Obsolescense
Something Old is Just Something Old!
As we grew up
New things came about
Our wish lists grew
And we'd yell; "Far Out!"
Our 8-tracks got replaced
Vinyl wouldn't play
Our Nehi was succeeded by
A drink called Chardonnay!
If we lost our precious skate key
We could always make a scooter
With a milk box and a piece of wood
Never heard of a computer!
So what's in store
What lies ahead
Will my iPod still play
My favorite Grateful Dead?
Will cell phones have
A million and one Apps
Or become passe'
Like paper road maps?

Post a CommentI often wonder about the same thing which is why we won't be buying an iPad or iPod soon.
Way too many things will become obsolescent before I even buy them!
Well done!
Excellent - a fun read!
I really enjoyed this one!
Very good one!
Excellent food for thought. Well done, thanks!
I find myself thinking the same things sometimes...
I find myself lost with all the new stuff coming out , plus the fact it will soon be replaced by something else next week.
You touched upon many things with which I am familiar;) The portable cell/computer devices will be around for the foreseeable future, with far higher speeds and capabilities to follow. I would trade all these devices for the chance to spend a few days back in the quiet mountains with my grandmother though...an easy "sacrifice".
