Thinkers

Saturday's edition of Straits Times has a number of analysis and commentaries by columnists. The standard of journalism in ST is very high. As I read the opinions and analysis, I sometimes feel issues are not so easy to deal with. A lot of the views seem academic. Yet without the well-thought out reasonings, back by well-researched facts, our world cannot progress. We are making huge progress due to our ability to think and conceptualise the outcomes if certain set of actions are taken. The best example is technology. Internet, computers and cellular phones has change our life immensely. We are connected with our friends, colleagues and strangers around the world instanteously. Without theories quantum physics and mathematical models, it will be impossible to build a computer. Hence, let's give a toast to thinkers of the world. Where would we be without you?!!
