Cell Phones

January 11

I am thankful for cell phones. They make communication more accessible and reduce the fear of being stranded somewhere with a flat tire. BUT, sometimes I have wanted to turn my phone off and leave it at home as they can be annoying a times. Of late, I think we can become slaves to this technology. But they are so nice to have when you need a quick answer to a question, check the weather, check a map, or text a quick hello to a friend.

I call this photo Modern Love. I am afraid that sometimes our great access to communication has actually reduced our interaction with each other. I wonder if they are texting each other?

cell phones

cell phones can do

so many things

communicate

applicate

surf

oh the pleasures they bring

and we can text

and various other intents

and chat

to our hearts’ contents

oh what a wonderful day

when cell phones will have their way

control our interactions

and attractions

take our attention

away from distraction

and we will not need

to be with others

when we can speak our minds

in tweets up to 140 character lines

what more could anyone have to say

we need only

power up

every day.
