With
the race
to be
connected.

With
the need
to always
be online.

With
the onslaught
of
information.

With
the preoccupation
with
mobile devices.

With
the explosion
of
social media.

With
the never-ending
exposure
to radiation.

What
are we
achieving?

A
more informed
society,
or
a more misinformed
society?

A more connected
society,
or
a more disconnected
society?

A more aware
society,
or
a less
present in the moment
society?

A longer living
society,
or
a quicker burning out
society?

A more healthier
society
or
a more ill-prone
society?

Interconnectivity
is
the phrase
of the moment.

Innovate
or
perish,
is
the warning.

Get
up to date
or
be left behind
is
the threat.

Be connected,
or
be lost
is
the reality.

Is
that
so?

I
wonder
if
it is not.

Why
do I ask
that question?

Why
do I
juxtapose
an opposite view?

Is
being
connected
all that
it is
cracked up
to be?

Ah,
another question
to ponder,
if you choose.

Why
again
do I ask
that question?

What if
my question
is wrong?

What if
the question
has
no relevance?

What if
you ignored
the question?

Oh
so many questions,
I bet you
have switched off
already.

Ah,
switching off,
just might be
an answer.

How
can it be
so?

Only
one way
to
find out.
