Reader vs Writer

Mikail Samuels,Youthlink Writer

Hey, Reader vs Writer has gone techno, but how much does writer Corey Lindner and reader Ruel Hinds really know?

YL: Dogs are acclaimed as man's best friend. Do you think technology can ever replace or compete with that?

Writer Corey Linder: (Lol) Dogs are not my best friend! It's a very ancient saying and I'm quite sure that in this day and age it's more metaphoric than anything else. But, technology isn't 'living' per se, so that would pose a problem.

Reader Ruel Hinds: Technology is advancing every day. Individuals will never truly come to like technology because once they think they have learnt and understood something, it goes quickly and changes. Moreover, technology tends to ruin most guys' relationships.

YL: Complete: From the list of _________ songs on my iPod, MP4 or MP3 or other player, my top songs to listen to are_________

Corey Linder: From the list of motivational songs, my top songs to listen to are:

1. Fireworks - R. Kelly

2. (Something Inside) So Strong - Labi Siffre

3. I Ain't Thru - Keyshia Cole, featuring Nicki Minaj

4. Roman's Revenge - Nicki Minaj, featuring Eminem

5. Strip Me - Natasha Bedingfield

I like these songs, especially in times when life becomes difficult.

Ruel Hinds: From the list of hip hop songs, my top songs to listen to are:

1. Look At Me Now - Chris Brown, featuring Busta Rhymes

2. For My Town - Drake

3. Over - Drake

4. Up All Night - Drake and Nicki Minaji

5. BMF - Rick Ross

I listen to them because they motivate me to keep pushing until I reach my goal.

YL: What's the best summer fashion tip or advice you can offer to males for 2012?

Ruel Hinds: Go for colours: Polos and fashionable T-shirts, in light, colourful fabrics look fresh and cool. White is always fashionable. You can't go wrong stocking up on plain white T-shirts, and start going to the gym from now.

Corey Linder: Summer is a time to be free and sort of out of control, so experiment with clothing and styles. Self-discovery is a never-ending process. Who knows, you might just have a change of mind about 'skinnies'.

YL: How would you respond if someone were to refer to you as a 'techno freak'?

Corey Linder: (Lol) What people say about me is really none of my business. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion and if that's what someone thinks of me, then I can't fight him to say something else. On a personal note, being a 'techno freak' isn't a bad thing; it just means being really in tune to the advancement of technology.

Ruel Hinds: Words are just words. I try to not let what other people say about me determine who I am in life. With a name like 'techno freak' now, for me, personally, I would laugh and take it as a compliment. Human beings are the most difficult individuals to please at times.
