Reign of the Computer
It's a thoroughly amazing creature
of the almighty high-technology,
this high-end computer with magical
and awesome techno-capability.
It conquers distance, it shrinks time and space
with mind-boggling, lightning velocity,
sending oceans of images and words,
sights and sounds instantly throughout the world.
Anyone anytime anywhere, in a way,
is but a few easy mouse-clicks away.
But it seems this gadget of real wonder,
in weird ways, has now become our master;
we're forced to seek new needs for its uses,
this tool now makes the user's excuses;
It spews, for our mental indigestion,
streams of print-outs called raw information
we glamorize as knowledge explosion,
presumed synonymous with education!
