This is an extension of the last post; Is Tech Making Us Stupid?
“Make no mistake, boy, it
will be end of the world as you know it.” Sonya cut in. “The Grid is not
imaginary. Its effect could already be seen everywhere! The first ill-effect of
The Grid we feared was the bondage of human Conscience. During
last decade, inventions have been replaced by innovations, people became much
more well connected but without physical connectivity! Virtual Social
networking is gaining on contact through senses! Humans are growing
apart while they feel that they are getting better connected with billions like
them! This is what The Grid is doing! Many path-breaking researches were
either goofed up or were discontinued due to improper attention. Even
space-programs suffered reversals, economy taking the blame!” Sonya hardly took
two breaths in between, not that she actually required it! “This is what The
Grid is doing to us.”
Peat was taken aback by this
outburst.
“OK, mom! You made your
point! Now calm down!”
