Personalization

Every now and then, different ideas and desires are presented; from what we want to how we want it to be. Creation always first started off with a question or perhaps a request and need, where the following generations will then proceed with the alternation; to improve, to customize and to personalize further. With us the individuals having different perspectives and ideas of beauty, the world is colourful, whereby it also means more arguments, requests and desires, as there is no item or even a lively being can satisfy the requirements and needs of all; not even the personalized properties. An object is customized according to the preference of customers, but how customize it can be? During the working days to produce labels, one of the most frequent questions being asked was, “Can I have only this picture and not the rest?” and the answer is no. Not truly customize after all, is it? There are the restriction in personalizing our properties and lifestyle; however, when we are given the full authority to proceed with the so called personalization, we would somehow feel reluctant to do so, for it is more complicated than we think it is and that our attitude towards troublesome is personalized or perhaps, globalised.
