The Pc Hi Tech Age

In this modern age of ours 
with all the gadgets of the day 
pc's, laptops, i-phones, tablets 
what would our ancestors say? 

These new things are all well and good 
but they do take up lots of time time 
that can be so precious 
so little even for a drink of lime 

The longer we sit at our screens 
the worse our eyesight can be 
we need be sure to take a rest 
so to protect our eyes to see 

It's easy to get caught up 
with facebook, twitter and the like 
social media can really grip us 
from it we should go on strike 

Our ancestors would not envy us 
of all this pc hi tech age 
they had one real special gift 
time to live on their world's stage

I was only talking with my mum about the amazing changes she has seen over her lifetime - she was born in 1922. A great write about technology and how it impacts onto our lives:-) Hugs Jan xx
