And the Screen goes Black!

Technology hums along 
Sending and receiving messages and information
Speeding up work with electronic systems and programs
Making colourful busy play literally at many finger tips

Until programs freeze and screens go black
Our spirits freeze, our eyes glaze over, paralysis threatens

Then ~ we must resort to ‘old school ways’
Paper, pencil, telephone - and heaven forbid!  
Face to face talking - real communication with each other - real people
Real board games...real card games

Technology is fascinating and amazing
Technology has enticed us away from living with each other, 
isolating us within our own homes and circles
Technology has offered us so much connection with each other,
connections that were lost when miles were too great
Technology hums along but only at our own whims or needs.

“It has become appallingly obvious that 
our technology has exceeded our humanity.”
~ Albert Einstein
