The whims of technology

It’s a task. A norm. An unsaid acceptance. Social etiquette.

This need to always be connected, available, "reachable"...To always be "online", "in network", to never just be.

It saddens me. we have become so inter-dependant, inter-connected, involved, that we are never really just being; we are always either being an employee, a friend, a daughter, a sister, a partner - what you may, but rarely for a not even a few minutes a day just being..

And the worst thing is that its expected, mandated, almost like "compulsory" to be so! In our drive for society, u know the whole "no man is an island" deal, we may have forgotten individuality somewhere on the way.

Btw, I finally got call waiting activated!

uff, yeh zaalim duniya, why couldn’t life be simpler!!

Yours,
Not meowing!
