CURMUDGEONLY ODE TO TECHNOLOGY

Back to digital life vs. real life

The spirit of Technology is

calling your home phone

your work phone

your personal cell phone

your work cell phone

It has left messages for you (on all of them)

Technology is calling to tell you to stay connected

Technology is

emailing your work address

your personal address

your alternate personal address (all of them)

Technology is texting you

it’s SMS’ing you

it’s spamming you

it’s Skyping you

it’s IM’ing you

But would technology

use its best penmanship

to write you a letter

and end it with Xs and Os?

NO, but there will be emoticons galore. I found this write so witty and entertaining.

How right you are -- pictograms of how you feel. Easier than using words for some.

[Joyce S. Greene]

No, siree, Bob! Those technology callers are no friends of mine, that's for sure. I wonder how many of them hear the phone slammed down on their ear? This is a very clever poem, rutherford, and I enjoyed it very much.

if you write a letter signed with x's and o's i may not put you on my no call list...

or block you like spam...

there is a chance...
