Slaves of technology

[Juho L]

Modern man is bind to technology like Hollowcell's wife is bind on a strap-on in late night play time.

This week my cell phone's battery run out and I realised that I had forgotten to pack the recharger with me. Naturally no-one else had SonyEricsson phone, so I couldn't even borrow one from anyone.

I've had cellphone with me for a decade and now I suddenly return to the days of line telephony - Or actually it's not even the days of line telephony as I don't have access to anykind of phone.

Oh boy, I fell like I'm totally helpless. I loose a cell phone and it's a disaster. Now how the hell this can be possible? I've lived without cellphone for 13 years and coped well. The whole world coped well without cellphones!

This got me thinking. What happens when computerised homes become a standard? An electricity blackout and everyone go crazy! You can't even enter or exit your home when the CPU is down. Want to enter another room? The door needs to be opened manually! Fancy a cup of automatically brewed coffee? NO CAN DO! We are all going to die! Well, at least that's what people will think then.

The modern man is soon completely slaved by techology. Instead of AI taking over the control like in sci-fi, the man makes itself the slave voluntarily. Stupid man!

I wonder does anyone had tried to call me. A SMS maybe?
