Excellent

I picked up on Revelations and modern technology and see it as a not entirely good thing. Well-written and understandable. Best of luck with this as it makes a very good point.

You are so right, I think you are right, technology might be our game over. "fingertips, predict the weather, monitor your movements
compile your profile and analyze the statistics
explaining the mysteries of the universe until
there is nothing mysterious left about it."

Thanks for the excellent review and I think you got exactly what I wanted to say here. Its always great to hear specifically what worked well. I really wanted to show how technology is being used to explain away God, encourage us to supplant him with science and logic. I don't want to live in a world without miracles. estory

Yes it's true that technology has a strong presence, and controls a lot of things, but it's entirely neutral, it's only the wickedness that makes it function as an evil entity, but it's as much a gift as it is a menace, a proving ground for the lusts of men, but equally a source of amazing revelation to the good men, like the fruit of the tree of good and evil, one doesn't have to be consumed by its temptation, I am concerned about the children however, great observational writing, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Thanks so much for your interesting perspective on the piece, I am glad it made people think. Overall, technology is a man made thing, and as such, it is corrupt and a corrupter of men. The Bible states the anti christ has a human number, 666. Implying it is man made. Steve Jobs picked the name 'Apple' for his company deliberately as a sarcastic take on the apple in the garden of Eden. He also priced his first computer at $666.66. Telling coincidence? What John describes in Revelation is how anyone from 2,000 years ago would describe the computer and cell phone; as beasts with apparently living images on them, that suddenly 'dies' when switched off. The Beast that lives, with a mortal wound. That all men worship, as people do today with their technology. God is in the natural world he created, not in the man created world of tech. estory

I can?t agree men?s creations are corrupt, is poetry corrupt? Or vaccines to overcome illness, surgery to help heal, only the usage of men otherwise God is corrupt, He gives gifts to men, I think mankind is corrupt, as I am, but not my desires, we can trap ourselves in that vortex of thinking. It?s simply not true that technology is bad, it?s another temptation to overcome. We weren?t born to be isolates. Thank you and bless you. Roy

Hi estory, I think you've done very well here. Technology is taking over our life and I don't think that is all that good. Youngsters will soon not know what is fake and what is real. I'm not talking about fake news. I'm talking about living a fake life as opposed to a real life.
This is what your poem brought to me. Ulla:)))

Thanks so much for the excellent review and I think you got exactly what I was trying to say here. Virtual reality is not real living. It is a hollow, manipulative creation. estory
