香港人煙稠密，許多地方人車爭路，險象橫生。有關當局有見及始，將一段非常繁忙的馬路劃為行人專用區。這當然是一項德政。然而，當局沒有十分把握這項計劃一定成功，所以，來一個’trial run’。因此，上面這個路牌就出現在這一段繁忙的馬路上。
當局要試行的是行人專用區計劃。雖然， 這是在道路上進行，絕不是’道路測試’。因為，這個詞組所指測試對象是道路，而不是行人專用區計劃。正確的中文應該是’行人專用區試驗計劃’，或者是’行人專用區計劃試行階段’，並注明從某月某日開始，到某月某日結束就更加清楚了。
This is the same situation we are in. Our God, the creator of the universe, created us in His own image so that we bear His marks. However, once created, He allows us to grow in our individual way.
The user of a generative application attempts to create some artifacts of his liking. But he is unable to mould the creation directly like a potter doing to his clay since some of the decision making power have been given up. What he can do is like a gardener doing to his plants. He can do things like giving more water or more sunshine so as to influence the plants’ growth.
The Hong Kong Government once again called on drivers in Hong Kong to “Watch out for radio news” in May 2005.
“Watch out” 的確有留意的意思。但是，它是用在用眼去留意的場合。電台廣播是要用耳朵去聽的，”Watch out”是不可以用在這一場合的。
然而，類似的標語已經不是第一次出現在香港的街上。難道有關的官員連這樣明顯的錯誤也看不出來? 難道從來沒有人向有關部門指出? 又或者是這些標語從來沒有人會看的！
‘Most art schools today teach classes in Digital Art, which to them means How to Use Adobe Photoshop. Although such courses often claim to explore the possibilities of a new medium, they generally explore little more than the possibilities that somebody else (namely, Adobe) has found convenient to package in a piece of commercial software.’
— Golian Levin
Generative Design: Beyond Photoshop
Indeed, computers are everywhere and are used to perform so many tasks. It is difficult to think of any subjects taught in colleges that are not involved with computers and software. We can generalize the quotation above to read:
Most schools today teach classes in any subjects you care to learn, which to them means How to use a piece of expensive software (name the brand and the package you want). Although such courses often claim to explore the possibilities of a new approach to the subject matter, they generally explore merely a minute portion of the possible functions that somebody else (name the vendor of your chosen software) has found convenient to package in a piece of commercial software.
It seems that computers can do everything. We ask them to do more and more for us. In fact, have we notice that computers are asking us to do more and more things in their ways. Computers are controlling us!!!
