Technology

Twitter and Facebook
Our favorite games
What’s in the latest that technology makes

Now we can share with a touch of a finger
And we can post on our favorite singer

WhatsApp and Face Time
Movies that stream
Couldn’t imagine this in my wildest dream

Sending a picture at top record speed
Now, what is happening?
Why, it’s Live Feed

So, in this era where everything’s quick
What do you value, what do you pick

Why should we bother to go anywhere
Technology’s fast but friendships are rare
We don’t need to be social because everything’s home
Interconnected, but we feel alone

This is the sacrifice
This is deal
Things are disposable
But nothing seems real

We must remember that we’re not replaced
And not lose humanity in all that we face

Technology’s useful but socializing matters 
Life’s accelerated, but relationships – battered
Let’s combine advancement with old-fashioned ideals
And we’ll experience how an authentic , rich life truly feels
