Technology And Internet Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

Internet technology
specially search engines like Google
is now essential for us
in our daily life
it has hundred plus points
but same time
it has minus points too
it's changing the way of our thinking
reducing the strength of our memories
shortening our attention spans
causing a deeper sense of isolation
pushing youngstars towards suicide.
It affects our brainwork too
our brain is getting rewired
as a result
our ability to learn,
to understand a subject deeply
to focus on a critical essay
and to absorb long articles
all deteriorating quite rapidly.
it's chipping away our overall capacity
our concentration drifting
now we can't move without a google map
can't read even five pages
at a stretch
and deep reading is a struggle
is it a barrier for human development?
