What a marvel is the 21st Century
in its miraculous communication modes
ensuring that no one truly must be
isolated though they may inhabit a
remote island of their own. Live, real-time
chats seamlessly conducted as fingers
fly over a keyboard or words breathed
into a receiver. Through design and
innovation thousands of miles of
geography have drawn close, the world
become a chummy place even as
alienated conflict arises, onlookers
gawping to their hearts' content. Advice
to accompany compassion for a
stranger suddenly an intimate
irrespective of distance. Estrangement
binds minds in a spirited dance of
communion. We need never again
emerge from the sweet haven of home
to experience the pleasure of leisure
in exotic parts. A few keyboard strokes
suffice to order goods and services. We
extend our hands by proxy and welcome
friends so latterly strangers. Roam the
Ethernet for world news, entertain by
gaming our bored minds. Which may, in
due course, become all that is left of our
modern corporeal essence come the future.
