Some Pro's and Con's of being Virtually Connected to Reality.

Some Pro's and Con's of being Virtually Connected to Reality.

Dune not be bashful, grumpy, leery 
   or any other contemporary dwarf man
even countless less well known dwarves 
   (that never got a chance 
   to play a bit part) such as wham

bam
thank you ma'am 
linkedin with emergence 
   of Internet and poetry slam
opportunities availed by Uncle Sam

which characters (albeit fiction) 
   nonetheless, helped spawn a quiet yet free 
   global, radically riotous, 
   totally tubular transformation 
   affecting a societal and human specie
 
but not credited contributing 
   to paradigm seismic shift that garnered tree
mend us plenti fully birthed, 
   impacted and transformed how wii

(more particularly many gifted minds) 
   bridged geographical distance 
(encompassing all four corners 
   of the Earth) to enhance

what came to be called the world wide web, 
   digital strong armed lance
information super high,  "Cyber Revolution", 
   etc allowing  one to prance

and essentially transcend reality to brook
   commanding, commingling, communicating, hook
   line and sinker, et cetera 
   with an excellent access and out look
reaching the most distant cranny and nook.

This (bit a bing chitty bang) 
   manifestation toward 
exponentially faster processing capacities 
   more powerful than pen or sword
(based on principles of Moore’s Law), reward
electronically solidifying 
   binary unification swiftly tail lord

engenders greater dependence and reliance 
   figuratively shrinking the drinking gourd
allowing far flung aliens, family, 
   friends, et cetera to ford

great distances via sophisticated electronics 
   courtesy of super smart mother board
enabling ever more complex 
   electronic contrivances 
   the generic Homo Sapien gibbon could afford.
 
Analogous to Medieval Age
this quiet pussy riot creation 
   vis a vis Internet did un cage
actual overcoming physical barriers 
   ushered Hall mark gauge
marked by Computer/Digital Age odyssey),

   especially sharing pixillated page
at light speed, where the ordinary individual 
   could keep in contact ) 
   albeit with every now and again 
   a bit torrent rage

and in some instances tapping 
   smarts of a preschooler considered a sage
which kindergarten lad/lass 
   commandeered a handsome wage

whereat the parental figure did cajole, wheedle or beg
their wealthy progeny promising 
   son/ daughter of a healthy nest egg
stored money in Swiss bank accounts or hollow leg
perhaps christened jpeg
or if an avid weekly reader of Moby Dick Queequeg

who felt incorporeal storied power 
   of Herman Melville as zen unseen aid 
instructing hypothetic rich kid to drop out of school 
   before his/her first grade
coz of all the money he/she made

which affected modus operandi rendered obsolete 
   child worker laws 
   and no sweat of brow getting paid
people used bitcoin (or other online currency) 
   additionally making purchases 
   with scant keystrokes to complete a trade.

As with any major dramatically novel scheme 
light bulb idea scribbled on napkin 
   scrap of paper 
   via cheesy or whipped cream
originating as a flash in the pan 
   aha eureka moment, or dream

as rough blue print subsequently 
   underwent beta testing, 
   before declaring pc innovation supreme 
whereby outstanding persons in the tech industry 
   clamored to join Kidde team. 

Whether seventh day add vent 
   hissed or other religious creed
powerful binary processing 
   impacted near 
   earth shaking incarnation indeed 
and ramifications in all walks 
   and talks of life sought expert need.

Coven chanting children murmured Luddites be damned! 

Thus spake Zarathustra (cue the opening scene 
from Planet of the Apes) 
   upon witnessing as if king or queen 
(in reality father or mother) 
   didst get immediately 

   dethroned thus, increasing mean
average positive 
   effects on society, especially lean 
microchip i.e. integrated circuitry 

   miniaturization "green"
technology (and eventual 
   attendant affordable price) 
   viz said trappings 

   unleashed upon global market 
   invited absolute zero dust, a must clean
as a whistle work space, 
   and manufacturers laboratory be microbe free
   hermetically sealed vacuumed "clean". 

Countless portable machines 
   unbeknownst soon epithet florid hack
   coining impromptu called cyber crime 
especially as majority proportion of population 
   didst purchase these dime, 

a doze in countless "end users" 
   snapped up these smart machines 
   excitedly keyed away indifferent to gunk
on unwashed hands 
   plus bits of food particles 

   eventually caking hardware with grime 
(eventually necessitating technician 
   charging gobs of moolah 
   sans to unstitch in time.

Gooey glop getting suctioned out 
   technicians venting expletives 
   emphasized obvious 
   NO FOOD OR DRINK rule to abide 
cuz suctioning tower 

   or laptop presented vulnerability
   plus unforeseen downfall against fried
food and greasy hands ended up hide
ding in hardest to reach locale

   on circuit board no matter how expert pried 
yelling out gratitude 
   to geek squad member helping 
   before he/she went out side door

eagerly awaiting 
   remotely controlled self driving vehicle
   transporting techie guru home
   to an obscure gated destination, 
   an uninterrupted distant, yet pleasant ride.

eventually amateurs encouraged 
   to tinker like an apprenticed tailor 
   akin as raw troubleshooting recruit 
   oft playfully feigned to be soldier spy 

 pretending to repair bowel of computer 
   when in truth visiting supposed shadowing dark side
   which lined illegal benefits of labor saving devices), 
the sound of silence 
(written on the subway walls) 

though heretics opposing 
   latest technology and felt sinister chill
(just ask Punxsutawney Phil), 
the Internet ranks as greatest dog sent rill

lee where wiz kids ranked 
   chatting killer apps with grateful dead
   information superhighway as heavenly manna 
   with artificial intelligence street cred
since introduction of white bread 
and powdered milk biscuits baked by Ahmed.
