Perhaps all too often we forget that the technology which is supposed to bring people closer will make a worse stranger out of us to the other persons. Read Jack the LOT{B}R's bleak prediction of a future technological-paradise where bliss is not the word to describe the state of being.

Pls remember that I am a real person.

When you’re awaken to the soft morning sun,

And receive a new greeting from me,

Remember my dear Friend, that I am a real person,

Who shares the same sun just across the sea.

When you’re busy at your workstation,

And my message arrived at your screen;

Remember my dear Friend, that I am a real person,

Sitting at the end of the line, waiting.

When you walk under the evening sky towards home

And my voice on your phone was heard,

Remember my dear Friend, that I am a real person,

Who shares the same sky, living just down the road.

I hope all my efforts would not fail,

To convince you that I exist,

Remember my dear Friend that I am real

Or else, who do you think wrote this piece?
