, such as Moldova or Kazakhstan. However, Ukraine has thrust itself into Western influence against Putin's interests. The war was not only carried out openly, but it was reported that it had an impact on other threats, which triggered a large-scale cyber war.
**CONTENT DISCUSSION**
Cyber warfare is a form of war that uses technology hackers in today's information age. This hacker attack aims to manipulate information, the existence of espionage, disinformation, and attacks on computer infrastructure. Merriam-Webster defines cyber as: “of, relating to, or involving computers or computer networks (as the internet)”. The virtual world is more than just the internet, hardware, software, and information systems, but also people doing social interactions in this network. The virtual world is a place for competing interests between interest groups, individuals, in conflicts and disputes. In the midst of armed conflict, Russia and Ukraine launched cyber attacks on each other. Basically, Russia has a historical chronological record in launching cyber attacks against the Ukrainian state, such as:
In 2014 there was a voting hack ahead of the national election
In 2015 and 2016 there were attacks on the power grid that caused blackouts that left 225,000 Ukrainians without electricity
In 2017 Russia unleashed one of its most destructive cyberattacks, via ransomware which cost US$10 billion globally.
Deputy Head of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Serhiy Demediuk (11/2/2022) stated that the number of Russian cyberattacks against Ukraine has tripled since November 2021. According to cybersecurity researchers, Russia has infected hundreds of computers belonging to the Ukrainian government, as well as in neighboring Latvia and Lithuania. This is evidenced by about 70 websites of the Ukrainian national and regional governments being targeted by cyberattacks on January 14, 2022, although no critical infrastructure was affected and no personal data was hacked. However, this is considered a threat that could endanger the integrity of the nation. A number of banking institutions and network disruptions that occurred in Kharkiv Ukraine were reported to be inaccessible, which is suspected to be related to cyber attacks carried out by Russia against Ukraine (Source: Kompas Daily).
Of this, Serhiy Demediuk stated that: “This attack was aimed at providing psychological pressure and information to people. They don't damage infrastructure or steal information or they will be hidden and no one will see their actions. They only aim to threaten Ukraine” (Source: NetBlocks twitter account)
According to the Ukrainian company Netblock, on its Twitter account, it stated that: "This incident appears to be related to the recent DDos (Distributed denial of Service) attack, DDoS is an attack designed to make a website inaccessible," internet company NetBlocks said in a statement. tweet (Source: BBC,) (4/3/2022)”.
Chief Writer of Digital Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) Mathew Ingram, in response to this, Ukraine did not want to lose and did not remain silent. The Ukrainian government formed a cyber army or IT Army by recruiting cyber soldiers by asking for volunteers to protect critical infrastructure and carry out cyber missions against Russia, which consisted of security researchers to hackers (Source: from cjr.org).
The Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Mykhaylo Fedorov announced on Twitter as follows:
Through the invitation, Mykhaylo Fedorov stated that hackers around the world have signed up to help Ukraine, even some of them are from Russia. The tweet was shared on a channel on the messaging app Telegram, which publishes a list of Russian websites. From this application, the cyber army will attack 31 large business sites belonging to Russia which will certainly cripple their economy. As a result, several websites of the Kremlin (Russian government), State Duma (Russian legislature), and the Ministry of Defense were downed by DDoS attacks, even Russian television channels were hacked which played many Ukrainian songs, and featured images of Ukrainian flags and nationalist symbols. (Quoted from Newsroom Narration). The IT Army's invitation certainly caught the attention of hackers who were furious with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, it is underlined that cyber attacks such as DDoS or tampering with other websites are illegal acts, which can endanger law enforcement and government operations.
**ANALYSIS**
Currently non-traditional threats arise more than conventional threats, for example cyberwar. Non-traditional threats have been discussed previously, but more as a theoretical and conceptual existence Cyberwar proves that non-traditional threats are more prominent today and need to be used as reflections that must be watched out for.
If analyzed, according to Hidemi Suganami, one of the contributory Causes of War, namely war occurs because there are opportunities and coincidences that direct a series of events or incidents towards war. The two countries that are hotly discussed and get the world's attention have a national interest, namely through cyber attacks aimed at computer connections to cripple the network system and economy of the opposing country. This national interest is a more complex attack that seeks to achieve complete control over an information technology system, the goal of which is to overthrow the system owned by the opposing country. Through the concept put forward by Donald E. Nucherlain, that national interest is the need felt by a country and its relationship with other countries for its external environment. It is this national interest that makes a major contribution to the foreign policy of a nation, in which Russia and Ukraine have mutual interests in this cyberwar action.
If it is associated with the concept of realism, it is simply Patriam Homini Lupus which means the state is a wolf to other countries. With the nature of the state like that, it certainly threatens and endangers other countries. Just as human nature is a selfish and individualistic creature who wants to overcome their fear by mastering each other. According to the realism paradigm, the state is the only one who has an important role in carrying out international relations here as a figure who is thirsty for strength to fulfill the national interest of his nation.
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is one of the strongest evidences that the realism paradigm is still running. The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is in accordance with the earlier classical realist thinkers, namely according to the figure of Tuchydides, who stated that each country seeks strength and position both materially and politically. This opinion of the Tuchydides is evidenced by what Russia is now preparing to do in trying to invade and dominate Ukraine.
Here there is a picture that Russia is a country with its power that threatens as a great power that wants to control over Ukraine through military and non-military forces. So that Ukraine feels as a form of threat, given the fear of an invasion of the Crimea region a few years ago, which tried to do bandwagoning with NATO (North Atlantic Threaty Organization)
**CLOSING**
As national security, the state has an important role in determining the sovereignty and national security of a country. As for the territory of the state that needs to be maintained its sovereignty, namely: land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace. Cyberspace is one of the national security that must be maintained, because of the phenomenon of attacks aimed at a country through cyber vulnerabilities and has implications for damage to the sovereignty of a country. Although the cyber war carried out by Russia and Ukraine is only targeting communication and technology networks as the main purpose of the attack. However, this certainly needs to be watched out for because it can develop into a threat that must be considered by every country in the world. It is possible that in the future cyber attacks may result in the theft of information via the internet for larger purposes such as code launches for enemy missiles and also the use of nuclear resources for personal gain, which can harm other parties, which can lead to war.
Marketing Traditional Music Digitally
The digital era like today allows every individual to market their products, including art products. Traditional music is one of those who get this convenience.
Nowadays, traditional music can be marketed digitally to digital music streaming platforms such as Spotify, Joox, Apple Music, Deezer, YouTube Music and so on.
There are several ways that musicians and songwriters can do to market their work through digital platforms, namely through aggregators. A music aggregator or distributor is a company that distributes music to various platforms that sell music works, both downloaded and streamed.
Distributors distribute masterpiece audio recordings to various outlets such as Spotify, iTunes, JOOX, Deezer, TikTok and others. After a certain period of time aggregators collect royalties and remit to the owner of the work. Some well-known aggregators include Believe Music and Tunecore.
Aggregators are one of the favorites for musicians and songwriters to publish their works on digital music platforms because there is no need to market music one by one to these digital platforms, it's just that the distribution of music costs money. This can be done free of charge but the aggregator will collect profits from each musician's work.
Tukang Tabuh is a traditional music community that has also marketed its music digitally. There have been ten singles that have been marketed on digital platforms.
Since the beginning Tukang Tabuh has used the services of a local aggregator company based in Badung, Bali called Werdimedia. This aggregator has sufficient distribution procedures, including filling out forms, uploading artworks (a type of album cover), and uploading recordings in WAV format. All of these things can be done online.
After all the requirements are submitted it usually takes one to two weeks for the work to be published. There is an administration fee of US$4 for a single that is charged to artists when using their services, and from views on these platforms will be divided by a percentage of the profits, which is 70% for musicians and 30% for aggregators.
Werdi Media is connected to an international aggregator company, Believe Music, so that musicians or artists get a backstage belive account automatically. This makes it easier for musicians or artists to directly monitor how their work is shown on digital platforms and can also see how much royalties they get.
The emergence of these aggregators makes it easier for music creators to be able to distribute their work regardless of which genre the music is from. For traditional music, marketing music digitally is very, very meaningful. They get the opportunity to reach a wider market and gain access to be appreciated by the music lovers community.
Fight Hoaxes with Digital Literacy in the Modern Era
Digital literacy as one of the right ways to ward off hoaxes
In this modern era, humans have gone through various stages in entering the information age, where every country is trying to connect all institutions into one network through telecommunication tools.
The development of globalization in the field of technology and information has now changed the traditional aspects of society, one of which can facilitate the activities of people's lives. This is evidenced by the existence of information technology that gave birth to complex computer technology, namely the internet network (International Networking).
The internet is a communication network that functions quickly and accurately to connect one electronic media to another so that it can amaze the public. From teenagers to adults, the majority use the internet as a means to help carry out various human activities efficiently, practically and accurately.
Today's modern technology can bring a variety of positive and negative impacts. The positive impact is that it can facilitate human activities in carrying out their lives, for example getting information easily, the existence of social media and so on. Not only have a positive impact, the development of information and communication technology also has a negative impact that we need to be aware of. One of the events that often occurs today is the number of fake news or hoaxes.
Hoaxes occur because the internet as an online medium makes information that has not been verified true or not spread quickly. There are also many irresponsible people in spreading hoax news on the internet. Therefore, we must be careful in sorting and selecting the news to be sought so as not to fall into hoax news.
**How to prevent hoaxes**
How to prevent hoaxes? So, the prevention of hoaxes can be done by increasing digital literacy to the community. Digital literacy is the ability to use and utilize social media effectively. The existence of this digital literacy so that people have the ability to think critically, creatively and innovatively to the problems that are happening.
Thus, the community must also learn to provide education and not to spread news that is not yet known to be true. In addition, digital literacy should be introduced to children from an early age because today many children are able to operate gadgets. If digital literacy is introduced early, then people will have the skills to use social media properly and wisely.
Character education is also one way to prevent hoaxes, namely by instilling an honest attitude towards children. Parents and teachers must also supervise their children on social media and play an active role in supporting the digital literacy movement for children.
The way to prevent hoaxes is not to be fooled by news titles that contain provocative content that can trigger perceptions. Pay attention to the news sources to search for with official and verified pages. Finally, verify the authenticity of a story from various sources.
So in conclusion, digital literacy not only provides the ability to operate, understand and utilize technology, but also can provide the ability to sort and select information so as not to fall into fake news (hoaks). Therefore, the existence of digital literacy plays an important role in warding off hoaxes that are widespread today.
Deception in the Digital Age
Currently we are witnessing, a lot of people who experience losses. People seem to be learning to understand a new world, a world that is still not widely known by the public. A new world that is very rich in information and data.
The phenomenon that occurs in society with the lure of very large investment profits, darkens the eyes and gives up money earned with hard work and sweat given easily to the connoisseurs of wealth by relying on sweet and false promises. The facts that have occurred over the past few decades about the many manipulations and lies about investments both offline and online have not deterred the public. People seem to be hypnotized by the pleasures of being rich in a very fast way and without breaking a sweat.
Getting wealth unilaterally by criminals has a huge impact on society. Losses felt by the community can be in the form of material and non-material losses. Data released by the Investment Alert Task Force or SWI stated that the total public losses due to illegal investments from 2011 to 2021 reached approximately Rp. 117.4 trillion. Of course, this is a very large amount, if these funds were used to build educational facilities and infrastructure, it would have been able to build thousands of new school buildings.
The deceit mode, especially with the ease of internet access and the disclosure of information and data, makes it easier for illegal investment actors to commit fraud. Today's application systems are very easy to build and varied, so loopholes like this are used to trick people.
Facing the digital world that continues to develop, all parties who oversee regulations must work together to prevent losses so that the losses experienced by the community do not become an iceberg that can break out at any time and cause social problems in the community.
Facing the phenomenon of crime that is increasingly prevalent in the digital era, effective education is needed to increase digital literacy and prevent cyber crime. Good cooperation between stakeholders is needed to prevent criminal activity from spreading. Each sector plays an important role and can contribute to digital problems that occur in Indonesia.
The ease of getting money with all deception targeting people who do not have knowledge in the digital field and the like must be quickly responded by stakeholders, so that the younger generation is able to think logically. There is no easy process to achieve success. The success that can be obtained quickly by showing off the wealth that is currently happening must of course be questioned, whether it is obtained in the right ways or by mere deception.
About Sexual Harassment in the Millennial Era. Should you just listen and be silent
In this millennial era, the phenomenon of sexual harassment cases is rife. This is evidenced by the increasing number of victims of sexual harassment who are starting to speak up. Sexual harassment is an unwanted sex-related act or behavior, including requests for sex and other behaviors that verbally or physically refer to sex. This can happen anywhere and anytime. However, in general, most of the victims of sexual harassment are women.
However, victims of sexual harassment are not only women, but also men. Sexual harassment does not only occur physically, such as touching or holding certain body parts, but also non-physically, such as words containing harassment, negative comments about sex, sexual whispering or pornographic jokes and many others are also included in acts of sexual harassment.
In Indonesia, sexual harassment cases often occur, especially among teenagers. Unfortunately, the victims of this sexual harassment case rarely report it to the authorities. This can happen because the victim has a sense of fear caused by threats from the perpetrators of sexual harassment.
On the other hand, the victim may not report it because they are embarrassed if after reporting the problem they are experiencing is published, which is then feared will get a negative stigma from the community. Cases of sexual harassment are often taken for granted.
In fact, if we look further, sexual harassment is very detrimental and can have a serious impact on the victim. Because this will be very imprinted and leave long lasting effects, both physically and mentally for the victim, it can even trigger suicide in the victim due to the depression (mental illness) he is experiencing.
Nowadays, sexual harassment is also experienced not only by an adult woman, but also by many minors, both boys and girls. Like some time ago, the public was shocked by an incident that happened to a boy at a well-known Kindergarten in Jakarta. The perpetrator is a man with a pedophile.
In my opinion, an incident like this is very unfortunate to happen because it has a big impact on children's psychology. Children who are victims of sexual abuse will experience several problems, such as losing the will to live, having a high sense of revenge, hating the opposite sex, trauma, and many more.
So if this is not immediately taken seriously by a psychologist, the impact will be even worse. Reflecting on the phenomenon of sexual harassment cases that have occurred today, I feel sad. Especially when there is a victim of sexual harassment who dares to report to the authorities or the victim dares to speak up about what happened.
However, this is taken for granted. Supposedly, when there are victims who report, we must support so that things like that don't happen again. Worse still, most people only think of sexual harassment as a case of rape.
Yet sexual harassment is not only in the form of rape. But it can also take the form of jokes, naughty whistles, or things related to sex and make the victim uncomfortable. Usually, minor sexual harassment such as jokes is considered normal by both men and women.
As a result of the lack of socialization about sexual harassment from the immediate environment, especially parents who actually understand more about this, it will result in the level of understanding of teenagers who are less about sexual harassment.
Understanding of sexual harassment tends to only show in the gaze or touch on a woman's body. While sexual remarks or comments are not considered harassment.
In my opinion, this situation is very unfortunate, because the sexual harassment that is most often experienced by teenagers is actually not something that is considered a form of sexual harassment by women, so I personally think that nowadays it seems as if it shows that women do not feel that they have been constructed in such a way. in modern society as it is today that the mention of body organs is something that is common, even though it includes sexual harassment.
The more technology develops, the easier it is for cases or phenomena of sexual harassment to occur, especially on social media by making inappropriate comments or using harsh words. And I think this matter must be addressed seriously and must start providing sex education to teenagers in educational institutions as well as in community empowerment institutions, so that children and adolescents have received sex education from an early age.
The issue of sexual harassment is one example of the sexual discrimination experienced by children and adolescents, especially women, because most of the victims of this sexual harassment are women. The institutions in charge should also take firm action against the perpetrators of sexual harassment so that in the future there will be no more unwanted things.
For those of you Millennials who are digitally literate, master these soft skills as a provision
Hard skill is your academic ability to understand the theory you learn in school. However, in this digital era that is practically practical and fast-paced, hard skills are not a requirement that you must have to become a successful person in the future. There are various soft skills that you also need to master while in college.
Balance the two, because these things can be provisions to facilitate your career journey later. In order to become a useful person for the nation, state, parents, and family, GPA is no longer everything. Especially if you are a millennial generation who are very digitally literate.
**Because problems can come unexpectedly and change can happen at any time, you must have problem solving skills**
The world that you will face after graduating from college is the real world, you are more realistic in looking at life especially when you have started to taste the harsh world of work that demands your professionalism. This is your challenge to always be ready to accept any changes that will occur in the world of work and always prepare solutions to existing problems.
It's not only plan B that you prepare, but even up to Z you have to be ready. For that, you have to master good problem solving skills slowly while still in college. Think of it as an impromptu quiz in class or other organizational challenges as a place to practice your problem solving skills.
**The ability to use social media can also be an additional point for a digitally literate generation like you**
It's no wonder that the millennial generation can't be separated from gadgets and is always up to date with the latest information in any case. Starting from the hottest celebrity gossip to the latest technology output. Don't underestimate the ability to use social media, which seems easy, because every day you can no longer escape it.
Social media seems to have become your second world in life. But the ability to use social media is not only scrolling down the social media timeline, but you also have to understand what interesting social media content looks like and affects the audience who sees your social media account. Well, who would have thought, it turns out that your daily habits can become important soft skills if you can do them well.
**The millennial generation is famous for working quickly and precisely, time management skills are also worth having for you**
Time management is an important element in the smooth running of work because if you can't manage it well, it's only natural that you end up running out of time to be chased by deadlines. Late in the beginning it will be too late all of them. Don't just work fast, but the quality of your work must also be right because the world of work will always have a dynamic schedule and you may be surprised by a sudden project or task from the office.
Good time management can also reduce the quantity of your multitasking demands, being able to multitask is good and even required in some circumstances. But that's not a good thing to do too often, multitasking will actually make your focus divided and make work not optimal. Therefore, if you are proficient in time management, any business can be organized to be carried out in a relaxed and professional manner without having to rush.
**Being able to work independently is important, but it would be even better if you could work together in a team**
You don't always have to complete your own work, after all, you are a social being who will interact with other people or even collaborate in a team to achieve a common goal. Where you must be required to be flexible, able to adapt to new environments and have a good team work spirit too, because you will definitely face many differences of opinion and make peace with these things so that your team remains strong. Teamwork is not only to solve problems or work quickly, but to make the corporation stronger.
**The most important thing for this generation to have is the creative and innovative side, because that is what is able to change the world through small things**
The millennial generation is a creative and innovative generation, people born in this generation want practical things but their innovation is also unquestionable. After all, there are a lot of the latest technologies that have realized the practicality they want, such as the emergence of online buying and selling startups and also online transportation that makes life easier.
Not only that, your creative side can also be realized in the form of creative content that can influence other people to be better or even entertain them. The skills you must have to support your creativity in this digital era are design, editing photos and videos, writing, and anything related to information and technology.
Nostalgia of the Old Barbershop
"Times are advancing, trends are growing, lifestyles are getting more diverse."
Maybe that's the right sentence to describe the difference between today and in the past. One of the things that is growing rapidly is the service of a barber shop which is currently better known as a barber shop. Before becoming famous with the term, people were more familiar with the term 'shaving place' only, depending on the name of the service owner.
Unlike today, the services of the old barber shop had many differences when compared to modern barber shops. Even so, anyone who has these services can be sure that in the past there will not be a lack of fans. You could say, these services were the heyday of haircuts before the barber shop arrived.
The shaving time doesn't take long
It's still a mystery to this day, why did the average haircut service in the past when it did its job so fast? In fact, sometimes it's not even 10 minutes when suddenly his brother says, "Mas, it's all right."
Not only because the time is really fast, but how can you cut your hair in such a short time and the results are still neat? This is what makes them salute.
Usually only understand 3 models of haircuts. Slick, jerk, with the most slang mohawk
In contrast to today's hairstyles already vary so it can't be mentioned one by one. In the past, people who did this haircut service usually only mastered the three most famous and easiest hairstyles to apply. You must be familiar with the short, spiky, and mohawk shaving models. Well, this last style is usually loved by teenagers because it seems free.
Sometimes there are silly things, like a razor blade that turns out to be no longer sharp enough to thin hair
Behind the dexterity in serving its loyal customers, sometimes this ancient barber shop has ridiculous problems that are actually trivial. For example, the razor doesn't work very well at thinning hair, or runs out of foam to clean the beard until it's finally replaced with bath soap. Even so, sometimes even those things that make us remember the funny memories that happened in this historical place.
The old barber shop service always had its own expertise to handle small child customers
The thing that should be appreciated from the old barber shop is their ability to handle and deal with small children customers. It turns out that if you really pay attention, it's not easy to shave a kid's hair. In addition to being fussy, sometimes they like to be impatient and eventually move a lot which makes them prone to shaving wrongly. If you remember, in the past, in front of the shaving table, toys would have been provided that could make small children calmer.
However, even though there are now many barber shops mushrooming everywhere, it seems that this old-fashioned hairdressing service business still exists and is not too difficult to find. The rates should not be equated with modern barber shops, because of course they are cheaper.
How to Free Your Youth from Debt. Understand, this is a danger for the future
Debt is a habit that has now become a "necessity of life". Everyone in this world feels incomplete without debt. Misunderstanding the dangers of debt makes this happen. In fact, debt is something that must be avoided or even abandoned. In the following I will explain some things to overcome ourselves from debt bondage.
First is Intention
Instill in yourself that debt is something that is troubling, demeaning and degrading your own dignity. You will be miserable if you have debt, therefore you must have a strong intention and determination to avoid it.
2. Feeling Enough
While trying to work, you must have a sense of qonaah or feel enough about everything you get. This is manifested in the attitude and behavior of life that is modest, not extravagant and always feels enough. As well as controlling expenses that must be smaller than income, because excessive expenses will encourage you to go into debt.
**3. Fulfill needs not wants**
Smart to distinguish wants and needs. Because debt often occurs because too often we comply with expenses that are based on desires not needs. This way you will know which ones to hold on to and which ones to fulfill immediately. It must be remembered that the need is something that must be held, on the other hand, the desire is usually not appropriate to be done or realized, and it is necessary to know that the need is certainly not small.
**4. Eat and Drink Less**
Adequate food and drink, which is not excessive can make us save more expenses. eat and drink twice a day as long as it is sufficient to meet the nutritional needs is enough. Excessive eating and drinking, especially when accompanied by snacking and consuming instant food, will harm the health of your body and your pocket.
In addition, fasting sunnah can also be a solution to save on daily shopping. by fasting can reduce the ration of food that might normally be three times to only two times. except, if you fast just to change the schedule of eating and drinking, then this will not happen.
**5. Alms**
"Give charity then you will be rich" this is often said by motivators of Islamic economics and it is true, because this has been stated in the Qur'an and hadith, and there are testimonials. Every wealth that is given in charity will not decrease, but increase, it will be repaid in abundance, if it is not repaid by Allah in this world, it will surely be repaid in the hereafter.
**6. Saving**
Get in the habit of saving even though the income we can get is limited, it's okay in the slightest. Believe that little by little it will become a hill. Many things start with little, because with savings we can cover sudden needs that befall us. For example, a disaster or calamity that befell our family, replacing lost items or maybe helping a friend who needs to be in debt.
**7. Build motivation for Hajj**
You should have this desire, at least you have the desire to become a muzakki. So because of this you have the motivation to leave debt and do your best to achieve your dreams without having to owe a penny.
**8. Give up smoking**
Cigarettes are an addiction that is not much different from debt. Looks sweet but bitter on the back, apart from making your body miserable, smoking can also damage your finances. Because later when you are addicted to it, cigarettes will become a basic need that is bigger than it should be.
Yes, at least if you can't give up smoking, you're on a smoking 'diet'. By reducing little by little the sense of dependence on cigarettes. Because actually by doing this, you save and nourish yourself, your family and those around you.
Good luck and hopefully useful, let's start living a successful life without debt.
Smart Ways to Buy Used Gadgets
Buying used gadgets can be the wisest choice for you. Think about it: why buy new things when you're only going to use the gadget for a few months? Why should you buy a new one if in a few months the price of the used product is already very cheap?
But you have to watch out. Gadgets are items that can be easily modified, altered and resold by “smart” people. So you also have to be smart before buying a used gadget.
* Know What You're Buying
Just knowing you want to buy a laptop, smartphone, or camera is not enough. You should also know what brand of laptop you're after, what camera with lens you want, or what processor you'd expect to have in your smartphone.
If any of the above sounds too technical, ask yourself this question: “Why should I use this gadget?” Is it for work, designing, typing, or just for fun?
* Price Survey
Before knowing the price of a used item, first find out what the new price is. This prevents you from being scammed later.
Out there, there are many outlets that can give you an idea of the fair price of a product. For example, you can go to gsmarena.com, bhinneka.com, tabloidpulsa.co.id, and pcplus.co.id. There are already reviews, specifications and prices for the gadgets you are after. After knowing what the new price will be, now you have the capital to jump into the used gadget market.
* Find a Reputable Seller
In order to avoid the possibility of being disappointed because of bad goods, you must find a seller who has a good reputation among gadget connoisseurs. The careful: don't immediately believe the recommended seller label. Read first the comments and testimonials of previous buyers about this seller. You also have the option to buy at a store that has a physical building such as a computer shop or a shop that specializes in selling used gadgets.
If you want to get a gadget that is still maintained, try visiting the community of gadget lovers/users. For example the photographer community. Almost certainly in every community there are buying and selling activities. The cameras sold there are still in good quality because the previous owner was an expert.
* Meet Directly With Seller
Buying and selling online is indeed more practical and easier. But if you want to get satisfaction, meet directly with the seller.
Good photos of goods are not a guarantee that the object will satisfy you later. When it arrives at your house, it can just make you disappointed. You can be deceived by defective or counterfeit goods. In fact, there are also goods that have been paid for according to the agreement but in the end were not sent.
Even if you are negotiating with a reputable online seller, insist on meeting in person. Make sure you meet during the day and in the open. You'll find it easier to check the gadget in an outdoor cafe than in a nightclub.
* Make sure it's not stolen
This is another advantage if you meet face to face with the seller. It's easier for you to judge whether the person is selling stolen goods, or is forced to let go of their favorite gadget because they really need money.
Stolen goods are usually sold at very low prices. For that, if you find a gadget that is sold cheaply, investigate the reason. If what you are selling is a cell phone, you can ask for the IMEI number of the item and check its validity here.
* Initial Negotiation
Before meeting face-to-face with the seller, first negotiate the price based on the survey you've done before. This initial negotiation can be done via telephone, SMS, or online. Say that later you want to check the gadget thoroughly. If necessary, test the ability of the gadget as well.
If the seller rejects the terms you put forward, there is a possibility that he is just trying to trick you. But if he is willing to show the shortcomings of his gadget, it means he could be honest. The more detail he showed, the better. You will have more information about how much you really deserve to pay. Fine scratches on the gadget probably won't lower the price. However, if there are scratches on the screen or lens, you can ask for a discount.
Also say that this is just a preliminary negotiation — everything is still based on what he shows on the internet. The final decision will only be made after you meet face-to-face and thoroughly examine the two items.
* Checking Used Phones
If you buy a phone, apply the following inspection steps:
Bring a variety of equipment when you want a ground coffee with the seller: a charger that is compatible with the cellphone (you can borrow it from a friend); laptops; SIM card, microSIM or nanoSIM according to the type of phone; headphones; microSD card (according to the phone)
Check the phone carefully. Was there any damage? And if so, can it still be fixed? See if there are dents and scratches on both the body and screen. Check all plug sockets — make sure they are not rusted or dirty. If the lens you buy has a camera, make sure there are no scratches on the lens.
Has the phone ever been submerged in water? You can see with the naked eye if the phone has been submerged/splashed in water. First: look at the battery charging socket. If the copper has corroded to a bluish-green color, the socket may have been exposed to liquid. Cancel the transaction if you find water marks on the battery. How to make sure: remove the battery from its place. Next to the copper battery connector is a small white square of paper. This paper will turn pink or red when exposed to water. In one corner of the inside of the phone there is also this kind of paper. Make sure it's still white. If you buy a unibody phone that doesn't have a removable battery, the watermark is usually where you insert the SIM card. Better, find out the exact position on Google.
Insert the SIM card that you brought. Make calls, send SMS, and browse. This is the most powerful way to find out if the phone is still working.
Try the sockets. Use a charger that you bring yourself, use your headphones, and try to connect the USB to the laptop. See if all the sockets are working perfectly. Also insert the memory card that you brought to see if the connector is still good.
* Ask Gadget Equipment
It would be very nice if the seller still kept the device box, manual, spare charger, and all the things he got in his first purchase. But, there are usually these accessories used as an excuse by the seller to maintain the price. So think about it, do you need all those complementary products?
* Is the product still under warranty?
If this is used as an excuse for sellers to sell their goods at high prices, that's only natural. A valid warranty is important — especially for high-mobility gadgets such as cell phones and cameras. But make sure the remaining warranty period is directly proportional to the price offered by the seller. If the product warranty is only 1 month away, isn't it worth it if he asks for a high price?
After everything is in order and you are sure of the gadget you are checking, start negotiating seriously. Mention the shortcomings of the gadget when you want to bargain the price. If the gadget is not guaranteed, or if the equipment is not perfect, that's your chance to ask for a price reduction. But remember: the negotiation remains within reasonable limits.
The Game of Childhood That If Played Now, Can Increase Intelligence!
As humans, we are actually gifted with the ability to learn from everything. Not only from school and from books as thick as encyclopedias. But also from some games, which are actually more suitable to be called children's games.
Children's games are designed to be simple, but full of knowledge. It feels fun and relaxed when playing, even though at that time your brain is working hard. Even though you're not a kid anymore, there's nothing wrong with playing some games that you don't realize can increase your intelligence. Learning doesn't know time, right?
Sharpen your brain by playing Rubik's Cube. Actually there is a formula
It looks simple, you just have to tidy up the colors on the Rubik's surface, so that on each surface only one color is the same. But don't be surprised if it takes you days to finish this game. It could be, you can't even finish it without looking at the game instructions on Google. It's hard, really. Rubik's Cube is an old game. It was first discovered by a Hungarian architect, Erno Rubik. Initially there were only 3 x 3 Rubik's, but now the Rubik's has grown bigger. There are 4 x4, 5 x 5, 7 x7, and some are hexagon to octagonal. If you have difficulty with the 3×3, you can practice with the 2×2 first.
Monopoly is a great game for money management practice.
Maybe now you see that adults who play monopoly have less work. Have a lot of money, have a hotel, have a house, to buy a bridge, but still not rich. Oh, you. Whereas with monopolo, you can learn financial management, you know. You have to know how the initial capital you have can grow, and not run out so you have to borrow it from the bank. You also have to know how to take advantage of opportunities. Even though it seems trivial and useless, monopoly can make you learn to invest. Yes, even though the investment money is only in wishful thinking.
Besides being a children's toy, Lego is also still in demand by adults. Understandably, playing makes imagination and creativity grow rapidly
Lego is a game of building blocks from plastic. From the available blocks, you can build horses, bridges, houses, museums, and roads. Just make an open heart that can't. Well, for small children, Lego has proven to be able to hone intelligence. Because children who play lego don't just play and have fun. They are creative and imagine to create something. For children, Legi also trains children's grasp of color. In adults, Lego can continue to teach creation and logic. As well as problem solving that will continue to be useful for everyday life.
Those of you who like to play puzzles must have the power of reason, creativity, memory, and a high level of patience
Besides being fun, puzzle games will also improve your problem solving skills. So with a puzzle you will be faced with pieces of the picture, which you have to arrange so that you know the picture as a whole. Similar to everyday life isn't it? Often you are also faced with pieces of the problem that you have to sort through, you understand everything, and then find a solution. So, playing puzzles can help you learn to solve problems. But if you're an adult, it's better if the puzzle you choose is also the more difficult one. Don't just have pictures of Barbie or Thomas & Friends.
Tic tac Toe is not just a circle or an x. But it's also about the right strategy to beat your opponent with logical capital, visual power and high concentration
Tic tac toe is a game involving O and X marks. You can only be one player, O or X. Each time it is your turn, you can place 1 mark. Your task is to draw a line with three adjacent marks. For example XXX or OOO. The winner is of course the one who crosses more lines. But of course this is not easy. Your opponent will do everything in his power to stop you from making a line. So, playing tic tac toe will make you learn to plan strategies. You have to think about how to escape from your opponent's pursuit, while preventing your opponent from making three side signs. God level concentration is definitely what you need.
Who likes to play crossword puzzles? Do you often feel that playing crossword puzzles is like taking an exam in class?
When you hear about crossword puzzles, maybe you will immediately think of the men who are not working enough to fill out crossword puzzle books with pictures of beautiful artists on the covers. Don't look at the cover of the book, look at the contents. Playing crosswords in real time keeps you on the road to general knowledge. If you have a question that you don't know, surely you will immediately browse on the internet to fill all the boxes, right? Just like if you study in class.

A Reminder Note, About Life in the Fast-paced Modern Age
Welcome to the modern era, where technological developments have been so great. As if it could not be suppressed or suppressed, technology now affects almost all aspects of human life.
If in the past hundreds of kilometers had to be covered in days, now we only need a matter of hours. And when in ancient times our grandparents used to take water from the river or draw from the well, we only needed to press a button and turn the faucet to fill the water reservoir.
When everything can be fast and easy, is there anything to argue about? Behind everything that we can get in this modern era, what is it that we should reflect on?
The greatness of the creators of technology need not be doubted. Thanks to them, our life becomes easier in many ways
Those who struggle with technology deserve appreciation. Various new discoveries that facilitate human life keep popping up. In fact, those who have the ability just like to be in a race. Creating new technologies and inventions for a more practical and efficient life for humans.
There are trains and planes that can be ready to take us to various places. Sophisticated cooking utensils are created in fast food restaurants that make us not have to wait long for food to order. Yup, science and technology don't seem to make room for a life that is slow and lacks innovation. Therefore, our lives will automatically follow these fast-paced developments.
We are getting easier to access information. With a tap on the phone screen, you can find the latest news too
Smartphone or smart phone is one that is attached to our daily lives. Through a variety of available applications, this small object will make it easier for us to get information and do many other things. Armed with an internet connection, we can access a variety of news both from within and outside the country. We are also facilitated because we no longer need to buy newspapers, tabloids, and magazines.
In addition to the latest information and news that can be obtained, smart phones also make it easier for us to do many other things. Paying telephone bills, electricity, buying plane tickets, shopping for clothes, buying daily necessities; everything can be done quickly and easily with a handheld device.
But let's reflect for a moment again, doesn't life in this era actually make us too busy with ourselves?
The obligations and responsibilities of work make us have to make peace with our daily routines. Wake up in the morning, take a shower, get ready and then hurry to breakfast. After that, step into the yard to warm up the vehicle or walk briskly to the side of the road to block the transport.
For approximately eight hours we spend time in the office, making reports, calculating budgets, or occasionally going to check conditions in the field. Not infrequently the piled up tasks force us to continue working at home until late at night. Only after that take a shower and go to bed with a mind that is still tired because of the many tasks that must be completed.
The next day, we will do the same routine. 24 hours a day seems to pass so quickly. Even on weekends, not infrequently we still have to race against time, again taking care of things that we haven't finished in the previous days. We forget how humans should live in balance. Leave the gadget, away from the computer screen, then enjoy the time to go on vacation or just take a walk. Enjoy time with friends, family, or even meet those who need our help.
Technology is also changing the way we communicate. Instead of being engrossed in chatting with friends, gadgets are constantly being glared at
It is undeniable that technology has also been shown to affect our social life. The matter of how we interact with the people around us may begin to change. The moment to meet with friends is getting less and less because of their busy lives. Moreover, we are facilitated by various chat applications available on our cellphones.
Even if we finally have free time to hang out with friends, it's often difficult for us to take our eyes off the cellphone in hand. Friends' activity on the timeline or emails from coworkers make things virtual more important than a friend sitting in front of your eyes.
For a moment we may not realize that enjoying warm moments with friends is what we need. As normal humans, quality interactions actually keep us sane. Sensitivity and empathy in us can also be maintained.
Without realizing it, fast-paced routines and technological sophistication also affect the way humans and God interact
Whether we realize it or not, we often overlook the things that really matter. Skipping the obligation to go to church on Sunday because suddenly there is an additional task that goes into the email box. In a hurry to do the dhuhur prayer after lunch because there was a phone call from the boss. We forget that prayer and worship are actually not just a distraction in the midst of routine work. But on the other hand, shouldn't other things be waiting for us when we are praying or worshiping?
We do live in a fast-paced era, but that doesn't mean we have to do all activities quickly or even in a hurry. We deserve to choose when we can be immersed in this modern life and when we should refrain. After all, living life more slowly in order to be able to enjoy the opportunity of life even once is not something wrong.

Bad Habits Born by Modern Technology
Modern technology is able to connect us with unlimited sources of information. Technology also brings us closer to people who are far away; Geographical boundaries are meaningless if you are connected to the internet. However, being connected to the internet also has its downsides. Technology can trap you into habits that make you look like someone who doesn't care, lazy, and doesn't even care about your safety.
You should overcome the bad habits born of this technology:
**1. Prefers to take pictures instead of enjoying the moment**
Watching the sunset from the beach is really beautiful. But if you don't enjoy it right away, your brain won't remember the beautiful golden color that painted the evening sky. Yes, with a smartphone camera you can capture the scene. But cell phones are not perfect image takers. Precisely our brain memory that can record it well.
Research shows that people who like to take pictures of a work of art are not interested in thinking about how it was made. While people are willing to watch a painting for hours, they will try to understand the hard work of the artist.
After all, shouldn't something so beautiful only be enjoyed on screen? Your smartphone may have an 8MP camera, but your eye resolution is much higher. So the next time you come across an incredibly beautiful moment and sight, look carefully and let your memory record it.
2. Can't be separated from social media when at the dinner table
Almost everyone has done or seen someone do this, busy reading Twitter, updating Path, laughing at photos on Facebook even though you are with other people at the dinner table. In fact, the presence of smartphones and other gadgets on the dining table can have a negative effect on your relationships with other people.
If you have a friend (or yourself) who likes to check their Facebook status, football match scores, or Instagram likes even though you are eating together, then you should try the game 'Stack Cellphones'. Arrange your cellphones stacked in the middle of the table — the one who takes the cellphone first has to treat his other friends.
**3. Checking Notifications When You're At Work**
Studies have found that office workers are distracted from work about 6 times an hour. Even if it's only intermittently, this kind of distraction can really affect the quality of your work. If you have a lot of work and a deadline, try logging out of all social media, chat apps, and games on your phone. Make your phone silent or turn it off if necessary. Guaranteed your work will be smoother.
**4. Sleeping with Smartphone**
Not only does it make you stay up late into the night, struggling with smartphones also damages the quality of your sleep and ultimately interferes with the quality of work the next day. Try to sleep without the presence of sophisticated equipment or the internet. Turn off your cell phone if necessary, store it in a different room. If you are afraid to wake up late, use the alarm from the alarm clock.
**5. Watch the Marathon Series**
Maybe you just realized that there is an okay TV series called Breaking Bad, and since it's no longer broadcast on TV, you intend to watch the first season until the last season via the internet. Damn, that TV series is so good and you can't stop watching it either. The next night, you just remember that you haven't watched Running Man in a long time — not to mention Game of Thrones, which is getting more and more exciting.
Be careful, you know: behind the pleasure of watching a marathon, there are health hazards that threaten you. According to research, staying up 3 hours or more every day can lead to premature death. Instead of sitting for long until you get sick, it's better to take a walk out of the house, do something or read in the park.
**6. Playing Smartphone While Walking**
Not only will the person you bump into be upset, you will also be left behind in the real world. The world revolves around you, not on your smartphone. So when you go out, keep your phone in your pocket or bag. Who knew what you saw around you could be more interesting than a cat meme on your phone?
Instead of constantly posting on social media or watching all night long, it's better to pay attention to your health, productivity and relationships with the people you care about.

Signs that you belong to the ranks of modern gentlemen
In a patriarchal world, boys always get the top position. Women, placed in a position that is always at the bottom. But now it's no longer there. Like the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau said "It's 2015..." Today, there is no longer anyone who is the greatest between boys and girls.
But you guys can still make themselves feel proud and great. Prove that you are real guys with the following things:
1. Don't claim to be a football fan if you don't support your own city club and don't follow their home & away matches!
If you like football, it's not complete if you don't come to the stadium. The stadium is like a mandatory destination for football lovers. It's also incomplete to love football, if you don't love local football. Especially the football area where you live. If you are a man, support your local club when playing outside the cage. You will feel the sensation of sitting, standing and supporting a club surrounded by home fans.
2. There is nothing wrong with having a phobia, but please don't show it off. Especially if it's just a cockroach.
Do you have friends who jump in fear when a cockroach flies? Or is that your boyfriend? Or are you alone? ish. He said that a real man, cooking and flying cockroaches was afraid. Be a real boy bravely face the flying cockroach alone.
3. Dare to speak up when someone is oppressed. For example: Don't be afraid when there is an annoying senior.
Senior and junior, are two words that will always haunt human life. In student life will not be separated from these two words. As juniors, we are forced to submit to seniors. If you're a real guy, fight your seniors who are annoying and act out of bounds. Because there is no such thing as a senior is always right.
*And the most important thing is that you don't do the same evil thing when you become a senior later.*
4. What is the meaning of a real man if he still often litters… A real man always loves and cares for his nature.
Hygiene was part of faith. Disposing of garbage in its place is an obligation. It's useless if you claim to be a traveler if you still like to leave trash in the places you visit. If you feel like a real guy who likes traveling, don't leave any trash on your travels.
**5. Prove that you are a guy who can keep his mouth (and mind) from swearing**
One of the habits of men is to issue swearing or swearing. Usually, intentionally or not, swearing and swearing are always comfortable for us to say. They even seem to become habits that are hard to break. Indeed, sometimes our intentions are only limited to releasing emotions. But have we ever realized that it is included in noise pollution. Your swearing is nothing more than trash that doesn't deserve to be thrown away. So, keep your mouth from swearing and swearing.
6. Real men always keep their promises!
Have you ever heard the saying “Promises Are Debt”? So important is a promise, that it is likened to a debt that we must pay off. So is the promise. When we promise, it means we have an obligation to pay off our promise by paying it off. Only a cemen guy can easily break a promise but always break it.
7. Respect other religions is proof that you are a real guy
Indonesia is a multi-religious country. Indonesia has 6 religions and beliefs whose number cannot be counted. So many. For this reason, respecting the existence of other religions is an obligation. It's not enough to be a boy if you can't treat adherents of other religions the same way we treat followers of the same religion as us.
8. Put Women and Children First When In Public Transportation
Have you ever taken public transportation? Buses, trains, planes, angkots, and busways are some examples of public transportation. If so, have you ever struggled to get on public transportation? To be a real man, all you have to do when faced with a situation like this is to put women and children first. Can you stand crammed with women and children?
9. If you are a genius, do not give false hope to your crush. Don't promise marriage (even though you don't want to) to your boyfriend. Stop PHP!
Often we hear the flirtation of boys when approaching girls. Sometimes, a girl who is approached is nothing more than a comforter for a broken heart. What's more annoying is when guys make girls as mere lust gratification. Therefore, if you are a gentle guy, get rid of false hopes in your life dictionary. Give certainty of love for your crush girl.
10. If you are really serious with your partner, prove it by coming directly to his parents. Then apply!
Showing the seriousness of love is not easy. But for guys, it's an obligation. When you are ready to get married and have a partner, go to his house, talk to his family, then propose to him. Show your seriousness in front of their parents. Make sure your partner's parents are sure that you are the right partner for their child.
It's not easy being a real man. There are so many obstacles and obstacles that you have to overcome. But if you've gone through this, the nickname of a real man is already engraved in your heart. Good luck.

Young Work, The Importance of Working in the Digital Age
Currently access to seek knowledge has no limits, whatever I want to know is easily found at hand. The ease of technology provides a myriad of benefits that I can learn self-taught and free or various online courses and other paid seminars.
The digital era has increased the stretching of various industries, including the creative industry, there are many platforms that come with various content that appears when I surf on social media. And now it's time for me to step up not only enjoying other people's work but creating my own! No need to hesitate because I just need to believe in myself and dare to try. The following is the importance of working in the Digital Age:
**1. Become a Space for Self-Exploration**
When I have talent, I don't want to enjoy it myself, but try to give other people a chance to see my talent and let them enjoy my work.
Whether it's good or not is a natural thing because everyone has a different point of view, what I need to remember is that good works don't just appear, but starts with the many bad works that have existed before.
Receive input that I think is appropriate and constructive for my next work. My first message is to explore in the digital era with your potential and show your best work.
2. Give a Positive Impact
There are many ways to be useful for others, starting from contributing directly by going to the field to provide energy, material or thoughts, but posting on social media is no exception.
With the writing skills that I have, I can create a work, one of which is writing that contains informative things about tips and tricks or my way of dealing with various worries that other people also experience.
3. Be Different Don't Be Afraid
Being the same is normal, daring to be different is extraordinary! the sentence is not foreign, but it is true. Worrying about being different sometimes makes me reluctant to work and come up with thoughts.
But I have to be aware, the difference is that I can be my own character because everyone has their own uniqueness and every work has its own fans. My third message is not to worry about being different as long as you and your work have good values.
4. Opening New Opportunities
I believe that good digital works or content can present various opportunities. If I pay attention, not a few are finally ogled by producers from self-composed songs published through social media, in collaboration with brands of interesting content, and I got that opportunity.
5. Make My Platform a Digital Asset
Apart from creating a space for expression and spreading positivity, I hope that the platform that I have will eventually become my digital asset, but I must be consistent in producing good works so that the audience of my work will be more loyal and I must continue to learn to create original and interesting works and not only stuck to writing.

Balancing Modernization
Nowadays, it is intelligence that is the grip of humans to adjust to life.
From traditional to modern. The sophisticated tools that exist in the world must be known to humans even to the point of using them. But one thing is for sure, we will not be able to know until we seek information first. High curiosity will encourage increased knowledge.
In order to keep adapting in this sophisticated era, humans are required to have special skills both within themselves and the skills to adapt to technology.
When you can operate a technology, it will be an added value which becomes an advantage to have competence that can be a guide in life.
The positive impact of modernization:
1. improve efficiency
2. increase effectiveness
3. encourage curiosity
4. easy to get information
From the positive impact that exists, we as humans must always adapt to changes, especially from conventional to modern.
Old Items That Have Been Swallowed By Time Can Be Seen Inside the Museum
In recent years, the development of technology is so rapid. Its impact is felt all over the world. There is 'something' missing, there is also 'something' that appears. Work that used to be done manually, for example, is now done electrically. Not only faster, but more neat and beautiful.
Previously, office work using manual typewriters, then electric typewriters, has now been replaced by computers with all the equipment and sophistication. Until now computers with various features keep popping up. Behind it manual typewriters and electric typewriters are increasingly being abandoned. It is certain that the next generation will no longer be familiar with the typewriter.
In 1970 the name Poswesel was eagerly awaited by students. Through this poswesel, overseas students depend on their fate. Poswesel is a service from the post office for sending/receiving money. Usually the shipment will reach the recipient in about 2-3 days, or even more. Depends on regular or express service. To collect the money, the recipient must show an identity card and go to the post office listed.
Now it is rare to have postal service because it has been replaced by a faster and more practical service, namely bank transfer. Even then people no longer need to go to the bank, but simply use internet banking via smart phones anytime, by anyone, and from anywhere.
Typewriters and money orders will gradually become a thing of the past. The two types of objects will not be known by the millennial generation until generation z and subsequent generations.
**Museum**
But typewriters and money orders will not disappear from circulation. Apart from being in the hands of private collectors, typewriters and money orders will of course be found in the museum. Museums are often defined as a place to store ancient objects. But actually the museum is a preservation institution. Inside the museum, various collections are maintained and exhibited, complete with information on these objects. Through museums, people can find information and see objects from the past, including typewriters and money orders.
The museum itself is defined as a permanent institution, non-profit, serving the needs of the community, and is open by collecting, maintaining, researching, communicating, and exhibiting collectibles for the needs of study (research), education (education), and pleasure (recreation).
Hundreds of years ago museums became places to store collections belonging to wealthy individuals, families, or institutions. Generally, the objects that are stored are works of art, unique or rare objects, natural objects, and archaeological objects. These objects were obtained from distant places, which were not in the collector's place of origin. Along with the development of science, collections that were previously only shown to the closest relatives, can then be witnessed by the general public.
