هَلْ يَكْفِي الْحَدِيثُ بِانْبِهَارٍ وَإِعْجَابٍ عَنِ الثَّوْرَةِ الْمَعْلُومَاتِيَّةِ وَثَوْرَةِ الِاتِّصَالَاتِ وَدَوْرِهَا فِي تَطَوُّرِ الْمُجْتَمَعَاتِ وَمَا أَضَافَتْهُ مِنْ كَمٍّ مَعْرِفِيٍّ وَضَعَتْهُ مُتَنَاوَلَ أَيِّ إِنْسَانٍ، دُونَ أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْ تَقَلُّصِ الذَّكَاءِ بِسَبَبِ تَعَوُّدِ الذِّهْنِ عَلَى الْكَسَلِ الْعَقْلِيِّ، حَيْثُ لِكُلِّ سُؤَالٍ جَوَابٌ؟

Is it enough to speak with fascination and admiration about the information and communications revolutions, their role in societal development, and the vast knowledge they have made accessible to everyone, without addressing the decline in intelligence caused by mental laziness, now that every question has an instant answer?

هَلْ يَكْفِي أَنْ نَتَحَدَّثَ عَنْ فَضَائِلِ الشَّبَكَةِ الْعَنْكَبُوتِيَّةِ (الْإِنْتَرْنِت)، وَسُرْعَةِ الِاتِّصَالِ دُونَ أَنْ نَتَحَدَّثَ عَنْ غِيَابِ الْعَلَاقَاتِ وَتَحَوُّلِ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى صَمْتٍ وَاللُّغَةِ إِلَى إِشَارَةٍ، وَالتَّخَاطُبِ إِلَى (شِفْرَةٍ)؟

Is it enough to talk about the virtues of the internet and the speed of communication without discussing the erosion of relationships, the way speech has turned into silence, language into mere signs, and discourse into code?

مِنَ الْبَدِيهِيِّ حُدُوثُ اتِّصَالٍ ذِهْنِيٍّ مِنْ خِلَالِ الشَّبَكَاتِ (الْإِلِكْتُرُونِيَّةِ)، وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا النَّوْعَ مِنَ التَّوَاصُلِ سَيَعْزِلُ الْوِجْدَانَ غَالِبًا.

While it is obvious that mental connection occurs through digital networks, this type of communication often leaves our emotions isolated.
