Technology Mad

Before you get mad at technology, Get mad at being mad about technology, And the money you waste on technology, Because of the view that all technology is efficient technology. Is not technology there to help us use our intelligence, Should not due diligence be a sign of that intelligence, And is not using technology wisely a sign we are using that intelligence. Is it not time, Before we run out of time, To take the time, To see if some technology is costing us time, While we still have time.

This is totally spot on! Society has experienced a heavy bombardment. I agree, while there is valuable content to be viewed, where does one turn when too tired to read intended book/s. - - to You Tube gossip and garbage - (guilty secrets)! Thanks for providing this message, David.

You are most welcome Sigrid. I Love playing around with words like this. Our grandson is 18 months and and is following the families love for books. I was an early childhood teacher for around 30 years and wrote a book called ' Suffer the Little children' self published, so I know some technology is great just not all and we need to keep our objectivity and not just play follow the leader.
