Some 20 to 30 years ago
the Internet exploded into
an infinite system of information.
And I couldn’t think of an I word. 🙂
Available in an instant,
One can know, about life, Science, News,
History, people, me, you.
Some of it, we don’t need to know.
Can we handle it?
Sometimes, no. Sometimes, yes.
Who am I to complain?
I have found details of ancestors
from a scattered family tree
and stories to enrich my life.
Information drives this intelligent age.
Use it to your benefit,
and always maintain balance.
After binging on information,
go outside to clear your head.
It’s better for your health.
Don’t trust me? Google it.
**The AtoZ Challenge theme for my blog is “Who I am.” Yes, it’s wide open. In April, I will blog from A to Z to include little tidbits about me, poems I’ll share, and stories. Each day I will write something based on the next letter in the alphabet. It’s been fun so far, yet it has really given me a chance to pause for reflection as well.
