oh computers ...
I am not so afraid of you now
--having said that, I try never to rely on you too much--
either .
I'm still the sort who feels that
"if they want my money
they can send me a bill".
My friend, who does all things
automatically,
is constantly
on the phone with tech support and reloading and redoing
and totally freaking out
about it
No
I desire as much freedom from freaking out
as I can possibly afford
but losing some of the fear of it is a good thing
it's amazing how far we've come
and how dependent we have become -
and everyone says well just google it,
just fax that, just copy to a pdf and
spin it up into the air and just try and get the printer
to recognize the computer -
oh silly human
that just ain't gonna happen
and when the day comes
that they begin to repair each other
and begin to improve upon our design
and begin to build themselves even better
will they think of us, silly humans, as unnecessary appendages,
partners on the path?,
or something like fleas
which need
to be gotten rid of ...
