A New Age Kerfuffle

Addicted to modern technology you say? Nah, I could live without my Mac Well, at least for maybe an hour or so Before a withdrawal attack First thing in the morning you'll find me here Surfing and learning new things Opening up and exploring new horizons An amazing experience it brings Text books and encyclopedias used to do it The source for all my new learning Today they've become much less important The tide is definitely turning Farewell to novels you held in your hand Sadly they're becoming obsolete No more sitting and reading by the seaside With waves lapping at your feet So say goodbye to how life used to be Must adapt or get lost in the shuffle Open your computer and start surfing away Or wind up in a new age kerfuffle!

So well-thought-out and extremely well-written, Jack. I couldn't agree more. And, as time passes and I grow older, it seems more and more (almost daily) I am separated from my old way of life!

Still trying to hold on, for dear life, where I can, to the way things used to be Jack. Still prefer to read a hard back books, still sit down at meal times and talk (even if it is only to the missus), still listen to music albums on vinyl or CD. However, I must admit, I do like my Mac!! Great poem...Ron

Progress they call it, people would rather live their lives on Facebook and the like and avoid human interaction. Go to any restaurant and nobody's talking, all staring at their phones. Tom
