a real smart-ache '

With the current ai rush..Smart metres smart phones.' and much other such, 
I reciprocate, in major distain at the loss
Of independant cognition
To me it can be  the very nadir 
And creativity crush? Depends
On your direction? Or your take
At this time of writing for me its
All one big ( smart-ache !)

Early on, with the invention of the television I sensed opportunity for the Devil to preoccupy, control people. Now I see the same with computers, Smart Phones. I was at a doctors office yesterday -- not one spoke to his neighbor, everyone burying his or her face in a Smart Phone (all 15 people) (what were once people anyway, now preprogrammed, manipulated puppets) -- minds avoiding close contact communication. Satisfied with a form of virtual reality, a technical hand-job.
