Technology Is Overrated!

Culture vulture, Kam Raslan is joined by guests, Sim Wie Boon and Ahmad Yazid on another episode of A Bit of Culture that’s introspective and thought provoking. Filmmaker Ahmad Yazid starts off the show by talking about the evolution of Raya songs - from reflective and introspective, with melancholic tunes, to songs that are more upbeat and happy. What’s the rationale behind this? Kam then talks about technology and how we perhaps have overemphasised its importance to our lives. In the second part of the show, Wie Boon comes up with a radical suggestion - we should shut down the internet once a week! Why is he proposing this? Tune in to find out and decide whether it’s a good suggestion.
