Educated For a World Gone By

Educated for a world gone by
    What can Plato teach me about AI

  So too, Galileo's telescope's in trouble
    James R. Webb's far surpasses even Hubble's 

  It's nice that I read Latin and Greek, I suppose
    But if I'd a known, it's Chinese and Urdu I'd have chose

  A monster Sperry-Univac did the job back in the day
    But a tiny device runs rings around it today

  All those long, romantic letters I'd write
    Today whipped out in 30 characters of delight

  Yes, I was educated for a world gone by
    Yet one question hasn't changed ~ Why?!

He also has a novel based on these theories titled the Observer. Ours is not to reason why……..SuZ Login to Reply Suzanne Delaney Date: 7/10/2023 3:13:00 PM I like that,Gershon. Death is too permanent lol SuZ Gershon Wolf Date: 7/9/2023 7:29:00 PM Well, perhaps it's like this: Ours is to reason why, but over quibbles, not to die...

Shirley Hawkins Date: 7/4/2023 10:19:00 PM This world seems to be ruled, BY unearthly fools Who know it all But not from university or school They have been taught in a differeny way which leave the uneducated to pray as they don't understand the minds of the unearthly man.

Michael Tor Date: 7/4/2023 8:44:00 PM Clever question my friend. Gershon I miss so much the early years when things made sense and there was normality. I was not too fond of all the changes. Some were ok but this world is upside down now. who would have thought the Chinese would have so much powe. I remember when Nixon went over to China and how we helped them get strong and look at what has happened. Thanks for sharing my friend I too wish I had studied Chinese...
