Internet.

Are you aware of the changes happening in the world today?
How are we supposed to react? 30 years ago we were almost completely isolated from the world. (all we had was newspapers, tv, and letters. And the only reliable source of information was letters)future tech.jpg


Now we are immediately connected to anyone through the internet.

Is this just the beggining?

I have no idea what is coming,
but whatever it is
Is cheating us all.

Just as they made us believe:

that networks would unite us more
(when what they do is keep us away with "like" buttons to interact),

that the possibilities of making money are the same for all
(when the money reaches a point of producing itself with the interests),

that the crisis will solve the problem posed by capitalism
(when the crisis is the very mechanism of capital to rebuild),

in that same way we will get to a point and think "it's pure profit"
at the moment when the gap becomes an abyss,
and those who are really going to live life (disconnected from machines)

will have to spend it keeping the connected ones "alive".

That is, if a stratospheric chemical nuclear war does not erupt before and kill everyone once and for all.

It's worth noting
I really hope death comes quick, instead of through survival in miserable conditions

(as always happens in post-war and civil wars,
two things that do not benefit very well from the technologies)

where my instinct pushes me to live shits that I do not want for me.

You ask me why the pessimism?

Because what I can expect as a more favorable destination is a good shot in the temple
Fast, no pain, no drama.
