In Praise of Modern Technology

In Praise of Modern Technology By Elton Camp When a fellow has been around lots of days It’s the good old times he’s expected to praise Sure, in some ways, better days I have seen I’d love the strength and energy of sixteen A world without air conditioning—not for me And digital television I really like to see Also, central heat I am very glad did replace Smoky stoves and wood-burning fireplace Having a telephone with me that is mine Is so far better than the old eight-party line To drive a car that is dependable and quiet Sure beats the old ones that seldom ran right Endless information my computer displays There was nothing like it in the good old days Some wallow in nostalgia all that they can Don’t expect to hear it from this old man
