I'm connected to my earphones, which are connected to my phone, which is connected to the outlet.
I'm connected to my mouse, which is connected to the CPU, which powers the monitor, which are both connected to the outlet.
I'm cooled, given oxygen by the airconditioning, given vision by the lights above me, which are both connected to the outlet.
Funny how we are able humans, young and alive, and yet we have this innate vulnerability and dependence on electricity, on machines, on commercial technology. Just like select humans who turn brain dead and are kept alive only through breathing and feeding tubes, we are another select group, kept alive only through these electrical tubes that are indirectly a part of us.
And once those plugs are pulled out, we lose all chance of survival, materialistically, financially, emotionally. Just not physically, but I think it's just a matter of time before we are THAT reliant on technology.
