A Cautionary Tech

We live in the times of the technical progress,

With gadgets for every occasion and purpose.

We get our news from the Instagram feed,

We pick up iPhone for something to read.

iPhone is our companion and pal,

Delivered by drone and paid by PayPal.

Alexa and Siri keep talking to us,

We text to each other when riding school bus.

We play on Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation

We use GPS to arrive at gas station,

We order a meal from DoorDash at lunchtime,

We watch shows on Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Soon all these devices will be replaced,

With newer and shinier gizmos embraced -

The cars that self-drive and the flips that can flop,

The progress of tech is the one you can’t stop.

The future looks bright, toys so awesome and clever,

Enjoyment for all, all the time, and forever.

But one thing that bothers me with this direction -

Are we out-dating a human connection?
