Making sense of change!

Change is unavoidable; Social life seems stretched, torn and always in upheaval in the process; Our identities become vaguer in the process, less distinct. Physical identity becomes virtual. Where is the hug? Technology races forward like a waterfall, an avalanche. Out of control? How much faster can trains and cars go?; What are some of the components of balance? Time to reflect and observe, a walk in the park; Silence, inside and out; Honesty, abandonment of pretense, be; Relaxation, loss of pressure, slowing down. How do we as a society accomplish something equivalent to the above? and what role does technology play in reaching this? You tell me! What do you think?
