Zero Tolerance Policy

Endowed with not so great five senses, man did well to arrive at jet age. And with enhanced connectivity of minds across the borders, the technology also got wings. Development of various electronic devices supplemented our sluggish senses and helped us to see, hear, smell, taste or feel much beyond our capabilities, and above all gave us the ability to process this enormous data, thus gathered, thru electronic logic gates with the speed of electrons. We were at the door steps of the information age!

Armed with this electric computing power, we transmitted the huge chunks of data through optical network at the blink of an eye. Lo behold! the 5G!! Within no time we become habitual to fast, accurate and prompt responses. The information, which was so hard to access, is now available at the click of mouse.  

To err was human and patience was considered to be a great quality in a good human being. But the technology asks us to be very demanding. Its there to pamper our tantrums and reward us for being mean and intolerant.  

The tech has turned every one of us into an Aladdin. The cell phone, being in Jinni avatar, is our slave, which has enslaved its master. Thy click is my command gadget has turned Aladdin of today into an uncompromising and intolerant brat. We have developed behavioral disorders like ADHD, impatience and intolerance which is very much evident in our actions on social media or otherwise.

The trend is here to stay and the rot is there to grow. No rocket science needed to guess the future of humanity. God bless the Bots! :-)
