War against the machines

Nope, this is not about arnie’s latest exploits…just thought i will give hinduism a break for a day and return to what i was shooting mymouth off, a couple of days back…I got a couple of notes from michelle and sapna, both forced me to think again, but….. Sapna says that if i am born with a silver spoon, i cant live without it, and its not that bad…true, i cant go lower, but arent i always trying to get a gold or platinum spoon, and at the end of the accumulation mania, isnt what is left a hollow feeling…my question, can we ever teach ourselves to be content?? michelle is right in saying that if it leaves her happy, y shdnt she be having a cell, a player and other consumer goodies, my answer is the same as before, then why are we always cribbing, and looking for an outlet like this….from a different angle, i think what i amtrying to say is, :-) , arnt the machines killing our social interaction? i am not talking about the easiness, yes, they have certainly revolutionised communication, but about the quality of interaction.honestly, wouldnt i prefer a face to face conversation than a few sms, chat or a call….when we talk about the good old days of college/university, isnt that what we are missing, the human element, the direct interaction?? but we have easier means now- the net, a cell……and the worst part, in my view is time crunching…..hmmm, that would be tomorrow’s post….
