The advances in technology are amazing and have enhanced our world in a myriad of ways. It has also ruined countless families and the deep connections they once shared. Texting across rooms has become the new normal and the closeness once experienced for many is now endangered. The following piece ‘What has our world become?’ is one I have shared on the amazing writing community She Writes.
What has our world become?
We live in a world full of hate and violence
Where kindness and love used to rule
Sunday suppers with family were the norm
Now it’s grab and dash, eat on the run.
We’ve attached ourselves to technology
Detached ourselves from each other
Families text each other from across the room
Eye contact and conversation are minimal at best.
Outdoor play ruled over Xbox games
We came home when it got dark
Or when street lights came on
Now we’re a nation of zombie kids
What has our world become?
