Google Translate

Actually my intention is not to write about this "google translate" thing but its more about our attitude. Some of us specifically. I'm working with many veteren people, age 50+. I understand their limited knowledge of technology especially computer & internet and I'm happily assist them if they need my help.

One of the thing that they frequently ask or need help is translating English word of sentence to Malay. (Government use Bahasa Melayu in any official matter) Few of us (younger people) in the office and I'm the one who always become a hero.

But what make me not happy or sometimes furious is, the attitude of this younger people. Always say "I don't know. Ask him."

Well it's not that I'm good in English but they make me look a lot clever. Come on! at least give effort la. You open facebook, you play farmville, cafe world, download etc.. but when people ask word meaning, you effortlessly say don't know. WTF! For God sake there are google, google translate, world is on your finger
