creating screen-gleam blindness -
Building the future.
This Haiku reflects my ambivalence towards the digital age. I guess you could call me something of a dinosaur, but I think that humans have a tendency to get distracted by their computers and devices in general.
I'm not saying it is true of everyone, but some (and I include myself in this) definitely do get that 'screen-gleam blindness' sometimes, and it can lead to trying to build the future with less than 100% focus.
Having said all of that, I really enjoy many things that I'd be unable to do without my computer. Blogging, gaming and the vast research library that the internet offers are all things I would find it hard to live without.
Obviously, finding a balance between screen-time and real human interaction is the answer. But increasingly more and more distractions seem to be fed to us on a daily basis. My friend’s kids are so addicted to their devices it is like a constant battle to get them to play a board game or go out the park.
I'm not sure when it happened that the things I used to pester my parents to do when I was a kid, have now become the things that a lot of kids consider boring. It is this dichotomy that I was hinting at in this poem.
Thanks for reading.
