MEDIA MASSAGE MEDIATED

We change and are changed by our means of communicating-
semaphore and telegram obsolete,TWITTER and FACEBOOK universal
Once the telegraph pole across prairies,and Morse code tapping
linked intimates over distance
Stock Market ticker tape clicking out news and profits
We leap where inventiveness allows purchase
Hold tools as tiny as silicon chips
in our hands-iphone me!Texting changes spelng
George Bernard Shaw left his will that English be phonetic
Digital children(unaware of their heritage)chat rooms
We do not write.We do NOT write letters
This bankrupts Post Offices and makes million emails
Whether we adapt to/adopt ibooks/KINDLE
their existence changes bookstores forever!
BORDERS probably sells more coffee than books
like popcorn theaters where films for children flash.
And have you been to coffeeshops,where earphones isolate
laptop dancers in cocoon bubbles of WIFI ?
Our sense of time has changed-instant no longer quick enough!
Pity the poor dialup in a DSL world! To be unWIRED is to be isolated
FLIKR pix,FACEBOOK eclipses both blogs and MYSPACE
Changes compound ,compulsory as fashion.
Lines outside APPLE for the latest version.
Whole websites dedicated to the technologies of communication.
Luddittes ,Beware! Hiding from invention does not change its impact!
Books mutate into airport novellas and vampire fiction
Crime and cooking fill thin aisles .Encyclopaedias replaced by GOOGLE
Soon we will stare @hardcovers like Gutenberg Bible Museums
Wax nostalgic about handmade paper and stitched covers
Desktop printing replaced by YOUTUBE videos
live! from Teheran,BP spills,Turkish Gaza airships
Adaptation marks the growth of continuing consciousness
Soon copyright will only be for lawyers.Words =contracts.
Monetizing the prime concern of FREE apps.
We cannot go back.Shapes and forms of phones have changed as we have
from cord to less,large to slim.Dieting technology.
Mutation makes us .What happens next will change us again
Half human ,half robocalls!Terminators?or Iron Men?
Get with the program,droids and drones!
Universal surveillance means-you are never alone...
