Portable Direct Printing Device

image

Fr. Denny showed off a wonderful portable direct printing device to the guys in the office. Apparently, it’s called a ‘typewriter’, and it’s very clever indeed. Highlight features: 1) Direct printing – puts to paper immediately as you type! 2) Real tactile feedback – none of that simulated haptic vibration! 3) Durable – doubles as a club and bulletproof shield! And best of all: 4) Doesn’t require electricity to operate! Our young staff were rightly amazed at this wonder that they had never seen before.

How did the Ateneo education prepare you for your work?

– Apart from the knowledge (IT) that ADDU has provided me with, education in my work ethics, personality and passion are what I consider the most useful things that the Ateneo Education has given me.

What advice you’d give to our students today?

– An advice I could give is this, While in school, take your time to learn, however, always understand that it is always impractical to learn everything. Determine what you’re good at and what you love and hone those skills by learning these in school, or even outside. In life, it is easy to get started on something, but always difficult to finish them, without passion. Without passion, a strong follow-through is always difficult. Likewise, experience what you can, both good and bad, as ignorance can make life a bit difficult.

Thanks a lot, Shane.
