Bane or Boon?
What an enigma modern technology is!
How great are its advancements!
How dangerously powerful they are!
How charming are its inventions!
How beautifully deceiving they are!
Apps to let me do everything
Search engines to find anything
Everything at my fingertips
Everyone only at a distance of a tap
How incredible is a smartphone!
Notification distracting my attention
Obsessive compulsion to check my empty screen
Getting lost in it for indefinite time
How damaging is it at the same time!
Tens of people to keep in touch with,
Hundreds of people to compare with,
How double edged is social media!
Having access to all the information quickly
Drowning in its volume swiftly
Knowing all the kinds of data on the fly
Losing sense of proportion on the way
How dual natured is the internet!
Is technology a panacea to be used carelessly
Or is it a tool to be leveraged wisely?
Beneath the veneer of advancement
Lurk the questions that are profound
Do we address them being humble or ignore them and fumble?
The choice is ours to make
