Technology has changed so much in so little time. I'm sure it was much like the automobile replacing the horse and carriage. Technology is replacing personal interaction...what a shame.
Reminiscence of My Childhood

Reminiscence of my childhood
Looking back on younger days
When life was not so hectic
Mass media not the craze
No such things as cell phones
We had a party line
Speaking to an operator
To call a friend was fine
To look up information
An encyclopedia of course
And other books of reference
Library was the source
Checked out books of interest
Could not down-load on the phone
Novels read from page to page
The turning put me in the zone
Check out time was just two weeks
Returning late there was a fine
An exorbitant two cents a day
A large amount if it was mine
Computers filled more than a room
At least that's what I heard
Apple was a fruit to eat
Micro-soft was not a word
Of course there was no texting
Conversations face to face
Meeting at the local drive-in
For a burger was the place
Reminiscence is so wonderful
It always makes me smile
I'll post this poem on Face-book
In just a little while
