TECHNOLOGY AND ITS EFFECTS
Technology or "tech" as millenials refer to it is interchangeably a curse and a blessing
One that is misused doubt countlessly.
One that has diverted a human's concentration senselessly
One that has sadly transformed patience to irritation
The word "internet or the net" used to be overwhelming.
Tech was meant to make interactions easier, not to destroy.
To acquire knowledge, not to down one's intelligence.
Nowadays, it is abused and misused.
Applications and Software are either developed with wrong intentions
In which case they are used by the wrong people.
Children end up engaging in absurd activities.
Tolerance would come by chance .
The minds of the young end up being estranged from what is "right",
A bad thing is seen as a good thing.
Dare I say we, humans, were pushed by tech into insanity ?
Humans are becoming lazy,
Instead of devouring countless knowledge.
Masticating fruitless knowledge makes sense to most.
Resistance would be futile .
Resistance, too, might be crucial.
The net has manipulated its
But are we to blame for this despair ?
