The Pitfalls of Modern Technology

Two steps forward, three steps back

That is the technology tango

We brag about how far we have come

With AI and virtual identification—

But have we?

***

Two steps forward, three steps back

That is the technology tango

It glitches, it crashes

It drives us insane

And we always point fingers

But who’s really to blame?

***

Two steps forward, three steps back

That is the technology tango

We give our lives over to the techno-giant

Whether for work or for play

It’s all the same

We give ours essences away

But have we?

***

Two steps forward, three steps back

That is the technology tango

We wrap ourselves up in the cyber-web

Make it indistinguishable from ourselves

And our lives get stolen

Our identities forfeit

Technology at fault—

But who’s really to blame?
