Tech-Time Poem by Claude Simpson

Tech-Time

Rating: 4.5


It's a shuffle of media frenzie
and media hype;
Whether text, audio, photo or video;
whatever the type.

With technology on the move;
TV came on the scene;
The movie-house flourished
and a downturn is yet to be seen.

You would think that Big-screen
Cinema-Movies would be dead
But oh no! TV didn't kill movies or vice-versa;
both survived and kept ahead.

'Snail mail' postal service, wow!
one would think that's the end
But it survived alongside email
with a tab to receive or send.

Now distance, time and space
are 'technology friendly';
Hi-technologies bridge the gap...
'tis hard to distinguish reality.

Virtual or real, a 'tech-deal'
or an ordeal;
Whether social network or media feed;
information is the brain's meal.

Great Terrance, I can identify with your claim but we all have to move with the fast pace technology. If we cannot dance we have to learn. Amen?

After 38 years of being an electronics technician I have mixed emotions about technology. My basic electronics training was of the technology of that day when vacuum tubes were the rage of the very day. I had to upgrade my knowledge of electronics far too many times ranging from vacuum tubes to the technology of the day. I enjoy using modern technology and yet still I feel at what cost. Before Adam was deceived he enjoyed technology that we could not even perceive. Our modern technology is just a poor representation of what was lost in God's garden that is my eulogy. Terrence Tracy
