Frightening indeed….this technology!
I came across this line while browsing through another blog. The line actually got me thinking. It made me think was technology actually invading us??? Do we have to compete with technology to survive and keep ourselves going? Or is technology our answer to the complications of life? Is it our way of finding solution for the betterment of human race???


The mosquitoes dint let me sleep they attack me the entire time I lay down. How was I to ward off these creatures????? I wish there was something made to keep them away after the sun went down. They enjoyed and feasted the few hours I went to bed especially since I have to sleep with my window open and position myself directly under the morning rays of the sun so as to wake up with the first rays and then rush to work.
Depending on nature for reaching work just before the boss was really tough…it had it’s own ways of playing a joke on me by waking me a little later than usual when I had loads to finish at work. I wish I had something that could be more dependable to wake me up and help me reach office in time. Anyways no use of wishing cause there is nothing I can do about it except hurrying up my chores and rushing all the way to office.
To reach office I have to take about 10,000 steps one way. I keep track of the number of steps I take to work so as to pass time what else can I do? I hum a tune which I heard Mrs. Xxx sing the other day she is good at it actually the only talented singer in our town and I love hearing her but she charges a lot of money for each song she sings for u its her way of livelihood. I wish I could capture what she things and listen to it all the way to work….ok enough of wishing actually one last wish let Miss yyy reach a little later than me let the sun at her end rise a little later than mine else I will have to hear her scream for the entire day cursing me for not being on time…how do I manage being ahead of her everyday? I need to hire a detective to note down her every move and be at work before her J sounds fun!!! but who can afford one??
……Ninenintyninethoushand……ten thousand and there am at work. The building looks nice it’s a small 2 storey thing with about 50 people cramped up inside the builder wanted to increase the stories but it was impossible for the workers to carry all the stuff required by them to the top without hurting and tiring themselves…it would be a lot more comfortable for us though not to be sticking into each others nose while working on the barter system….I forgot to mention my company handles property for people (the class of society) who cannot manage keeping a track of their trading they did come to us on daily basis actually they hire people to carry material across long distance to get to us. Sometimes we are also made to go all the way to our clients because they have more to offer us. We have groups of people to calculate trade, to run and quickly pass important messages to the clients (these are usually athletes ) then there are others who keep track of all the work we have done, list of our clients etc…there is so much paper around….Its a tough job..for all of us..
The entire day goes by really fast at work, today I had about 20 people coming to me with all their trading details and now as the sun sets my head stops functioning I’m tired and have to force myself back home dragging my feet another 10,000 steps. Why is there nothing that would allow me to sit and move all the way back and forth????
By the time I reach home it’s already dark outside and the attackers are back…today I don’t need to sleep outside tomorrow is my off every seven days I get an off. We keep track on this religiously J I prepare some supper for me actually I just eat an apple because I’m tired of lighting fire to cook my meal and then I slip under the blankets…thinking about my family, I miss them I had to start living on my own because my work place was really far from home…I wish I could talk to my mom …before I drift to a sleep I send a prayer up to heaven asking god to find a solution to all my problems…surprising god answers with a bell….I smile…happy to know my prayers were acknowledged the bell continues to grow louder and louder my the minute…it reaches a point where I cant bear it any longer….I twist and turn hold the blanket over my ears to stop the ringing in my ears but it doesn’t…just then I hear my mom scream my name…I open my eyes…and there she is screaming in my ears oops I had my hands free on…I usually set the alarm clock and always tell my mom to wake me up so I can reach work on time…so she calls each morning…as the dream fades out, my mind becomes a little clear about everything I speak to my family living a flight away tell them I miss them and rush out to work. My work place is an hour away but I enjoy the journey that the time I get to listen to my favorite artist on my ipod as I sit by my favorite window seat in the company bus.
Am I glad god answered my prayers by sending technology to the rescue....


Technology is making it possible to spread emotions & smiles virtually,yet these are real enough to touch the heart.
