I was walking around. It was cold and it was starting to rain. I was looking for a café to sit and have something to drink. When I saw one, I crossed the street and I was there. I sat down and asked for a coffee.

While I was waiting for my coffee, I saw many people sitting in front of their computers. I stood up and came to a thin, medium-height man. I tried to talk to him. But he answered, “I’m Steve. I can’t talk with you. I’m busy.” I thought he was working, and I apologized. Before going back to my seat, I wanted to see what he was doing. I stood behind him and found he was chatting online with somebody--probably someone he didn’t know. I tried again to communicate with him but not a word came out of his mouth. I was getting upset. I touched his shoulder and put my hand in front of the monitor. What he did shocked me. He started to shout, “Leave me alone!” I took a few steps back. I was ashamed. I wanted to look and see if all those people in the café were looking at me, so I raised my head, but there was nobody interested in what was happening because they were all busy with their computers.

At that moment, I realized that the people in that place were not having a cup of coffee and they were only looking for a place to have a nice conversation with their computers. I could see their bodies, but couldn’t feel their souls. That was because their souls didn’t belong to them, instead they belonged to the “net”.
