Torturous Technology

Hidden cameras you don't see Creeps that watch you on T.V. I-Pods taking photographs Put on twitter for a laugh Video streaming on you tube Of teens being very crude Facebook postings not so nice Innocent people pay the price Of all this technology Being used for cruelty Instead of making people smile It is used for being vile Cyber bullyings a way To show hatred every day Pushing someone way to far Causing them another scar This kind of madness needs to end Technology should never send This kind of mean uncaring evil Instead we should make others feel Loved and welcome--never hated This would be appreciated By everyone who wants to see A more friendly technology

Just That Archaic Poet

I am with Tom, here. Technology is both a blessing and a curse. Aside from The Soup, reading news or articles and playing a few games are really the only thing I do on the internet. I get on FB from time to time, and I was obsessed with it for a period of time, but I have since stepped away from it in the last 6 months. It caused me more aggravation than enjoyment. I hate that technology is misused to hurt other people. Another socially conscious and relevant piece from you, my dear :)
