Technology Manifesto (In Two Parts)



Technophobia 

Always creating newer, more exciting shiny gadgets
Affording people more and more ways to waste their time
Profiting from people’s desire to have the latest thing
All the while blinding them to the underlying fact
That time is their most precious commodity




Attention People! 

You can’t see everything
and can’t know everything
You’re going to miss a lot
through no fault of your own
The world is big
The world is huge
There are trillions of people
and most don’t know you

Time keeps on going
Time keeps on rolling
Ever forward, never backward
Today is Tomorrow’s Yesterday

So see what you can
and know what you can
Don’t worry about what you miss
through no fault of your own

You may put in your 2¢ worth, but I'll only pay you a penny for your thoughts.
