Sounds like it could be about the accelerating pace of technology. There are references to "archaic" technologies such as paper (instead of electronic files) and stamps (instead of email). Technology provides a sense of divinity, the abstraction of information, and the intermingling of the real and the virtual. It brings everyone closer together ("you could be my mother") yet it makes everyone anonymous ("yet she stays hidden forever"). |
