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 4/20/2017 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
