Poem About Technology
Technology
TV at your fingertips
Movies on demand
Simple yet complex
Only few understand
Communicate in many ways
While hiding behind a screen
The purpose of connecting
Remaining to be seen
Searches solving problems
By using others advice
Crippled if no Internet
Because it’s a chosen vice
Cars are now computers
Difficult to maintain
Keeping up with technology
Can drive a man insane
Every action “social”
Shared with all online
Posted for our friends
And strangers all the time
Designed to add convenience
It makes life more complex
No one really sure
What will be the effects?
Author's notes
I am not one to shy away from technology. In fact I used to be a store manager for RadioShack. But I often wonder if technology is actually improving our quality of life or if it is complicating it.
Is technology improving our lives?
