Under Control

Welcome to the world of the Net
Schools are closed, pupils in bed
We move on for progress
We obtain a total mess
Everything under control : a mouse and a headset.

Technology is a good servant but a cruel master, Besma! As you wisely point out, controlling it is not easy, but we cannot afford to be enslaved by it. ~ Best regards & blessings. // paul

I guess it saves on paper. Myself I appreciate the tactile experience of books. This piece causes one to teeter between two worlds of thought. Thanks for your visit to my latest piece.

Yeah you are absolutely right, internet has made a significant change in every aspect of our lives, gladly in Pakistan, although it s boring but still we use paper and pen to write, my cousin who lives in America told me that in America they have an Ipad to do take notes and study, even sometime they study online, wierd but at the same time interesting as well, but it has benefits as well, it s our choice to use it for our benefit or for destruction, good luck

But I think children become antisocial and spend their lives in a virtual world. They find it hard to interact with others. Tom
