    The timeless beauty of decency

    Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 20/11/2015

    » I was scrolling through my Facebook and Instagram feeds during a layover between flights recently. Perhaps it was jet lag or exhaustion but as I was flipping through my phone, I became a bit bothered by the amount of young girls showing cleavages, midriffs, and wearing bottoms that were too small, or too short and sometimes even both. From young ladies posting sexy selfies, to Miley Cyrus' extreme Video Music Awards outfits, the media seems to be flooded with overexposure.

    Avoiding communication breakdown

    Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 15/07/2015

    » My mum turned 90 this year. I was fortunate to celebrate the occasion with my family in the United States. At the birthday party, my mother was showered with gifts, food, cakes, hugs, and love from her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I think that my mum was very happy to see everyone in one place.

    Guiding the tech kids, analogously

    Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 30/07/2014

    » In late June, Alysia Montano, an Olympic-class runner, ran the US Outdoor Track and Field Championships 800m race while 34 weeks pregnant. The news went viral, stirring up all sorts of opinions and outcries on the internet. Montano, who consulted her doctor and received the OK to run, was praised by many (including other pregnant women) for inspiring them to get in shape and condemned by others for being reckless with her unborn child.

    Unsocial network

    Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 25/06/2014

    » As a regular Facebook, Line and Instagram user, I find it hard to believe that there is an antisocial media app. I recently heard about Cloak (though I think that it’s been around for a while). Cloak is an app that helps you avoid people that you don’t want to meet. It sounded strange at first. But after some thought, I can definitely see its usefulness. If I were a student trying to ditch a day of school, I would not want to run into people who would recognise me and tell my parents. If I owed a friend some money and couldn’t pay it back yet, running into that friend would not be very pleasant.

Communication towers and antennas are sprouting like weeds, expanding internet access to more and more rural areas.

    Becoming a grandma in the computer age

    Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 12/03/2014

    » I think that most women have a love-hate relationship with the “G” word. When I first learned that I was about to become a “grandmother”, I admit that I had mixed feelings. Initially, I was very excited when my daughter told me that she was pregnant; I was happy that she would get to experience the joy of motherhood and I was anxious to spoil my grandchild rotten.

    Sugar-coated fun - but at what cost?

    Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 04/10/2013

    » I vaguely remember video games when my children were growing up. There was a console connected to the television and something handheld called a Game Boy. My kids would pull twisted faces when they played video games. "Your faces will get stuck that way," I used to tease them. For me, video games, like comic books and cartoons, were something that kept my children occupied on rainy Sundays. I did my best as a parent to limit their exposure to violence and rationed their video-game-playing time. But personally, I never took an interest.

    Walking a fine line

    Life, Prapai Kraisornkovit, Published on 30/08/2013

    » When I first heard the news that the Thai police had plans to monitor Line, I immediately scrolled through my Line logs and searched for texts about my sad golf scores and a disastrous picture of me in a not-so flattering dress that I wore a month ago.
