not a waste according to my estimation... so all is not lost...

Modern Technology

Modern Technology
By Fariha Shah

I sit in front of my Pentium powered, PIII Dual Processor, 128MB Ram, 10GB hard
drive…blah blah… super computer. I sit and I wonder, that's about all I do. This
creation of so-called modern technology drinks away time like a vampire relishes
fresh Blood. Yech! I swear, if we didn't have the lunch break smack in the middle of
the day, I would seriously be a blind computer peripheral by now. Actually, I'm
mighty surprised that I've escaped that dire fate so far. However, it is truly an end to
fear.

Technology can be a great damper on creative thought and clear thinking. It forcefully
facilitates us and is hell-bent on getting all our work done as fast as humanly possible,
which is really quite irritating. It's time we human beings accepted the fact that no
matter how technologically advanced our machines might become, we are still
inherently inept. And that's a fact, Jack!

Somehow this funny concoction, devised by modern advocates of increased
organizational efficiency, has slowly evolved to become the no. 1 time consumer in
almost all corporate environments. As if we didn't already have enough things to
confuse us in the workplace! Add to it the global link to your virtual business
environment, the personal corporate desktop. Mounds and mounds of data being fed
intravenously into our unsuspecting mind, without as much as an "excuse me". Man,
chivalry is truly DEAD!

Has modern technology not heard of "knocking" before entering the hallowed
domains of our over-exerted minds? Mazes of directories & files filled with long
forgotten data and yet everything MUST be saved for a rainy day. Data being more
precious than money in this new "Knowledge is power" environment.

Sigh! My diatribe against the inhumanity of the onslaught of contemporary
technology against the human race remains unabated as I wallow through four new
cutely animated PowerPoint presentations. These are supposed to automatically attune
me to the global, regional, local and "all other" policies of the Pseudo-Global/Local
Organization, and all within the time-span of the milliseconds it takes me to click
through them!

It's a bit too much to expect isn't it? Although the gurus of today's high-tech utopia
will tell you, "There is no learning, better than Graphic Learning" HA! I will stick it
out with the old school of thought that believes in the power of the printed word. A
fact amply substantiated by the mounds of printouts made by corporate executives
trying to assimilate the Gigabytes of electronic data that their minds simply cannot
process without seeing in carbonic Black & White.
