[Critique Group 2] Leonard's comments on Brad's sub

[tuchyner5 at aol.com]

This is a nicely constructed poem. 



I ran through it several times and it trips off thetongue. 



What  I wonderabout is the foundations of this technology. We are depending on, 



and losing our ability to cope without it. 



People are livingat a faster pace, and it is reflectedin everything we do. 



Yet our bodys are growing more and more obese, 



and more and more unhealthy.



Whether this technology is good for us or not is notas important a question 



as the one asking 



can we grow into it in a healthy way. 



We definitely are not using it to our greatestgood.  



When itfails there will be a gnashing of teeth andbeating of the breast. 



How far we will fall is a rreal question.

Future Tracks



© By Brad Corallo



Word count 121




 


 A plethora ofperpetuating  particles And



bits multiply geometrically .



Ensuring expansion of data stream flow. 




 


Concurrently,the dilemma of data management



 grows exponentially. 



Is human memory boundless? 



Are our brains capable of quantum computing? 



Shall we construct some vast A-I?



And if so, is such desireable? 




 


Avalanches of random facts



like tectonic plates 



in continental drift are 



rumbling and rebounding within my pounding head.



Have I gained wisdom



or just bewilderment and confusion? 



 



As we draw dangerously



near to the event horizon.



Crucial questions are quickened:



Has this brought us harmony?



Have we grown in kindness and compassion?



Is this really what we want? 



 



Or has the genie burst forth



from the irreparably shattered bottle?
