...danged computer! LOL


Poem Artwork

time s l o w s down until
you get on the computer --
suddenly, you look

up to discover
days passed without you being
cognizant of them.

where did yesterday
go?  wasn't it here last week?
you can't remember

where it went, only
that it was here -- and you missed
it.  that's when you know

it's time to shut things
down and get back to life -- who
knew you could get lost

in the twilight zone
of cyberspace?  portals that
suck you into an

addictive world can
be hazardous to your health --
believe me.  i know.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (3/18)

Oh yeah Karla, but ain't it fun!;-)What else you got to do that's better? I don't find life in what we call the "real" world being too friendly today! In fact I'm sick of our dysfunctional society! So enjoy the den while we can!;-)

I hate to admit it but you are so right and I am guilty of getting lost in those same cyber corriders that seem sometimes safer than the reality of real life.

A computer is a library, a communication device, a television, a radio and game station all rolled into one. I think that they need to make a computer that can be worn like a pair of bifocal glasses with a small wrist pad (mouse/keyboard) so we can go about our routines and use our computers at the same time. The biggest objection I have to computers is the hours spent sitting on my butt, indoors, to use them. Lots of good info here, Karla.
Take care,
Sherry

Addictions come in all forms. There's alcohol, drugs, computers and love. When we combine computers with love, like cyber space, there's so much put on fold then.Is it really worth it?
Great wisdom in this pen.
