Notes About The Poem

The Digital Tide

"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."
Quote by Thomas Watson, IBM chairman, 1943


Through the QWERTY maze fingers travel afar
discover where virtual worlds are,
but a digital divide
locations denied.
Modern day
tide,
such dismay
for those left aside.
This is happening worldwide
but we must neither exclude nor bar.
Through the QWERTY maze fingers travel afar.

Sara Simon Rogerson February 4, 2023 at 11:37 PM Thanks. I guess he was, but at the time computers were the size of a house so it's understandable!
