Soul mate???

Whom do you see the most in your life?

Who makes you smile, laugh, cry, sad? can also give you pain....
The first one you see when you reach your workplace. Without whom you are uncomfortable?

Of course its my monitor(with the CPU)... So its monday and again i start my relationship with my monitor... We all come to the workplace, dont speak to anyone much and give first priority to the monitor than your closest frnd in teh office.. As if we all are married to the monitor.. Staring at it at close quarters always and time and again... smiling at it, may be someone else is creatign that effect but its the monitor which brings that smile, tear, skip of a heart beat or any other feelign in you!! Am i right?

Maybe it is monday thats makign me give those senile words. Anyway, I feel a strange emotional relationship with the monitor itself.. The fact is we have all become so ignorant of the art of writing and reading to and from a book and have become so used and fond of the monitor(in actual layman lang... now dont argue that its the CPU / memory processor/ motherboard...etc ) that we read even books in 'it', write through 'it', lend our readings to people thru 'it' (forwarding) and even helping people in crisis at times.. Simply every damn thing is done by the computer... which has sortof paralysed our sense and capability of reading, writing most (importantly letters ), going out on windy cold evenings with your family and enjoyign the weather rather than tryign to flirt with some unknown object/human/ evil in the internet, improving yoru handwriting rather than making it so used to typing that you type faster than your thoughts and on paper your words look like earthworms and runnign to your friend in need rather than forwarding the mails to n number of people requestign for help. We are all becoming more of handicapped machines... more than humans. No im not the kind of person who will criticize any new thing happening to the evolution and not going to keep grumbling about it... I believe the fact that reading books and writing letters not only improves our vocab but also gives us a human touch .. You feel more towards the person or event when you write it.

Anyway given that we draw our salaries with the Computer's blessings, we cannot ignore it completely. But we do have a life to live, give answers to give to the nature, our family, our selves. And we should not just become like americans who have more and more cases of violent childhoods than authors and painters. Well without ignoring the technological revolution, we can be humans... and try to have a difference betweeen future robots and the clan of Human Beings...
