Oh Modern Technology, how I love you.
Today, I can sit with my beloved wife in the family room
watching cooking shows.

Yet I am watching Babylon 5 on streaming media.

While I’m exiled to the front porch with my cigar,
you let me log into my office and find the missing
program that the Data Operations Group in Tulsa lost.

My friend in Israel, it seems like you’re next to me as we Skype away.

“Nerd”, those who just don’t understand scoff at me.

Yet, I enjoy life and time with the family. Do I truly wish to speak with the cheerleader moms while my daughter is in gymnastics class?

No. I’m earning side money while you jabber on about why your little ones should be captain next semester.

Hey look, a video from 1983! Thank you YouTube. Think I’ll download it and burn it to a DVD.

Damn! I’ve drawn a blank. What was that hottie that played opposite Mathew Broderick in The Freshman? Click, click, thank you IMDB.

Click click. I now have the formula for converting Farenheit to Celsius. Click click. Really? Farragut said, “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead?”

Four sources for a research paper due Monday. Why I used to have to bicycle down to the library for that.

Was it only ten short years ago that the chirp of the modem handshake let me only check email as I wrote and sent resumes? You’ve grown so much.

You, Modern Technology are beautiful. Like those naughty pictures I can find on image searches.

I love you.
