creating screen-gleam blindness.
Building the future.
This Haiku reflects my ambivalence towards the digital age. Lol, 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 for my creative writing are all things I would find it hard to live without.
This is day twenty three of my month long challenge - from the 06th of August until the 06th of September - to post a daily Haiku on steem. Each week will have a different theme based on picture prompts from either Pixabay.com or Unsplash.com. This week's broad theme is technology.
I have created a new tag #monthofhaiku. If anyone wants to replicate the challenge please feel free, I will check the tag occasionally and try to curate the better Haiku. However, this is not meant to be a challenge to the writers' community. I am away in Yorkshire from today for 10 days with no access to a computer and limited internet. Please, forgive me if I'm slow to respond to comments, as I will only be checking my phone (and partiko) occasionally while away. This weeks Haiku are being published via @steempeak using their fantastic scheduling feature.
