Wandering Part VI



"Where is the might of the pen lost? Wasn't it supposed to be mightier than the sword? Then why has it been replaced by a plastic board of chips, circuits and blocks? Will it be able to fight the same battles as the long stick? The smoothness of the paper has also taken shape into a harsh screen called the monitor which cannot be made ugly by the scribbles of the pen. My handwriting does not define me anymore (as I don't WRITE but TYPE)

Technology really changes the world....

And adds to the nostalgia. "


I type this post and wander.

There is no harm if the pen is replaced by the keyboard. If the paper is replaced by the monitor. What matters are the words written, even if they are written by a wooden twig on sand.
"The pen is mightier than the sword."
Dig deeper than the literary meaning, dear sister.
