Tech Without Touch

I’m told that by the year 2030, will exist a robot with an IQ of 10,000.
 
Proponents of artificial intelligence prophesy of the ‘singularity’,
 
…a moment machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence.
 
Can they make a heart or soul to go along with those brains?
 
In today’s hyperlinked world, automation – the latest seduction.
 
Although sometimes profitable, the essence of something special seems to have been lost,
 
….drowning in an infinite sea of shallow connections.
 
My phone call yesterday to sing a friend a happy birthday song, doesn’t seem to be something that could be adequately replaced with an email.
 
The laughs and warm songs of soul that fell on my ears as i chatted with one of my best friends yesterday via phone,
 
… doesn’t seem to be something that could’ve been replaced with a voice broadcast.
 
Sometimes progress can be a circle that turns us back around to where we started.
 
And sometimes, maybe it’s good to slow down, to speed up for the long-haul.
