More technology has us connected to the world, less privacy we have. Paradoxally, we are more isolated from other people, instead of connected. What point has progress gone too far, in respects to our privacy? This is a question, which philosophers will be debating for the coming centuries. Assuming that we are able to survive that long without killing ourselves off first. Thank you for sharing this thought provoking poem with us.

I like this. I thought this poem really says a lot about how progress takes the old and slowly we have to change all in the name of progress. Great poem.

Awesome Awesome Awesome write... I often wonder about the pro's and con's of technology... I myself have gotten to the point of being more myself online than I am in real life and that scares me but I don't figure I am the only person who feels that way... Really amazing thought provoking write!

Nice write here,
good form and words used, really conveys that 'progress'
'Phones
Internet
Progress
Left us alone'
that has led to the loss of personal touch and comm.

Yea, we can reach around the world, but yet we, in the end, still stand alone. Very alone. Great work here. Bravo!
