hanya sekedar mau mengingatkan,banyak hal hal hebat yang berawal dari mimpi,duluuuu sekali berbicara dengan orang yang berada di benua lain juga sekedar "mimpi" apalagi bisa melihat wajah si lawan bicara secara langsung,tapi kenyataanya sekarang ratusan manusia bisa menggunakan fasilitas bernama video call yang duluuuuu sekali pasti dianggap "mimpi"
so...jangan pernah meremehkan "mimpi" bila itu bertujuan baik,mungkin juga suatu saat "robot deckhand" yang di maksud bisa menggantikan crew dalam melakukan pekerjaan yang berbahaya,mengecat lambung luar kapal saat kapal jalan misalnya,atau memadamkan kebakaran,atau mengatasi bila ada cairan kimia yang tumpah dalam cargo hold,jadi...alangkah bijak bila kita lihat dan tunggu saja "mimpi" tersebut menjadi kenyataan,untuk kebaikan bersama,salam --- In [email protected], dhanaone@... wrote: > > Heeehehehehehe....
