Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Digital

I never have been great with technology,
but in this world today I’ve learned I have to TRY to be.
It started out with clocks and cameras for me,
and suddenly I noticed it invading the TV.

From banking to online work and commerce, we can see
everyone’s gone digital with smart phones and 5G!
GPS is all the rage; soon cars you’ll drive hands free, 
and Facebook wants to have us in a Metaverse of reality.

For music, games, books and movies (often there’s a fee)
digital is everywhere, and I can foresee
with A.I. there well may be a robotic crime spree!
All the better that we have the best cybersecurity.
