TECHNO… HELL NO!!<\/p>\n
There is no denying<\/p>\n
somewhere along the line<\/p>\n
I missed something.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With book in hand, I survey the doctor’s waiting room.<\/p>\n
To the left of me, they’re playing games on their phone.<\/p>\n
To the right of me, are texters and sexters,<\/p>\n
moving their fingers rapidly along the keys.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You know, the keyboard, that some of us cannot SEE.<\/p>\n
Outside the room someone is yelling into their phone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I look to see if anyone else is reading a book.<\/p>\n
You know, you remember, the thing that is made of paper.<\/p>\n
Nope, no bookers or magazine readers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I secretly mourn for the paper mills and wonder how long paper will last.<\/p>\n
So I stow it away, fresh reams of paper. My secret.<\/p>\n
I’m embarrassed that the tech world has surpassed my abilities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I can’t tweet on twitter<\/p>\n
or pin at pinterest.<\/p>\n
Face, FaceBook<\/p>\n
or download an app.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m officially a dinosaur<\/p>\n
no techie meckie<\/p>\n
a throwback<\/p>\n
a LOSER.<\/p>\n
