A view of technologies benefit from
the eye of E.A. Poe’s – The Raven
As the poem “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe delves into the individually centric experience of the narrator, we see a clear focus on the self and one’s own emotions and thoughts. The narrator is haunted by the loss of his beloved Lenore and cannot escape the context, pain, and grief that consumes him. The Raven serves as a symbol of the narrator’s internal turmoil and the hopelessness he feels as he grapples with his feelings of loss and despair.
The Individual Centricity in “The Raven” is evident in the way that the narrator’s internal experience is the driving force behind the poem. The narrator’s thoughts and emotions are at the forefront, with the Raven manifesting his inner turmoil. The poem is a reflection on the narrator’s own personal struggle and the way that he is grappling with his own emotions.
In this way, “The Raven” serves as a poignant reminder of the power of the individual experience and how our thoughts, emotions, and perspectives can shape our reality. It is a clear lesson in the power of contextual relevance as the key to understanding. The Raven in the story enforces contextual relevance and, in doing so, provides the required framework for learning to develop. It is a haunting and beautiful exploration of the human condition and how we all must face our own demons and struggles at some point in our lives. Individual Centricity is the opportunity to find our true path.
THE WEB – as seen by the Raven
Amidst the chaos of the world wide web, I sat alone, gazing at my screen
Searching for some kind of solace, some small measure of serenity
But the endless scroll of information, the constant stream of noise
Left my mind a jumbled mess, my soul a hollowed void
And then, like a beacon in the darkness, a flash of hope appeared
A link to a world beyond the web, a place where I could disappear
I clicked, and as the page loaded, a sense of peace washed over me
An oasis in the digital desert, a place of individuality
For in this world of constant connectivity, of never-ending notifications
It can be easy to lose sight of the self, to become lost in the masses
But on the web, can one find a sense of self, a place to be oneself?
A place to explore and discover, to find one’s own identity?
So I sat, at first, lost in the apparent beauty of the web, lost, or buried,
entombed by my thoughts in a world so loud and fraught,
Yet, in this digital realm, I sensed – a sense of calm, a sense of peace
A growing reminder of the importance of individual Centricity.

And though the world outside may still be loud and fraught
In this digital realm, I found a sense of calm, a sense of peace
A reminder of the importance of individual Centricity.
As I sat there, lost in the web, I couldn’t help but think
Of all the other individuals out there, each with their own unique link
To this vast and intricate network, this global tapestry of humanity
Each with their own thoughts and feelings, their own experiences and realities
And though we may be connected, though we may share the same space
We are each, therefore, unique, with our own stories and our own place
In this world of constant connection, it can be easy to define ourselves
To become just apart from the crowd, a unique voice on the shelf
But the beauty of the web, the beauty of this digital age
Is the way it allows for individual expression, for the ability to engage
With the world on our own terms, to share our thoughts and ideas
To find our own place in this vast and diverse community
With individual Centricity, I sat there, found in the trusted simplicity, I couldn’t help but feel
Now grateful for this platform, this place where I am real
Where I can explore and discover where I am myself
A reminder of the importance of individual Centricity, even in a world of constant connectivity.
Where before, deep into that darkness, peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only phrase there spoken was whispered, “You’re Secure?”
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back, “You’re Secure!”—
Merely this and nothing more.
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted — You’re Secure
But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore—
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking, “You’re Secure.”
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
But the Raven sits alone and still, and holds his tongue, and still
Quoth the Raven, “You’re Secure.”
