The Curse of Technology

The curse of technology,
It has taken over me.
Fear and panic soon ensue
If I'm low on battery.

If I get no signal,
And my emails go unchecked
I fret about what's in there,
Emotionally I'm wrecked.

I need to be on facebook
Instagram or more.
I need social media,
I'm like an online whore.

Message me, give me a nudge
Send me emoticons,
Please, please, give me a like
Or I can't carry on.

This technology sure is taking over things lately. I have been happier without watching TV. And what stresses me out is trying to figure out tech problems LOL. Good one Gary :)
