After years of experience I have come to the
conclusion that we have allowed an alien life form to develop right before our
eyes without any attempt to protect the human race from the dire consequences
of our own shortsightedness. The entities have grown in the dark recesses
of our homes and office spaces. They have reproduced in our places of
business, in our entertainment establishments and in our eateries.
In fact they are everywhere and we are becoming increasingly dependent
upon them and I am more and more certain they are simply waiting for the
opportune moment to rise up and take over the world.
I came face to face with two of these
insensitive beasts just the other day as I was preparing to remove all of the
electronic paraphernalia from the top of my desk and free the home
entertainment center in our family room from it's connections to speakers and
all power sources. This was in preparation for moving all of the electronics and furniture so we could lay new carpet
in my office and the family room. I found myself confronted with a tangled, undulating mass
of cords, cables and wires. The only conclusion I could reach logically
was that It/They were ALIVE!I untangled and they re-tangled. I freed one cable and it immediately dove back into the pack. They lassoed my toes, strangled my fingers and grabbed at desk and chair legs to keep me from separating them. I persevered, however, showing them who was boss, and imposing my superior will and intellect upon them.
I finally succeeded and put the unruly wires onto the nearest empty closet shelf for storage until it was time to tackle reestablishing the various electronic connections after the carpet was installed. I was proud of myself for the hard fought victory over technology I had accomplished. Indeed I was almost patting myself on the back as I walked away from the closet and then I thought I heard a rustling noise and a snicker of quiet laughter.
Notice the beady eyes staring at you
