What About The Changes You Don't See ?
They Happen So Slowly
We have learned to deal with new experiences since the day we were born
Those old bulky baby carriages have become sleek and fashionable
Baby seats a neccessity
Seat belts the law
Bike helmets a good idea
Some changes we notice like when someone paints a room
They are drastic and are soon recognized
Other changes over time may go unnoticed
They happen so gradual only the keenest eye can see
When cell phones came around and soon they would change everything we ever knew
From leaving a message to texting
For now the information age has expanded and now boomed
I for one have been dragging my feet
The use of the computer via myspace,facebook and all those computer games
E-mailing and instant messaging
The world is changing and sometimes we don't notice
We get busy with our own lives and doing the things that we feel we have to do
I remember when beepers were big
I was working on my own business at the time
Feeling the buzz of new technology and see a number light up on a screen
Was something I couldn't explain
I was so excited and thrilled
Now they are only used in restaurants when waiting for a seat or in hospitals among doctors and nurses and their staff
So look around you and see what things you haven't noticed that have changed the world in which we live
G.P,S.'s are so much fun
Map books under my car seat have just become dust collectors and almost antiques
Have you been part of the change or just holding back
I know many years have passed since I was last in school
Almost three decades of fun have passed through my finger tips
I hear most reports or assignments are done on laptops
You have to e-mail the teacher on missed homework assigments
It is a different world even though it is painted the same colors
I hear the whole system of grading in grade school from A,B,C,D, annd F's has changed
They use some number system now
The schools are locked and no one is allowed in or out unless you are checked in like a hotel at the front desk
It is time that I try to comprehend that most changes are here to stay
I have to make the best of them and learn to wecome them with open arms
The end of old records and tapes to cd's
V.c.r tapes to d.v.d's
I remember growing up with a black and white t.v.
Now it is high definition and three d
Now books changing over to the Nook and the Kindle
Are you ready for this ?
What are some of the changes that you have noticed please feel free to share with me
I can't be the only one who feels like they were stunned by a stun gun when I wasn't looking
I have missed out on the mp 3 players to the I-pod revolution
I did take part in the answering machines changing from little tapes to digital
Now
