Technology

"One Thanksgiving, I was asked a question by my grandfather, who always seems to have some deep moral hidden in his questions. He asked if I even knew what technology was in a world that itself is a technology. Usually when asked these types of questions, I think about them for a while and then forget them. For some reason this question, however, is different. I am constantly reminded of it because, I suppose, everything around me is technology. I have contemplated this question for more than a year now and so far, here is the best answer I have come up with.
Every day something new is invented to make life easier. What I find strange, though, is that as the world becomes easier to live in, it seems to need more. People find solutions for problems that barely exist.
Do I really need that MP3 player when I can just burn a CD? Or do I even need that CD burner when I can go out and buy the CD? Or do I really need that CD when I can read a book instead? This progression could go on forever. For every invention, a new and better one will follow.
The more I look at the world and technology, the more I think about myself. Without even realizing it, my life has been affected by technology and its never-ending advances. While I have spent days writing endless emails and watching DVDs, I never stopped to think about the technology behind these devices.
I worry that I do not understand the genius behind technology. I have turned on lamps countless times without really appreciating Thomas Edison’s invention. Talking on the telephone, I forget to thank Alexander Graham Bell for his miracle of communication.
Even after thinking and writing about technology, I still do not think I have fully answered the question my grandfather asked me. I believe the answer is no – I do not really know what technology is, because everything around me is technology. I suppose technology is anything from the invention of a fishhook to the ability to clone sheep. Technology is inevitable.
Through necessity we invent, and through invention we need more. This never-ending circle of technology has brought the world this far."

excerto de "Adeus", em "Contos"

"-Porque escolheste esta vida?
Agora a pergunta era tão clara que eu não achei uma sombra para me esconder. De outras vezes, outra gente me perguntara o mesmo. E nunca soube responder. Falavam-me de fora, de outro mundo, com uma linguagem diferente. E assim, as nossas ideias jogavam à cabra-cega. Eu próprio, quando queria entender-me, espreitando-me donde me não suspeitasse, não tinha razões talhadas à medida do meu sonho. Os princípios do senso, da justiça, talvez tivessem envelhecido e não pudessem acompanhar o meu anseio. Só metido dentro de mim eu me compreendo todo e sem razões. Hei-de um dia tombar e arrefecer. Talvez então seja possível a outros ler em rigor o que se imobilizou da minha agitação. Até lá, é difícil. Qualquer coisa me está sempre forçando os limites, mesmo da regra que julgo dar-me. (…)
Tenho pés para andar e olhos para ver. Posso sentar-me ou posso fechar os olhos e dizer que não há sol nem estradas. Mas eu sei que há estradas e sol e que os olhos vêem e os pés andam. Por mais que eu queira, quando sei por dentro que uma coisa está certa, eu tenho de saber que está certa. E ainda que os outros saibam que está errada, isso não me ajuda."

"Brick By Boring Brick", Paramore

"She lives in a fairy tale, somewhere too far for us to find. Forgotten the taste and smell of a world that she's left behind. It's all about the exposure, the lends I told her. The angles were all wrong, now she's ripping wings off of butterflies. Keep your feet on the ground when your head's in the clouds. Go, get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole, to bury the castle. (...) So one day he found her crying, coiled up on the dirty ground. Her prince finally came to save her, and the rest you can figure out... But it was a trick and the clock struck 12. We'll make sure to build your home brick by boring brick, or the wolf's gonna blow it down. (...) You built up a world of magic, because your real life is tragic. (...) If it's not real you can't hold it in your hands, you can't feel it with your heart, and I won't believe it; but if it's true you can see it with your eyes, even in the dark, and that's where I want to be (...)"

"Hero", Nickelback

"I am so high, I can hear heaven. (...) Whoa, but Heaven...no, Heaven won't hear me. And they say that a hero could save us, I'm not gonna stand here and wait; I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles, watch as we all fly away. Someone told me love would all save us, but how can that be? Look what love gave us: a world full of killing and blood spilling. That world never came. (...) Now that the world isn't ending, it's love that I'm sending to you. It isn't the love of a hero and that's why I fear it won't do. (...) And they're watching us (...) as we all fly away. (...)"

"Uprising", Muse

"The paranoia is in bloom, the PR, the transmissions will resume. They'll try to push drugs, keep us all dumbed down and hope that we will never see the truth around. Another promise, another scene, another. A package not to keep us trapped in greed with all the green belts wrapped around our minds, and endless red tape to keep the truth confined. They will not force us. They will stop degrading us. They will not control us, and we will be victorious. Interchanging mind-control. Come let the revolution take its toll. If you could flick the switch and open your third eye, you'd see that we should never be afraid to die. Rise up and take the power back, it's time that the fat cats had a heart attack. You know that their time is coming to an end. We have to unify and watch our flag ascend. (...)"

"United States of Eurasia", Muse

"You and me are the same. We don't know or care who's to blame, but we know that, whoever holds the reins, nothing will change. Our cause has gone insane. And these wars, they can't be won. (...) And do you want them to go on, and on, and on? Why split these states, when there can be only one? And must we do as we're told? (...) You and me fall in line, to be punished for unproven crimes! And we know that there is no one we can trust; our ancient heroes, they are turning to dust! And these wars, they can't be won. Does anyone know or care how they begun? They just promise to go on, and on, and on, but soon we will see there can be only one! (...)"
