The Internet…. and other random garbages of today

It has been some time since I have written like this. Most of my poetry has been spread out over the last few months. I have been doing some hard long thinking on the issue of technology and the part it plays in our lives today. I really think we have lost touch with reality. Wether its facebook, myspace, love ads, online contests, 2nd life or whatever I think people are starting to spend their lives staring at sand pixels that make a screen than in the tangible world. Are our heads taped to a computer screen? Is the real world to harsh or strong for us? I think we hate silence, and the fact that it makes us feel so small. We need constant stimulation, constant alerts, constant social messages, text messages, constant entertainment. Lets not forget that half the stuff people buy they buy on borrowed money. I think In some ways I’m ready to label my generation one of the laziest generations out there. We can’t think. The internet thinks for us. We don’t make wise money deciscions, we don’t work hard, we don’t stick with a job for a good long time we are lazy!! The internet too is destroying the world. People are involved in a fantasy land of make believe identities, popularity, sex lives, and are consumed with surface conversation that doesn’t mean anything. I think that the internet should be recreated. Re done. Its making us into damned idiots who cant think, swallow media crap made up by a bunch of liars, and we have become shallower and shallower.

Alas! I know this sounds like a rant… that is because it is. But a good rant on something that consumes people’s lives. Why not go camping, why not have conversations face to face. Screw texts, screw online relationships. Do things the real way. Hell this consumer world is sickening, and plus the damned public doesn’t even work hard enough or have enough patience to pay for their crap!

 

Anyways…. enough banter.  What else needs to be said? Use technology for the good. Use it limitedly.

I am a reductionist, at heart. But I believe in applying the good that can come from man in science but it must be harnessed and used wisely.

Come on you can see the small vocab of the american public. Who travels the land here anymore??
