Technology Running Amok

Technology Running Amok By Elton Camp The newest electronic devices I really enjoy At home and at work I always strive to employ But when I met my supervisor the other day I didn’t much like what it was she had to say For this big, walking, beeping robot thing Right into our place of business did bring She said, “Well hello and how are you Bob? I want to introduce your new assistant Rob.” I hadn’t felt that I had need of any assistant, But her tone showed I’d better not be resistant “Rob doesn’t have to be given any monthly pay Without rest, he will do just anything we say.” “And the best thing about Rob is, I believe That he never uses a single day of sick leave. And annual vacations, he doesn’t require So that temporary workers we have to hire.” “And when he gets old, we can throw him out. A costly retirement plan he doesn’t care about. Oh, and just as quickly as you can do it, Bob, I want you to teach all about your job to Rob.”
