“Sonnet of Technology

Technology is not good or bad,
For it knows no ethics and principles.
The prime directive of all gadgets,
Is to obey algorithm without scruples.
The problem is not technology,
Nor is it the capitalist tendency.
The real disease is human recklessness,
Which is rampant in modern society.
Your phone is not ruining your peace,
You yourself are doing it all.
A society oblivious to moderation,
In time causes its own downfall.
Power is power only when used with caution,
If used wildly all power is poison.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mucize Insan: When The World is Family

Then again, no other major-party candidate for US president had ever been anyone other than a White male.

They were not started out of ignorance, so why would they go away out of knowledge?”
