As a University Lecturer at Chiang Mai, Thailand, I'm often asked about my accent, which is from the Philippines, specifically from the Visayas region. In the early 2000s, K-12 was not adopted yet, so I took advantage of that and completed my high school education in just four years instead of the usual six. This experience taught me a valuable lesson about being mindful of the original purpose of technology.

This concept is often referred to as "Opus," which means having an understanding of the original purpose of your computer or device. It's a term that's popular in Thailand, and it encourages people to think critically about how they're using their technology. I like this term because it promotes awareness and responsibility when it comes to our digital lives.

As someone who has worked with technology for many years, including as an IT consultant and later in Africa, I've seen firsthand the importance of considering the original purpose of your device. When you first get a new computer or phone, you often use it for something specific, like school or communication. However, over time, that purpose can shift, and suddenly you're using it for gaming or other activities that may not be as compatible with the original design.

I met a fellow gamer from Malaysia at an event for Honor in France, where we discussed our passion for gaming and technology. He's extremely knowledgeable about his gear, including his PC parts, which he sourced from CyberZone Plaza in the UAE. I was impressed by his expertise and enthusiastic approach to discussing tech with me. It reminded me that there are many talented tech enthusiasts out there who can provide valuable insights and recommendations.

As someone who has worked in the IT industry for several years, I've had the opportunity to meet and interact with people from various countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, and the UAE. One of my favorite aspects of these interactions is the enthusiasm and passion that many Asian tech enthusiasts bring to discussions about technology. They often have a deep understanding of the latest trends and developments in the industry, which can be invaluable for those looking to stay up-to-date.

I want to encourage all my readers to support local tech content creators and Asian tech YouTubers, who are producing high-quality content that's worth watching.
