Life and Living

Television screen, computer screen,
 cell phone screen too: all are capable 
of hypnotizing you. Bells and whistles
going on in your head; your mind is
 active, but your body is dead.

What is all this technology going to do
for you? Will it enhance your reality or 
take it away from you? Will you know
tomorrow what you don't know today? 

The plan seems to be to replace the human 
being, anyway. This will be a place where 
technology does almost everything human-
-with robot's names.

Then, when most human beings are no 
longer necessary, welcome to the human 
race's mass cemetery. 

A play-land for the rich and a hell-hole 
for poor, who may not be necessary or 
needed anymore. Today, it sounds like
 a fairy-tale; tomorrow, it could be a
 live and living technological hell.
Well, well, well.
