Love Of Technology

         There she was sitting in a work frenzy with two computer screens in front of her; she connected a flash drive to a CPU and started copying the contents onto the monitor screen, switching on the other system she connected a card reader to the other CPU wondering whether to plug in the mobile memory card or the camera storage card into it first! Deciding on the camera card she connected it and started rifling through the photos on the LCD screen. Putting the photos on a copy\paste she switched on the music system and started going through the CD rack for a good CD.
         *Check the new message* ..... This tone distracted her and while picking up the cell phone to check the message she noticed that it was running on a low battery, taking out a charger from a drawer of the working table, she put the phone on charging on the same power board with all other appliances.
        A sound from the computer told her the flash drive had finished it's work, seeing this she connected a wi-tribe to that computer and started the internet. While opening her blog she picked up her e-book from the table and opened the article she had intended to post...
       A knock on the door and her brother walked in asking her to help him out with a maths problem. She fished out a scientific calculator from another drawer and started solving the problem. In between doing this she also changed the card in the card reader and started loading some songs in the new memory card...
       Replying to another text message she re-opened the e-book, switching her attention back to the monitor screen she searched her brains for a suitable title for the article...
       And at that moment of thought she zoomed out!...her brain started to slow down, detaching itself from the body it possessed  and viewed the scene from a third person's perspective!
       What she observed shocked her!... She was sitting at a table with two screens and digital keyboards, a musik system on one side, a television screen on the back wall, an e-book, a cell phone, flash drives, different memory cards and a calculator lying around her. In short she sat there surrounded by machines.
        She realized that a minute ago she had been working with all these things... no! she had been a part of all these things, a machine operating all these machines! She was there with no thoughts, no feelings, nothing at all except a brain working as the operating unit of all this stuff!
        In that moment she realized why this world was moving towards cruelty with each passing day. It was modernization, increasing technology or better said increasing number of humans turning into machines. Feelings were dying. Kindness, love and humanity seemed like withering yellow leaves of a dying autumn tree!
       That moment told her why her life was bleak ans stark, devoid of emotions, warmth and love...!
       You know why she had this kind of life??  That's because she was a machine like all of us....'us'__ the people of te modern world, who are forgetting that the best things in life are not 'things'!
