My colleague is sitting right across the table and I ping him on Gtalk to converse..
I don’t have time to catch up with a childhood friend..
Used to plan to meet, fix up a time and honour the promise,
We didn’t have mobile phones, we could not check if the other person would come,
I would wait under the tree fully aware, my friend will come
Life is classy, fast and easier..
But it lacks the warmth, the feeling of seeing a person face to face, a friendly embrace.
Emotions are valued less, time at work and money replaces human interaction
Feels like I speak to the computer more often than I do with my near and dear ones!
Life is getting faster and time for friends shorter..
If I were to chose my life 10 years back over all the technological advancement I am exposed to now..
I would choose the former..
This is like something between poetry and prose! Very nicely put - agree with everything you say except the last bit - we can always put technology to better use! It's never the gun, it's always the intention of the one who's handling the gun :)
