About This Poem

Hi Tech Gadgets

Hi tech trinkets
Shiny new gadgets
Radically transforming ourselves
There's an app for that

Absence of human touch
And Face-to-face emotions
Connect through texting
Computer generated desires

Hi tech verse humans
Paradox of our time

    You know I agree since you commented on my movie write Alone..all I could think was that poor man [and how foolish that woman was] I spoke to him for a few minutes but goodness, there was no sign of human contact between them, such is livfe now I guess. So nice to hear from you! Light & Love Always
