Cel Phone Addiction

Touch And See 

We are a society of folded ears. We opt for our apps 
 through touch tone effect instead of real conversation. 
 We are a generation of visual selects that forgo the hearing
 only to embrace tap memorandum. It works great on the optic 
 nerve but what does it do for the hearing workout ? 
 We send emoticons & floating sonic hearts but sometimes
 we need to be heard for .... R E A L ....
 we need time that the computer can't steal...
 . we read about our family members through the internet 
 . we listen to nature through the internet
 it is easy to lose our equilibrium and feel like we are living 
 in a cyber wheel that doesn't stop. 
 A D D ... ANOTHER DIFINITION for it WOULD BE, 
 Applicable, * Deaf *Disorder 
 DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU.

Pixie, I know what you mean, but check out Bill Bailey's "Ringtone Symphony". Creativity and knowledge should be the ultimate goal. Thanks for the read Pixie.

I am not one for the phone or computer. I am more for pen and paper. I have notebooks full of stuff. Lol. I guess as it says I show which generation I am from.

I fear I am becoming an internet addict. On the subway everyone is staring into cell phones. I don't know what we are becoming! Is chess more popular than backgammon in your country, I just wrote a poem about chess which I do like to play! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Complex cell phones have taken over the minds of our youth, but for those born into it they are simplicity itself. Emile. P.S. please read my blog and let me know if you are interested.
