time differences...
between many different
clocks on the walls andt...
shelves of various sorts
from an antique pendulum
to a wooden wrist watch...
that's two feet long with a
candle-lantern hanging on
one end and a dragon fly...
perched on the other to
keep an eye on a raven in
a picture directly above...
facing an opposite wall
clock that appears an oldt
fashioned and oversized...
transparent pocket watch
next to an old style electric
cabinet clock with a built-in...
stereo system of beautiful
sound...

My laptop has replaced my television,
my home telephone and stereo system.
It has also replaced my calculator
and my many volumes of encyclopedias.
No longer do I need a dictionary.
The Internet has made obsolete my local library.
I no longer have any need for postal mail.
I now send and receive only emails.
The only service that my laptop hasn't replaced
more or less,
is UPS and Federal Express.
