This is something I wrote it's in no way serious and like everyone, I love the technology we have but hate the constant updates I feel like they happen every ten minutes (exaggeration I know.) but I hope you are able to have a laugh at what life to me seems to be, becoming :D
Updates
by Freya Anastasia Hatfield
Life is full of updates and new versions
I just turned on my laptop
when I got bombarded with
Viber updates and new software versions
I didn't ask for this
I didn't ask for a start-up to take my time up
I get my tablet
15 notifications
10 file cleanups
4.61gb junk gone
life is full of invisible trash
an online bin full of invisible junk
the updates
the apps
the things we use day today
I can't use my phone without hearing dinging constantly
the constant reminders
don't forget in a day another new update
I turn my phone on silent
finally no more constant reminders
no more you need to sign-ups
we've become addicted to needing to know the latest news
we need to hear the latest celeb goss before its a day old
it's like it was out ten years ago,
thirteen-year-olds are now like twenty-year-olds
to them, I'm practically like a grandparent,
when did the ages change I don't think that meme made it to the over eighteens.
Memes have become a social status
the best one you post the more followers, subscribers and likes you get
it's become filters on photos no more original beauty
that's apparently not good enough
we now have more apps
make a boyfriend
make a girlfriend
create your perfect family,
people no longer talk face to face
it's a screen with pictures of someone you'll never meet
apps for dating but dates you never go on
you wanna hook up
three years ago that meant meeting up
now it means sex, a one night stand,
a plan to never see each other again
I grab a stylist it needs updating
I go for a pen the ink flows perfectly
I still use my laptop to write
simply for the quickness
and the delete button
I'd take a pen any day
if only I could erase some of the things that we say
there's just one thing in all of this madness
that I don't get
if the old isn't broken
why be done with it
when the new is already done with you!
As always thank you for reading I hope you are all having a lovely day where ever you are, it is currently cracking the flags where I am.
love always Thinking out loud xx :D
