delete and obliterate

i have been staring at the curser for the past thirty minutes, and its been blinking back at me stubbornly, i made atleast two false starts... thank heavens there is a delete button, handy these things, would have been terribly dandy if we all had one wired into us.

"i dont like your face... delete". "i slept with that twerp... delete". "i screwed up... delete". reminds me of the article i once read about people deleting the numbers of their partners/spouses from their phones' contact list, after a break up.
how terribly cold is that?! it is like obliterating someone's existence from your world.
"i am dumping you... delete".

the mobile phone is such a vile curse! who needs the ebola virus or a nuclear war? anyone who's been dumped over a text message, knows exactly what i am talking about.
this little gizmodo will do us in. earlier when we called one another, we said."hello, how are you doing?" now when we call, its,"where are you?!" dwell on this for a minute... when did 'where' become more important than 'how'?
a person's physical location has become more important that his well being?! this little beast has completely changed the way people interact with one another. we have mobile phones, landlines and the internet, yet our communication has dwindled to pathetic, superficial, terse bursts of information exchange.
there seems to be very little or no place for meaningful conversations, long pauses, meandering debates...only general paranoia and vague disconnectedness.

the world's shrinking, but people are drawing farther apart.
it is rather sad... this death of fondness, of concern, of time lavished upon things of no particular purpose... this death of memories.
