modern tools are great, use them very wisely

 

Email, a modern wonder of the day!
New friendships formed, able to keep
in touch with family and friends, it
happened so fast, the
wonder of technology has done it again!
As long as you’re cordial with your electric pen
the marvel of the new world is at your hands. You
can send pictures of family, friends, little cartoons
and jokes, it never ends.
Never once did you think that this could
be an evil tool.   You write things better left
unsaid when you are in a dark mood.
But at times you get careless, and you’ve
written something never meant to be read,
when all of a sudden, you’ve hit that little
button “send”
Depending on what your evil keyboard has done
you could easily hurt the ones you love. In a
second, you realize with fear, in innocent
eyes you’ve just placed a tear.
Technology is grand but must be used wisely,
and take care of the evil it can spread. It can end
friendship, tear families apart. And all because
of carelessly pushing that evil button “send”

Ain't it the truth. My evil keyboard gets me in trouble now and then. Bad Keyboard. Baaaaadd keyboard. It just flips me the middle key and then snickers. Nicely done. Patrick

So true. Just like conversation, an unkind word can lead to years of distrust. It's hard to take it back.

In my brother's case, a simple click picture of something he saw on his cell phone has caused his reputation and marriage in jeopardy.

You've done it again -- turned your poem into a story with a moral -- be wary of the send button -- think before you send! You painted a great picture with your words. Susan

How so very true.

Very relevant and you wrote it so well in these lines.
I wish our server was more efficient and the "Send"
button really sends, as it takes forever to send and post,
like now.

Hi Mary, Wise words indeed for how much easier and dangerous it is to say something and not be able to take it back. Always be safe, in word and deed...

Very wise and very true, it takes only a second to press that send or post button but once gone it can never be taken back once someone reads it.
