The day technology failed me

The day technology failed me.
My TV was a black brick,
Without even the sound of static.
My radio failed, so did the pod, and the CD player,
Playing silence as their only track.
Morpheus died, along with the Tigrex,
and my professional football career.

The day technology failed me,
I couldn't hear no one,
For my 3G phone became just that.
Garbage Going into Graves.

The day technology failed me,
I couldn't see a thing,
for my 'eco-friendly' light sensitive windows were not functioning,
And shut the sun out.
and my lights turned themselves off.
And my watch became but a bracelet.

The day technology failed me,
I tried to run,
But my car would not budge,
Not that it mattered,
My electronic door lock is as secure as ever anyway.
More secure, now that it can't be opened.
And Even if i opened it,
The traffic lights are all red,
all the cars were on a standstill.
there was no place to go anyway.

The day technology failed me,
I went hungry,
Frozen items went sour in my warm freezer
The microwave stopped working,
And so did my electronic stove.

The day technology failed me,
My heart, no, pacemaker, stopped.
So did my robot arm.
And my motorized wheelchair,
And my drug dispenser.

The day technology failed me,
I was lonely,
In the dark,
Isolated,
Trapped,
Hungry,
Cold,
I was-
"can someone google that for me?"


Well. was inspired in a cranky way after what happenned to me from yesterday night, when my psp, phone and ipod headphones spoilt one after another. At least the phone is ok now and the headphones are replaced. The psp, morpheus, however, is gone forever to the wind.

In one way or another, you know we're just slaves of technology, but that wouldn't be accurate. For a slave will be happy to be free of his master. Not us. Technology has not so much enslaved us as assimilated into us. They are incorporated into us physically in the form of medical equipments and psychologically, in the form of a dependence of them. And remove technology from our lives, and we just aren't us anymore. A doctor wouldn't be one without his sophisticated medical equipment, from the simplest of sphygmomanometers(i'm sure i got it right, so could someone explain that dotted red line) to the most advanced medical scanners. An engineer wouldn't be one without his cranes and excavators, his piling machines and load lifters. We do not have hunters and gatherers anymore, and we have evolved, and technology is that evolution. We couldn't say we want to 'discover' ourselves and try to shun technology completely, cos its just not gonna work. I mean, yeah, technology is part of us. And without it, we are a different self. So yeah. Chew on it.

And SOMEBODY GET ME A PSP!

[sidenote: decided to start using labels so that i could track how many of each kind of stuff i am writing. so yeah. haha.]
