I like the Evidence lectures because our lecturer invariably deviates from the topic and starts discussing about people and the general trends he notices among students these days. One such observation was “multi tasking” . Doing many things at once and not really enjoying any task exclusively and doing them mechanically. According to him man has evolved from being an animal to become a dual being which is part animal and part machine. The animal being recessive and machine being dominant. We tend to set ourselves a pattern and follow that without changing, which pretty much makes us devoid of any spark which people once referred to as enthusiasm. The machine in us has so progressively taken over that even emoting is a thing of past. [Do you smile when you put a smiley after a sentence? If so yay! You are not that rusty.

These “special days” include mother’s day, father’s day and all the other days. The reason for designating a particular day is to make the consumer fish take the bait. Consumer fish is so blinded by materialism that feelings are given no consideration whatsoever. The key ingredient of these “special days” is the extravagant gifts that are exchanged. As pathetic as this is and as a common occurrence around the globe it sometimes makes me wonder if being shallow is the only way to get by in this world.
