It is true that youths in Asia are now attached to electric devices and are reliable to it. They are what got them day after day, and I doubt they will know what to do when they're just alone with themselves with no friends and no devices. When I grow up, I wouldn't let my children use the computer or give them access to technology when they are at least 7. I want them to learn how to connect with people, listen to people and communicate with others. I don't want them to go online everyday and be reliable on technology to get through their days. I know indeed that life is still awesome without technology. Moreover, I will encourage them to go out and explore the nature, to be tree huggers and animal lovers. I want them to learn how to deal with themselves when they're alone and how to live in the reality, deal with challenges, and resolve obstacles instead of escaping online and live in the fantasy world.

Before I read this chapter, I didn't know what symphony has anything to do with a whole new mind. However, after reading the symphony chapter in the book, I've learned that seeing and recognizing relationships between one thing and another is symphony and that it is a significant part of our lives. I think I still have some problems connecting things together. Like for some things, I can relate them to each other very easily. But for others, I see them as separate subjects and have troubles linking them together. Now, after reading this chapter, I will force and push myself to join thing that I see are unrelated. In the middle part of this chapter, invention is mentioned. It shows that invention is not something hard and impossible to do, it is just creating a new idea by combining two existed ones. I think this is a bit challenging for me too because of how I was raised. Like most Asian family, I was taught since I was young that study is extremely important and that it is a promising way to get to success. Therefore, unlike Western children, we were stopped most of the time when we have crazy thoughts. People around us weren't encouraging. I think this is the reason why I feel that I'm trapped in a box and I'm struggling to get out of it. Overall, I really like how the author shares ideas that he had learned in the class that he took and how he uses it to show us that relation between things are incredibly essential.
