Keep Up With the Tech

[Lightning Rod]

technology has been the driving force for cultural change
since they discovered fire.

things are just moving faster these days.
One person can do the work of ten
because of the technology.

whether it's the threshing machine
or the cotton gin or that
Luddite nightmare, the flying shuttle.

Or the car or the aereoplane
or compound interest or cloning
or the cracking of the atom.

you can't stop technology
any more than you can stop evolution
or our journey toward heaven.

'dora's box contained knowledge
like the apple of eve
once it's opened or bitten, the cat's out of the bag.

Time moves in one direction,
but light can go anywhere.
like the internet, the new medium.

Keep Up

I know why Prometheus suffers
He had it coming.

Prometheus: Such are the inventions
I devised for mankind,
Yet have myself no cunning wherewith
To rid me of my present suffering

We're much better at keeping up with the tech. than with ourselves, or so it would seem. It's time we all got religion. Oh wait...
