Intempestivus!

Right, so, I'm on the bed, surrounded by a bunch of physics papers, calculator in hand-
Figuring out how I answered without looking at the handouts.
Well, we all know how boring that is, and my mind ended up wandering and I looked at my desk and saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince standing there next to a bunch of other books.

Then I looked down at my Physics stuff and back at the book, and the wheels in my head went in one direction: Science and Technology vs Witchcraft and Wizardry.

BOOM

Who hasn't heard of that one before?
I'll be damned if there's someone out there who hasn't.
=I'm kidding, I don't want to be damned.=

Anyways, with that thought in mind, I started to layout the differences, and I realized something.
In the wonderful fictional world of Harry Potter, we have all these awesome spells that do things for us. And in that same world, the witches and wizards had no idea on how to live without their magic.

Nya~

And so, I compared.
Here, in this terrible reality called life, we too, have things we cannot seem to live without, and all are mostly things called technology.

Now, if you find the similarities, you'll find that both magic and technology do things for us.

Don't get me wrong, shouting Expelliarmus! to tear a wand outta some other guy's hand is pretty cool, imagine the win if we could do that to guns, but it always ends with the hero tackling the guy. So in the end, it's kind of pointless.

What I'm trying to say is: Both magic and technology seem to enable people better access to whatever they want.

Flying cars to airplanes.
House elves to normal help.
Magical wands to remote controls!

Magic was most probably 'banned' by God b/c it made the people lazy, promoting the sin of Sloth.
But then, doesn't this raise the question: Should technology be considered a sin too?

Yeah. Maybe.
People use cars, buses, and bicycles instead of walking. Resorted to phone calls and texts instead of letters. Instant noodle soup to genuine ramen!

Maybe... Maybe it IS a sin!


But try and take this laptop away from me.
I DARE YOU.

=No, I do not want to debate about this.=
