Notes About The Poem

- Snap Chat World -

What do you do,
when today's technology does not work ?
Yes, pull out the connector
Count to 10
Restart
You are on line
Digital entertainment has changed,
drastically in recent years
How does the use of new technology,
affect the social life of young people ?
Is there a community in cyberspace ?
I think this technology has changed the world
Your shadow images are no longer available

Connie Marcum Wong June 14, 2017 at 2:42 PM It is up to the older family members to teach the young how to have fun without the computer or cell phone games. My granddaughter would much rather play with me, though she is only five. She has leap pad that teaches her and ABC Mouse another fun learning tool on the Kindle. And we still play shadow games. Love your relatable poem.

Demetrios Trifiatis June 14, 2017 at 5:06 AM Technology is fascinating and helpful but is devouring Man and leads him to an everlasting illusion that when he gets out of it will have to start all over again!
