Technology

Falling head over heels for the ideas That compromise our youth today Were they sent to bind us? Laptops, cellphones, and video games Leaving the air full of corruption Jumbled onto a tiny chip Days beyond a massive explosion Of knowledge exposed by our fingertips A constant need on a digital ride Among the screens we gossip and play Have our morals been justified? Free to be led astray The universe slowly droops her head In shame as her life force fades No longer a simple breeze, instead A constant buzzing is upgraded

I like it and I think you make some valid points about the role tech plays in our life . Have we sold out to technology? Have we sold our souls, our ideals to be supposedly a more technological society? Some have most likely but not all. Some just see these modern-day inventions as tools that can be used for good or bad, to bring about change good or bad not all the younger folks have sold out.

Sorry I have taken so long to reply. I mostly just post n go, but lately I have been writing and wondering if I ever get comments. It is kinda hard to navigate on here when you get so used to Facebook sharing. I greatly appreciate the time you took to read this, and promise to visit yours! -Frankii Fame
