Last night’s slumber was cut short by the sound of the crackers,
I was having a lengthy conversation ,
With my partner of four decades in my dreams ,
As always he talking to me with his glance
Fixed on his phone in hand-
Recollecting it verbatim I was struck by something ,
Oh my God what do I see?
Subtitles of our conversations in Tamil?
Looking at those scrolls in English I knew for sure
Now I am a global citizen! .
A rather satirical take on technology. With technology, the world has indeed become a “global village “ but there are also many disadvantages. Privacy is being lost and conversations being monitored. A reality faced by almost everyone.
Not a satirical take- sorry- a positive feeling on being a global citizen. Technology is the new norm- well said
Welcome to this era.
Dear Brindha thank you so much for your wonderful perception. Both your comments are true indeed. With all its imperfections we have to accept the new technology because we humans are evolving to our next stage!
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is underway . Metaverse is the new Universe , our Digital Avatars act and speak on our behalf , Alexa is our alter ego , driverless cars will soon take us to our destinations . Welcome to a parallel universe !
Thanks a lot Amita Paul. Loved your comment
A well-crafted poem on the impact of technology on our lives,for better or worse!
