Danger Will Robinson

I see books in machines 
Cursive disappearing
The brain is now a computer
No more handwriting

Electricity is all you need
To lazy to turn on lights
Machines will do it
Want to know the weather

Ask a machine
No need to drive a car
All done by a machine
No more ordering from a human

Ask a machine
Can’t read a map
Ask a machine
So lazy we have become

These machines we created to save time but in today’s world
We waste more time talking to a machine
Children communicating through a machine
We no longer need people just a machine

Frightening thought Bobby but it's happening now. Used to love lost in space. Tom

It's true... Alexa, Ipad, iPhone, computer... I use them all and realize that if we didn't have electricity to run everything, we'd be really stuck the way things are today. I would have liked to live in the "old days" when everyone had a garden, livestock and all that - but it was a lot of hard work too... off I go thinking.... Love your poem... God bless you
