World in our lap
Technology
has become so much of a part of our lives that we have the world in our ‘laps’,
literally! It is astounding how significant a part of our lives, laptops have become.
Many of us should start counting
the Laptop as our conscience keeper. No one else knows a person as much as his/her laptop does.
Our deepest secrets are stored in its folders of anonymity, hidden from the world.
Many a time, our day begins at the
start button on the task bar. It plans our day with post its. It stores our
past in pixels. It helps us keep in touch.
It sings to us when we are stressed.
It hosts movies when we are bored. It plays games to remind us about the child
within.
It is omnipresent when we are among
friends and among family. It is there when we are travelling and when we have
settled down. It gives words to our thoughts. It mirrors our aspirations in its
background.
It is where we book our tickets –
be it to go around or to sit through two hours of entertainment.
We come home from a long day and who do we look at for hours on end? Who else gets as much undivided
attention?
It is by our side when we go to
sleep and when we wake up. It is in this 14 X 14” portmanteau of memory that many of ours’ worlds reside.
It is not just on top of our laps; it is indeed on top of our world itself!

ReplyDeleteIt reminds of the famous scientist Albert Einstein quotes "It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity." We forgot that it is still a gadget, which cannot bring emotions as like human :-)
