Smart phones are a great thing. We need to determine how to use them for society's sake.
Let's Go Back to Simpler Times
By Franklin Price

Let's go back to simpler times
And turn the world around
Control ourselves a little
In this future we have found
Wasn't long ago we talked
Out loud and face to face
Conversations rambled
At a less frenetic pace
Cell phones were invented
They appeared to be so great
Took away our need to meet
Even talking while we ate
Then along came Smart Phones
We aren't talking any more
Messaging and tweeting
Closing conversation's door
Now type communications
Tweets limit what we say
If characters exceeded
Can't send my thoughts your way
I've entered them with flashing thumbs
Went over what's allowed
Bumped into maybe one or two
Also tweeting in the crowd
My display has reminded me
My thoughts have gone awry
Maybe we should meet for drinks
Talk face to face before we die
