You know that electronic fetish that puppets our mind to slink over for the next iPhone? It’s slowly migrating down the tube of the Enterprise feeding off mac-airs and lava-lamps. What’s next? Space technologies that allows for battles on the third moon of orion (I think that exists)? Fighting off an army of robots by finding the chosen one? Developing games that control actual humans – like that one movie? Where shall the candy-coated coal-path of electronics take us? Technology, at only an unfledged stage, could shroud all truth from our minds when it’s wings spread.
It almost scares me to think of the negative implementations of our addiction. Maybe today iPhones are deemed valuable enough to be on every kid’s Christmas list (definitely on mine), but what about the good ol’ G.I.Joes and the badass Ken dolls? As $5 digital cameras become $4.99, Barbies and Cabbage Patch dolls are sitting on some shelf serving as the 3rd leg for spider-webs of mockery. Tangible toys are tossed aside making room for the ever fashionable wireless internet and windows 7.
Technology is to the average 21st-century man as scales are to a reptile; it wraps around us, unforgivingly, as if it were a part of us. You can try to shed it, but it will just regrow, regrow, regrow. Yeah! Who cares about pollution and global warming when there’s going to be some awesome 4-legged tripod that’ll clean all our tar filled lakes for us and sleek our hair back in the morning.
I write this in frustration of my mouse which won’t click.

Joke: What did the Egyptian man say to the Egyptian woman?
-Come behind the pyramid, and I'll make you a
mummy!"
