This was originally going to be a one-line monoku... I suppose that with the additional lines, it may be termed a mono-cuckoo!

Modern man worships at the altar of technological progress For better or for worse For richer or for poorer To have and to hold 'Till death do them part

I sent my Echo back as soon as I realized it was copying my words. That was some time ago. I can live nicely without its intrusion. I can relate! : ) xxoo

As I said to Caren, yes, iPhones do go to graveyards. Maybe Alexa, too? Good poem. Panagiota

Well,... my guess is that Alexa will either be replaced by an AI that's infinitely more capable than she is, or she'll just be reclassified as such when the new technology is available. Best wishes, Gershon

Can just see coffins in the future, they'll have a couple of usb ports and a charging point for your phone lol.

Ha, ha. Right you are, Tom... Ministers will have to change that 'till death do us part' line, as couples will be connected forever... LOL. Thanks for your insightful comment. ~ Gershon

I have a feeling some will be taking their I-phones with them in the form of a King Tut sort of thing.
