Narrow and narrower

.
While it is true that our dependence on technology is not yet total

We are slowly but surely losing our abilities to:

                                                                       Walk

                                                               Sleep

                                                       Squat

                                            Sit cross-legged

                                       Run
.
                              Sing
.
                  Dance

Defecate..................why else do we have so many laxative commercials on TV?
.
There are machines and products out there for all of these.
.
We all used to do all these things unaided.
.
Now even people who could do these find it easier to buy these services.
.
Products to help you sleep, services to save you the effort of walking, and few know how to squat any longer let alone sit crossed legged and when did you last run, sing or dance?
.
At first we laughed at the ideas of Orwell
.
Then we sighed and accepted them.

Now we live in many of them.
.
Can we not see where this is leading us?
.
Or have we lost that capacity as well?
.
What a lovely day it is today.
.
Or didn't you notice?
