Technology is moving so rapidly in quantum leaps...
I cannot even catch my breath following it
We get blindfolded when so entangled with the trivial
Do we ever stop for a bit and wonder, what kind of illusion we are living in...?
A new hybrid species is evolving among us...
Smoothly numbing us...
Making us dependable
Less and less indispensable
A.I. is catching up with us
Are we ready? Scary but true
Siri ends up being my best friend.
