Technology is moving so rapidly in quantum leaps...
I cannot even catch my breath following it
We get blindfolded when so entangled with the trivial
Do we ever stop for a bit and wonder, what kind of illusion we are living in...?
A new hybrid species is evolving among us...
Smoothly numbing us...

Are we ready? Scary but true
Siri ends up being my best friend.
