Technology has ill-equipped us.
When are we ever not behind
its trends? The nature
of capital requires us either
to be behind or to believe
we are behind or both.
The next invented, mass-
produced, and marketed
things wait in tiresome,
predictable ambush.
Place: a box canyon
of forced choices.
Think of specific
gadgets and gizmos
you don't own--
which
you will soon purchase,
by choice.
Consider whether
this new bought thing will
really improve your life.
