Technology's
changing so very fast
That trying to keep
up is a pain.
I'd hardly call
myself a Luddite,
But sometimes I feel
left out in the rain.
They come out with
Windows 10
When you've barely
learned Windows 8.
Every time I open a
program
It seems as though
there's a new update.
Then you're back to
square one again.
Good luck learning
the fancy new features.
If you get stuck,
don't hesitate
To find some kids to
serve as your teachers.
It’s amazing how
kids at such a young age
Are already showing
familiarity
With swiping,
sliding, and tapping their fingers
On touch screens AND
with great dexterity.
You can't just have
a phone these days;
It has to be a smart
phone, you see.
How we ever survived
in the past
With our
not-so-smart phones is way beyond me.
With smart phones
you can lock your doors,
Turn on the air or
adjust the heat.
Having a phone just
to make calls
In this day and age
would be obsolete.
Try to find a simple
clock radio
Or a simple phone
without any frills.
Young people don't
know what it's like
To need postage
stamps to pay their bills.
Practically
everything needs recharging--
Laptops, tablets,
cameras, phones.
Our cars now operate
by computers;
Without technology
we wouldn't have drones.
Recharging batteries
all the time
Is NOT as handy as
it looks.
That's why I usually
prefer
My good
old-fashioned paper books.
