New Media Savvy

Strange times
Percolate madness;
Cellphone fetish

~~~~~~~~~


Cellphone stalker
Curious episodes;
Checking, re-checking

~~~~~~~~~


Eyes glued
Colourful display;
New media savvy

~~~~~~~~~


Newfound loneliness
Mobile distractions;
Zero people skills

~~~~~~~~~


Empty moments meet
Stone cold template;
Tantrums escalate

~~~~~~~~~


Despite devices
More lonely people;
Broken touch points

~~~~~~~~~


Better devices
Lesser communication;
Info overload!

~~~~~~~~~


Virtually virtual
Pleasure principles;
Creative obstacles

~~~~~~~~~


Touch and feel and see
That virtual reality;
Common sense falters

~~~~~~~~~


Internet disease
Chatter meets splatter;
Informs confusion

~~~~~~~~~


Savvy emoticons
Emojis dazzle;
Lingo of feelings

~~~~~~~~~


Learning
To learn;
How to unlearn

~~~~~~~~~


New-found joy
Savvy strokes tell;
Latest digital device

~~~~~~~~~


Strange times
Telling tales;
Savvy distractions

~~~~~~~~~
