Piracy
What are the advantages of buying original software?
It creates jobs.
We went to SM the other day and saw all these sale, discounts and promos plastered to every shelf that I could see. It’s the end of March and students across the nation is marching their way to employment.
We need jobs! Good jobs that pays well to have a better life, for our families, for our friends, or they will go abroad and work in other countries. We will see them once in a year.
Generates tax revenues.
Early this year, our city just overhauled all water pipes, putting new pipes with better pumps providing water to all of cities’ grid. Now, there are no more gripes about no water flowing from the faucets. They get this money from taxes for government’s projects.
Stopped working.
I remember my dad told me when he was still working in their company, his computer got infected with a virus. His work just stopped totally for two days because they were trying to fix his computer and restoring the files and applications.
Solutions by Microsoft.
I remember looking for ways to get my hands on a cheap Windows CD that I need for work. Then, I stumbled upon Microsoft’s project Dreamspark (Google it), which gives students huge discounts on software like Visual Studio and Development Tools, and sometimes at no cost! The only way for schools to get these offers is to have a database of students (at least that’s how I remembered). There is also Dreamspark to start your own businesses called BizSpark.
Climate Change
No country has really experienced the effects of climate change than the Philippines. It cost us everything: agriculture, health, water supplies and people’s lives. We’ve been hit by the strongest storm in human history, and everyone has been affected. Climate change changed us dearly.
Somebody in the comments told about climate change for the past ten years: Small tornadoes in Italy; snow in Turkey last year; rain in Dubai; no rain for 4 months in California; record summer in the U.S.; no winter in almost all Europe.
