Lorem Ipsum

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Perspective From Down Under

by Eddie Dy, Batch '66

In this Digital Age, we lost so many things in the last 50 years. Almost all the things we used a generation or so ago are now museum items. In our student days, being in the college of Architecture or Engineering, one of the items we carried to the university which was very visible to everyone was the slide rule. I am sure the younger ones don’t know what I am talking about. How about the simple fountain pen? It used to be the most popular or common presents from the parents for their graduating elementary students before they step into high school. Again, that is one item that is gone.

The list goes on and on. Typewriters are no longer produced. Have you heard about “onion skin” paper or “carbon” paper? Can you buy typewriter ribbons? What about the old vinyl musical records or the cassette tapes? What is a Walkman? What we hear today are the products of called i-things. And I don’t know how to operate most of them. I must be a man from the ancient time.

Even the not so old VHS video players have vanished. About ten years ago, almost every other corner was a video rental shop. They quickly converted into DVDs. And now they are all gone. Time now for those downloads and hard drives. And Hollywood is complaining about piracy and musical stars are coming to town in short intervals for live concerts to make money as their CDs are not selling anymore.

The landline phone networks are shrinking while the cell phone networks are expanding exponentially. Remember we used to say “dial” this number? Not anymore as all phones are now push button ones. Remember the telegram and the Morse code? The young people today have no idea at all how we sent messages in those days and the agony or ecstasy of receiving one.
