I can’t believe that our name for our team in Intrams would be "Torrents"… I’d rather choose Technocrats than Torrents. Why? Because Technocrats are individuals with technical training and
occupations who perceive important societal problems as technological
in nature, while proposing technology-focused solutions to its
problems. Technocrats pertain to people while Torrent is a software. Torrents with an "s" would be pertaining to what? A bunch of Torrent softwares? Or maybe Torrents signifies Torrent files. Do you consider yourselves a Torrent software or a Torrent file? I can’t quite get the idea why Torrent sounds cool or what… For me, it’s sounds really lame and piracy promoting. And another thing, not all people know what Torrent is. For the sake of those who don’t know what Torrent is, it is a computer program for uploading and downloading files. Technocrats may not be also known but it’s quite clear that it is related to Computer Science. And as what Dr. Robert Roxas, Division Chairman of Computer Science Department of UP-Cebu, Torrent was made by Technocrats and the word Technocrats can be a long-lasting word and I bet there would be another software that would outwit Torrent and will gradually face-out the software.
I do use Torrent but I don’t want it to be the name of the our department… No offense to the people who voted for Torrents but Torrents just sounds very inappropriate for a department name. I hope that this name would be change next year…
