Technology As Innovator

When we read an article, what do we look at?

Creativity and sharp words are like skin. They beautify the article.

The knowledge the author presents is like flesh. Arguments, hypotheses, conclusions, opinions etc. are what we learn from the author.

The methodology is bone. If we look past the knowledge presented, we might be able to see the method/approach with which the author employs to reach what s/he presents. What we learn from methodology can be re-used to establish our own reasoning.

We want to get the most out of an article by examining each and every layer of it.

VNExpress replicated a Reuters’ survey on “The time when people find themselves most happy” here.

On both Reuters’ and VNExpress’ surveys, men are found most happy going online.

They are actually happy online when they response to the survey more than 2.5 times than women do.

Only after a decade, Phu My Hung in District 7 of Ho Chi Minh City has transformed from a marshy outskirts area to a sharply developing center. The development process of the city requires a lot of labor to provide services (construction, sales, sanitary, maintenance) to the citizens. Not being able to afford the extremely high real estate price in the area, these people are gathering in certain less (much less) luxury vicinities somewhat away from the heart of the city.

Now, adjacent areas such as Him Lam or Trung Son are also growing with no less rapid rate. This development accidentally surrounds the mentioned living blocks of less luxury, creating so-called slums inside the developed city.

Where to plan accommodations for these labor - District 8, District 4 or Binh Chanh? If not planned right now, the slums will grow beyond an easy-to-tackle level, hurting the view of the city and even feng shui setups by many Japanese, Taiwanese, Chinese and local constructors.
