What Chance Did I Stand Against Kismet?

After buzz and hype words, the Kismet! Whether if it is from stillness or turbulence, haste or slowness, soul or mind, love or desperation, concern or assurance everyone arrives there, sooner than later. There’s the place, about one moment yonder!

The buzzwords, catchwords and hype words don’t seem to lead people anywhere. They have no entity, they do not transmit anything pure, and they are like thousands of wasps, bees, horseflies and mechanical drills preventing us from hearing and seeing. When some chosen one manages to see the curtain that separates the apparent reality from the true reality (and it may be that it is the curtain of green letters that form the Matrix) he discovers how the omnipresent technology is a spell of time that does not allow to see more.

The noise of the cascade of words that is presented before the attentive gaze of the spectator surprises him, when he sees that inexhaustible veil of characters come down, previously imperceptible, but now vivid. The viewer understands that his world is more than that source code, that goes beyond that programming language of life, that transcends scriptures, dialect and voice.

What lies behind Crypto, APPS, NFTs, Blockchain, Metaverse, Application, Ads, B2B, B2C, Business To Avatar, Skins, Background, Scrolling, Dashboard, Engagement, Landing Page, Troll, Widget, Spam, Personalization, URL, OS, API, DEVOPS, Backend, Curation, Embed, Blogging, Call To Action, Keywords, SEO, Traffic, A/B Testing, Grid, SAAS, Pixels, PPI, Vector, UI, UX, Flow, Personna, Kerning, Tracking, Serif, HTML, Elements, Self-Closing Tag, CSS, Value, Convergence, Bug, Editor, Control, Cache, Router, Uptime & Downtime, VPN, Big Data, Database, IDE, Native, Responsive, SDK, Web, PDF, ADSL, Attachment, Bandwidth, Exponential, Digital, Virtual, Assistive, Bluetooth, Bit, Browser, CAD, Chip, Frontend, Cloud, CPU, Cyber, Domain, Device, Firewall, Ethernet, Intranet, Internet, Malware, Plug-in, POP, Pop-up, WPA, Zip, Worm, Virus, Net Neutrality, Mining, Data Mining, AI, Machine Learning, Siri, Chatbots, IoT, Quantum, Robotics, VR, AR, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5G, terabyte, Smartphone…?

Beauty, loveliness, exquisiteness, magnificence, splendor, glory, majesty, marvel, wonder, grandeur, exaltation, adoration, praise, applause, joy, happiness, ecstasy, delight, bliss, pleasure… Cascades of celestial words falling like violins, smiling, granting peace. And where do I find those words? How can I see them rejoicing to my presence? Oh, they’re there. There’s the place about one moment yonder. Can you see it? Can you feel it? See the color changing. No more black and green sights but snowy clouds and light-blue and yellow and silver and gold and bleached frosty skies. No more darkness nor night or obscurity. Sunny, bright, well-lit light. Can you caress it with your soul?

No?

If you grasp it return to your day, to your technology and buzzwords in a loud voice and fall at your feet and give thanks. You know where those new words are. Go and look for them!
