The Panday and the Computer
In an attempt to prove that I am not intellectually challenged let’s deal with a topic with some political intrigue.
So today instead of Boyce Voice we will be “Boyce Underground”, that’s a totally original name I just came up with.
Have you been hearing about the scenario where the opposition leader Basdeo Panday was banned from the Trinidad sitting of parliament for using a laptop computer while parliament was in session.
I have never heard such igrunce yet; imagine banning a minister from official business for looking using a computer.
As a man who is addicted to using technology myself that is bare c***!
You know how much time I spend at meetings looking in black berries, palms and computers engaged in activity related to the same meeting.
The speaker of that house needs to be informed we now live in a technologically advanced world
where instead of writing things on paper people now use computers; panday could easily have been preparing his speech for later presentation.
What you are reading now was written using my black berry, I hardly ever write and the few times I have people tell me my handwriting is atrocious. So I have learnt to use the technology so people understand what I am trying to say.
Enough about you Peter, back to Panday, now they are saying in order for him to enter parliament and participate in the up coming national budget debate, he must apologisé for using the computer, that’s another bunch of c***.
Panday is being forced to apologisé for being technologically advanced. I know Panday is not no sweet bread, but in this case we should see his position.
You would think in a country like Trinidad where the crime rate is so high that members of parliament would have much more to occupy their time than stopping an old guy from using a computer.
*Crap
If during the reading of this blog there is any thing I might have written which might have incensed or offended you, GET OVER IT! There are many things I read and hear in the media on a daily basis that I don't like either. SO DEAL WITH IT! You are welcome to leave your comments though. Make sure and come back yuh hear !!!...

That’s just ridiculous. I work for a local government and the councillors were all recently equipped with laptops so they can take them to the meetings in order to reduce the amount of paper they use and also save time typing their notes up. Makes environmental sense to me.
