Current trends

There are different eras in different countries according to their history. In our country, there were political eras, the era of the Myanmar Socialist Path, the era of building state order, the era of peace and development, the era of democracy, etc. In other countries of the world, there must also be different eras in their history.

The era that will be presented here is the era that social scientists have classified. Social scientists define eras by century, covering the entire world. According to social scientists, the 19th century is considered the Agricultural Age. In the 19th century, every country in the world based its development on agriculture. Once natural resources such as minerals are extracted, they cannot be replaced. If agriculture cultivates 100,000 acres this year or next, it can cultivate another 100,000 acres. That amount can be cultivated even more. The 19th century is considered the “Agricultural Age” because it can be continuously produced and the development of the country depends on agriculture.

As the 19th century passed and the 20th century approached, the world's population had also increased compared to the 19th century, and countries around the world had to develop automobiles, railways, steamships, and airplanes to transport their crops and natural resources to where they were needed in a timely manner. Therefore, the 20th century is considered the "Industrial Age."

As we enter the late 20th and early 21st centuries, electronic gadgets have emerged. These electronic gadgets include computers, radios, televisions, websites, mobile phones, and satellite communications. Such devices allow us to communicate with one another easily and instantly. Electronic mail (e-mail) allows us to send messages from one place to another in seconds. Therefore, social scientists have called the 21st century the “Information Age.”

There are many differences between the industrial age and the information age. In the industrial age, the highest-paid professions were doctors and engineers. However, in the information age, doctors and engineers are no longer popular. Athletes and entertainers are becoming more popular. Doctors and engineers can no longer match the income of sports stars. The annual income of doctors and engineers can no longer match the income of performers like Britney Spears and Lady Gaga from a single night of singing.

In the industrial age, older people had a lot of life and work experience, which made them valuable. Young people had little life and work experience, which made them less valuable. However, in the information age, the opposite happened. As people got older, their value decreased, while younger people gained more value.

In the industrial age, development is slow. In the information age, the pace of development is surprisingly fast. It is also frighteningly fast. Because in the information age, it is impossible to hide the matter. Similarly, personal freedom (Privacy) has also decreased. The security of being invisible and hidden has also decreased. . | You can find out what you want to know with computers and the Internet. You don't need to approach experienced people and ask questions. Computers and the Internet have been fully integrated. They have already shown you what kind of medicine to take if your health is bad. If you use it positively, it is perfect.

In general, inventions for the benefit of human life have both good and bad sides. In this information age, computers and the Internet contain things and images that are not or should not be seen in the family. Therefore, the information age is both wonderful and scary.

The currents are created by people, and people cannot stop them. We can only go with the flow. The 19th century agricultural era was simple. The 20th century industrial era was sophisticated and profitable. The 21st century information age is full of surprises and horrors. The human era is not static, it is constantly changing. In the information age, which is a mixture of good and bad, let us live according to the advice of the monk Kantaw Min in his Worldly Life: “Love goodness, strive for goodness, and establish goodness in your body.”

Dad's hat

When I was young, my father seemed embarrassed to talk about his humble profession. Many years later, when I visited the factory where he worked, I found something to be proud of.

Why didn’t my father want us to know about his job as a support for our family? | My father worked in the maintenance department of the Cleveland Electric Power Plant in the United States. The plant was located on the shores of Lake Erie, and he would come in and work there in the early morning and leave in the evening. At that time, I was a mother of two. My mother would take me and my two children for a daily walk from our family home in Ash Cabula, on the shores of Lake Erie. We lived on the shores of Lake Erie in Ohio, and from a distant shore, she would point out the chimneys of the plant. The smoke from the chimneys would drift in the wind. My father worked at this plant.

"Mom, wave your hands at your father from here," my two children said, and my two children looked at the factory from a distance where their grandfather worked and waved their hands.

I didn’t know what my father did at the factory at that time. My father was 34 years old, and he worked as a laborer in the factory and raised our family. He had an injury to his shoulder that required surgery. He also had an injury to his arm and back from work accidents. My father had heart surgery when he was 48. He retired from the workforce in 1993. That same year, my youngest brother graduated from university. Despite treatment for his heart disease, he was already in remission. A few years later, a surgeon injected a drug into his artery. He had another heart attack, and he died of heart failure at the age of 69.

I once visited my father's factory when he was working. That day, he had to work overtime, so I went to deliver food for dinner. After his overtime shift, he would take a shower to clean off the dirt and sweat that had accumulated on his body. My father used to use Bryclean hair oil, so the factory was clean and smelled clean.

The night I delivered the meal, my father had to work overtime, so when he came out of the work camp, he was covered in sweat and coal dust. I realized that because my father was a hard worker, he was like that.
