Technology is Ruining Us

Our Destructive Technology-08

...🌏🌏🌏...

Tonight as usual, crickets sounded like they were accompanying a night decorated with stars. Not the same as the sky in the city, the sky in the star village was much more and more luminous.

Silent night, there was only the moon to be the light while this village became so dark, there was no electricity flow of lights so our village became so dark.

Only a torch became a flashlight for our villagers in the village of Swatani. After the prayer in the mosque is now the stage of dinner accompanied by a small fire on a candle made of iron cans filled with a little kerosene then the end of the wick that is on the cloth it was burned producing a small light that was able to light us up for dinner.

The sound of chewing and a little talk about the results of the garden these few weeks became a staple of discussion in our family however, the, the discussion went off when Kang Roy said something that made our eating scene unpleasant.

I can only be silent to come to these adults talking to each other.

"Why go to town if we can work here?"

"Purpose people to the city, just to find work. What do you want to do in town?"

"If there is already a job why should we look for a temporary job in the village we have a lot of work?"

"Yes Roy knows, sir, but Roy wants to find another job where Roy's energy is needed there."

"Roy, instead of you wanting to ban it, just that high school graduates are not too expected there."

"There that is growing rapidly and much needed is a minimum undergraduate S1 or D3. You do not enter to demean but think first, son if you want to go!"

"I'm sorry, sir, Roy's been thinking about going to town for days looking for a new job."

"Roy does not want to continue working in the garden to bear bananas. Sometimes also want to work as a member of the company or so," he continued.

I could see Mr. who was seen massaging his coatings as if so dizzy after listening to the conversation.

"What company is Roy? High School graduates can't work in companies."

"Whose word, sir? My friend can."

"Which friend are you?"

"Ujang Si. Working in the city, the salary is also a lot. He used to be just a junior high school graduate, my school is higher than he is but he has a good job."

"And he said he worked in the office" he continued.

"Have you seen it firsthand?"

Kang Roy is silent and it seems like you know the answer.

"If you haven't seen it in person, it means there's no evidence yet."

"Tomorrow?"

Kang Roy nodded. I looked at Mom and Dad one by one. They seem to be breathing heavily. I know they don't seem to agree with that.

This time dinner felt so long gone, everything was spent telling stories while my ears seemed to be filled with explanations from Kang Roy who really hoped to be allowed into the city.

Actually I also want to go to the city but my willingness to go to the city not to work but want to see the scenery in the city I was made curious by the words of people who said if in the city it was more beautiful than the village, he said tall buildings almost touch the sky. Is that the height of the building in the city?

But unfortunately seeing the face of the Father who looks so flat as to undo my intentions. Curiosity about the city made my mind shrink. The image of the face of your grief will be multiplied if I also ask for permission to travel to the city.

Night, starry night, starry night, dark nights and nights of noise from nature have filled our village untouched by technology and progress made by the world and said to be made by intelligent brained humans.

I sat in the room, laying my head on the lip of the window, staring at the moon above. The trees that appear blackened, no longer clear.

As the moonlight illuminated him, the howls of the sound of dogs, the quarrels of birds and the voices of other animals became complementary in the silence of the night.

Maybe for some people to experience a quiet night is a night full of scary things but, for us not one bit feel the horror of a darkness makes a fear.

For us the natural scenery seemed to beat the talk and made by the people of the city in a horror film that is said to make a quiet village and dense forests into one of the ghost suggestions.

For me it is not a ghostly nest but a bountiful result of nature, scattered animals.

What do you think makes people lift a village and a dense forest as a means of ghosts? Making a forest as a nest of ghosts so that people do not dare to come to the forest and destroy everything because people are not afraid of the destruction of nature but with a word of ghost in the forest so rarely people who want to come to the forest.

For me, a ghost movie lifted out of thick forests like this is a good idea to keep disaster at bay. This is just a good thought as well so there are not many and even almost no city people who come to the forest always bother him like what happened in the village opposite.

I have often heard of the arrival of city people who damage the environment. One of the villages on the other side is Swalaya village, the village was once almost the same as our village which was so beautiful, clean with a lot of natural abundance, however, because the arrival of the humans from the city destroyed everything until now the village of Swalaya fell poor because of the arrival of technology.

And I hope the technology doesn't come and destroy our village. Technology sounds scary.

What is it just like that technology? Is like a ghost in the forest told by humans who live in the city with his smart brain.

However, for us they are not intelligent but greedy. Want to eat everything then if it eats everything then I, the generation that will take care of it later must how?

What will we take care of?

World destruction?

we don't have the resources to fix that, it's too difficult for us. It's hard for us.

What solution can we use? Too difficult however, damaging it with just one move. Well, that's the city people.
