the coming revolution

     Is there not a revolution coming,
     A generation of youth born into every kind of gadget & digital gimmick, a youth who will stop to ask the question, "how much information does a human being need?"  Who will recognize this sea of technology as mediation from life's sources, mediation from the wind sun rain & stars, from birds & trees, technology that delivers not the enlargement of time & space (as promised) but the amplification and underscoring of them?
     Is there not a day coming,
     When a new wave of young people will INSIST on direct contact with this earth & sky, with each other, and pronounce cybernetics for what it is-- a fascination with cleverness, an elaborate testament to the new truth that "Invention is the mother of necessity"?
