Tablet: Not Of Paper ...[ Wireless Technology; Bri's Frustration; Personal; Short, I Think]

Rating: 5.0


Do kids, in school still use pencils?
Are there still stiff paper stencils?

Public computers came long after my birth, &...
for seeking wife 4, some proved their worth,
but just barely, and STILL I may wonder now:
'Do computers these days deserve to take a bow? '

Have they caused more 'trouble' than 'good'?
To answer that question, I'm not sure we SHOULD....
try.

After all, they seem to be EVERYWHERE to stay,
'helping' humans while we work and while we play.

Besides, there is probably no 'program' big enough...
to give a reliable answer [one that is 'up to snuff'].

I MEANT to lament my 'forced use', for now, of a tablet.
Of course I don't 'have to'. But I take what I can get.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Yes, a computer tablet is small and 'cheap'. But I have found this one unreliable often. Also it plays havoc with my typing/spelling;
I have to be 'on top of' what shows up on its screen in order to
avoid misunderstandings and 'embarassment'!

I feel sorry for people who 'have to' use one regularly!
BUT don't try taking it away while I am kept from a PC!

Change of spelling and words is the most annoying and accessive use though convenient can cause many other troubles too.

A clever write as usual about the mundane which you always make interesting are the perils of taking the tablet from Bri hands However I must mention a friend of mine who at Christmas asked her daughter what she'd bought, oh, was the reply some tablets for the kids. Why? was the concerned reply the daughter then laughingly and somewhat condeceningly replied not that sot of tablet mama, producing three Kindle Fires, blushes all round any way back to you poem and the pitfalls of modern life and our computer age, can't live with em but you can't live with out em great read thanks Andy
