Dependence on Computers

Yutang Lin


As personal computer broke down all matters came to a halt.
All informations and instant communications suddenly ceased.
The perpetual adventures in cyberspace got temporary wake.
When will the illusive nature of evanescent life be recognized?

Comment:

Frank, my second son, upon the delivery of his computer to a store for repair sighed and said, "All my works are in the computer and could not be continued, and all my perpetual instant communications with all my friends suddenly ceased; see how dependent I was on the computer!"

Daily we are besieged by sundry entanglements of worldly affairs of this evanescent life; do we have to wait till our final departure from them to become awakened?
