In a world of one minute decision-making, we have many, many choices that we must make daily in our very complex and over technical world. And, the choices we make, make all the difference.

Image Courtesy Turkish Newspaper Sonsöz Gazetesi Choices Cash or check? Bitcoin or heck, just transfer it to ya. Gas or electric? Diesel or hybrid? Compressed air or a flywheel, will still get you there. Driver or chauffeur? Carpool or not? Moto or bicycle? Driverless debacle? Smart phone or pad? Desktop or screen? Computing is now lost, and apps are supreme. Fly, drive or rail? Read, text or sleep? Forget all the landscape, boredom runs deep. Eat out or cook in? Just heat up your din. Fast food or slow, shows the hurry we're in. Paper or plastic? Fabric bag or plant? One is for convenience, the other one? I can't. Processed or fresh? Veggies or flesh? Freeze it or nuke it? Juice it to blend. Letter, email or text? Twitter it, Snapchat, Skype it, or snail. Telegram or wire it still, Many ways to message mail. Right or left? or down the middle? Voting is our right, that we must not piddle. Our choices grow, by leaps and bounds, the latest fad comes around, like a pack of wild hounds. We always can choose, to hang out in the past. Or jump on the latest fad, for as long as it lasts. Copyright © Ronald W. Hull 5/31/18 You can view this poem my website here.

You had me going to and fro, here to there, back around again. All I know is that the way I picked, would it ever repeat.

Ron or Jerry,
Jane or Murray,
Ed or Rufuz,

But fun writes like this one,
Have me from you over won...:) -e-

You had my head spinning. We have way too many choices. A few hours on the computer and I'm wiped out.

And we're still left with dying and paying taxes. No choice at all.

Bitcoins have no solid value. There's nothing to back it up. It's here one day and could be gone the next. It's not like real currency. Those who believe in it are headed for disasters in their lives.

Regurgitated profusely ! 😻

Many years ago I did a similar piece on AD.
Besides all those choices mentioned, the ole grey matter must make split-second
decisions to Store said data & where?
RAM ... or ROM ?
EPROM ... or EEPROM ?
DUH ?

And, look at the variety of Oreos or potato chips to choose from! We're inundated with choices, but most, for me, are out of sight and out of mind.

You raise some interesting (and enlightening) points here about the inevitably of choices. Chauffeur sounds great; but no I love to drive. Bitcoin makes a mint, but I need cash to survive. Many ways to mail; but I always did love the snail. Enjoyed your posting this week.

We live in a time and place where choice is at our fingertips. We have more choices available to us in one aisle at Wal Mart than some countries have altogether. Well done.

I think I never really consider how many choices I really do have to make. I'll think about it more after reading your poem. Well penned and enjoyed, Ron.

Reviewed by Jerri Blair

A subject that is infinite in possibilities and limited in applicability. Choice is limited by the facticity of the world that surrounds us. I like your examination of the everyday world that surrounds us through the variety of choices that come our way.

Clearly the choices we make reveal part of who we are, as well as impacting certain aspects of our individual futures. Write on... r
