7年過後... 7 years later...

 又是一個超久後的更新，距離上次已經過了七年。

距上次更新後，開始在醫院工作，後來去了脊骨外科病房就留到了現在。

雖然中間因為疫情，病房的人力越來越吃緊，

讓我一天到晚想調加護病房，不過感覺以我的個性，

可能再七年後，我還是會在同個病房XD

這七年間，雖然經歷了疫情，導致大家都沒辦法常常見面，

不過年初去日本跟台灣，

跟勃勃和功良見面的時候感覺大家也都還很努力的活著呢XD

只是以後要四個一起見面的機會可能不多了吧，

想想還是有點難過呢。

喬弟跟我這幾年都結婚了，喬弟的女兒都快滿兩歲了，

感覺真是年紀越大時間過得越快，有點恐怖哈哈。

我跟美美結婚不知不覺也過了三年，認識了五年，

可能過不久也會有我們的小孩，人生真的挺有趣的。

想想，上次更新還是26歲，現在在打字的我已經滿34了。

最近老爸的兄弟的外孫過來留學，千禧年後出生的弟弟，

連當初我來澳洲讀語言用的電子字典都沒看過，

著實讓我嚇了一跳。

這孩子生在一懂事就有IPHONE跟這個資訊爆炸的年代，

不知道是喜還是悲呢?

想起我們四人以前搭車到中壢後站到處走的那些時光，

現在的孩子還有機會經歷嗎?

以前打網誌的時候會加上英文，想說國外的朋友也可以看懂，

雖然完全沒有國外的受眾XD

有的也只有一些奇怪的阿拉伯留言XDD

不過如今谷歌翻譯跟Chat GPT 3/4的AI翻譯那麼強，

直接丟上面就可以寫出一些文情並茂的文章，

根本也不需要我自己打中文再翻譯了吧。

雖然現在回去看看自己當初那個鱉腳的英文還是挺有趣的就是了。

感覺網誌以後會越來越少吧，在什麼都是快資訊的今天，

花三十分鐘打篇文，別人要花五分鐘看你的文，

不太符合現在人的生活方式。

所以網誌才會沒落吧，臉書IG甚至都被現在的年輕人嫌老了，

雖然還沒完全，但等網路3.0的時代全面來臨的時候，

這些佔資源，但沒流量的服務，最後也會一個一個被關掉的吧。

最近就有好幾個服務被關掉了，不知道這裡會撐多久呢?XD

看我有沒有機會再來更新吧...

以下是Chat GPT的翻譯:

(準確的讓我有點嚇到，

只需要更改小弟跟我爸的關係，其他全部是原翻)

It's another long-awaited update, and seven years have passed since the last one.

After the last update, I started working at a hospital and later moved to the orthopedic ward, where I've stayed until now.

Although the manpower in the ward has become increasingly tight due to the pandemic, I find myself constantly wanting to transfer to the intensive care unit. Given my personality, I might still be in the same ward even seven years from now, haha.

During these seven years, despite the pandemic preventing us from meeting frequently, I managed to visit Japan and Taiwan earlier this year. When I met up with Bobo and Gongliang, it felt like everyone was still living life to the fullest, haha. However, opportunities for the four of us to meet together might become scarce in the future, which makes me a little sad.

Both Joe and I got married over these years. Joe's daughter is almost two years old now. It's funny how time seems to fly faster as we grow older, a bit scary, haha. Me and Meimei have been married for three years without us realizing, and we've known each other for five years. Maybe we'll have our own children soon; life is truly fascinating. Looking back, I was 26 years old during the last update, and now as I type this, I'm already 34.

Recently, the grandson of my Dad's friend came to study abroad. He's from the generation born after the millennium, and I was surprised to see that he hadn't even seen the electronic dictionary I used when I came to Australia to study language. He was born into an era with iPhones and an explosion of information. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It makes me think of the times when the four of us used to take trains to Zhongli and walk around after getting off at the station. Will the children of today have the chance to experience that?

In the past, I used to add English to my blog posts, thinking that foreign friends could understand. Although there was virtually no international audience, haha. Some of the comments were just odd Arabic messages, haha.

However, now with Google Translate and the strong AI translation of Chat GPT 3/4, you can simply put the text in, and it can generate eloquent articles without needing me to type in Chinese and then translate. Even though going back and seeing my awkward English from the past is amusing.

I feel like blogs will become less and less common in the future. In a world where everything is fast-paced information, spending thirty minutes writing an article that others will only spend five minutes reading doesn't align with people's current lifestyles.

That's why blogs might decline, and even platforms like Facebook and Instagram are being considered old by today's younger generation. Although it hasn't happened completely yet, when the era of Web 3.0 fully arrives, these resource-consuming but low-traffic services will likely be shut down one by one. Several services have been shut down recently; I wonder how long this place will hold on, haha.

Let's see if I have the chance to update again...
