well, that was pessimistic

Very good. I love these sort of thought-provoking pieces.

This is a very interesting piece. It's short, but it says all that needs to be said with just as many words as seem to be necessary - the length is just right, too. A slightly chilling but tangible view to the darker side of technology, it portrays very well what can happen if we forget that to be heard, we also have to stop and listen. even though it's here at FictionPress, it's also true.

The pictures you paint in the reader's mind's eye are very personal. They crept somewhere inside me and caught on a thought I knew I had but hadn't really given that much time and devotion to. If this is a wake-up call, it's a very effective one.

This is simply a very good piece. Well written, thought-provoking... I've read countless of semi-official columns and such that fall hopelessly short of this quality. I'll be sure to see that other people will come to this place because they do know it's there. :)

scary, yet true.
