Wires, Wireless

Wires carry important things
Power, data, voices, the web
They send messages and email
Secrets, scandal and mystery you find upon them.
Good and bad news too.
Wires are a very interesting thing.

The future moves ahead and there are less wires
People are cutting the cord
You can get the secrets, scandal and other stuff now.
Text messages, tweets, video, photos and yes even voices.

Electrical pulses, high voltage, above your head, below your feet.
You can’t cool things down or head things up
Wires are still necessary in the day we live

Even though wireless is creeping ahead.
Poles with wires are still around.

A Short Commentary on Technology

We all have a love/hate relationship with technology. Its to the point where many, me included, can’t do without it. In some ways its making us smarter but other ways kind of dumber. Perhaps its the seduction of a glowing screen and all the things it can do to supposedly make our lives better. I used to call a cell phone a electronic ball and chain for good reason and now I feel the weight of it because I can’t go anywhere without it. We have lived in the wired and now the wireless age and we are more connected in some ways but very disconnected in others. Technology is our friend and our foe at the same time.

Funny how all of it works for good and bad. We all wait for the latest devices that does the latest and greatest stuff only to see it bettered by new release. What will we see in the future in the next killer apps on the information superhighway? Only the future and people working on silicon valley and in other places know.
