Save Our Children From Technology Poem by Lyn Paul

Save Our Children From Technology

Rating: 4.9


Save Our Children
From Technology
They are totally addicted
To Technology
It appears to be
Priority

Just so young
A child is handed
A phone
To keep it amused
By Technology

Then it begins
A laptop for school
An ipad for school
Is the teacher teaching?
Or the Technology?

The beeps
The dings
Another message sent

Nothing is completed
Stuff just hidden away
Having to be reminded
Again, Another day

Relaxation
A book
Simply just living
All stolen
By Technology

Can it get better
Or will it get worse
Technology...
Amazing
But
Is it really a curse

We all love it
Cannot live without it
But, what is...
Technology
Doing to Society?

You have asked very nice question and observed the children properly at school. Now a days technology has stolen books and many emotions of children. Powerful writing. Message is there for society.10.

The title would catch my attention anyday. Tech has disadvantages indeed esp the cellphone radiation is cancer causing esp in young kids. Tech is always replacing the human touch and presence, machinizing evryting, roboticizing humans which is harmful. So yor poem is a hardhitting masterpiece, one of your best tour de forces! Tc.

Is technology a boon or a curse to our children.....? This is a serious question worth pondering over! Of course it is a boon and we cannot do away with computers or lap tops and mobile phones! But when Technology becomes an obsession, it becomes a curse! Our children are sadly alienated from the real world and its problems. They live in a virtual world morbidly estranged from their fellow beings! A great write Lyn!

Hi Emma. No I do not have any article and I wrote this poem as my daughter was on her IPAD far too much it was stopping her homework and outdoor activities. We are blessed by the many forms of technology available particularly through the Covid 19. I couldn't live without it. All the best to you.

That is a fair question to ask. Technology has changed society radically, but we are free to reject it. Luckily I don't have the problem of children excessively using smartphones, tablets, computers, and all the rest. I find ordinary books much better than e-books.
