Very true depiction of how reliant the general worldwide population has become upon technology that we almost let it do our thinking / make our decisions for us.

Thanks for the excellent review and your perspective on the post. I am generally suspicious of technology and how people have come to worship it as a god. People have given up on God and now rely on technology, which is a hollow, flawed, emotionless, logical structure. The more people flock to it, the worse it will get. Look at the explosion of violence in this country and the lack of respect people have come to have for each other. estory
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Personally, I think you should end this poem with the words, "There is nothing left.". I think that better encapsulates your message. There IS a way out - I don't do even half of what you say here and I have deleted social media accounts.
But I get your point and certainly agree with you. Thought provoking read.

Thanks for the sympathetic review and sympathetic outlook on life. But it's probably not the mainstream attitude. Most people go bonkers over technology. I don't even have a cellphone. Fanstory is my big tech platform. And that's about it. estory
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Indifference can destroy us mentally and this is what technology does as our virtual experiences are not real and we escape from real life, we need to wake up and turn off our computers, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Thanks for the excellent review and sympathetic sentiments for my poem. estory
Comment from BethShelby
I get the picture. I don't think I'd care to have my micromanaged by the computer. There days it doesn't do much other than frustrated and add to my already overtaxed life. We're better off thinking for ourselves.

Amen! Thanks for the excellent review and I am glad my little poem was able to convey this theme for you. Thanks for all the support over the years. estory
Comment from Jasmine Girl
Haha. So you are free, and you can sit down and write whole day long but fitbit will remind you that you need to get up and walk around. I guess it's not that easy. But walking is good for you. I do two walks per day at least and I did three today.
Can't change and just embrace it.

Thanks for the excellent review and your perspective on the poem. I don't need a machine to tell me what to do. estory

I don't have a fitbit. My body told me to move and I'm addicted to exercise.
Comment from Jesse James Doty
Yes, it comes across as static with a monotone voice very dull and lifeless.
I read through carefully to not miss anything and what I come away with is frightening and surrealistic! A mechanized world with mechanical robots doing everything they are told by outside influences! A1it has been called, artificial intelligence is another name for it. I am scared out of my wits at the prospect of an autopilot world!
All I know is that I hope we are wrong about this, my friend!
Let's hope so! Well written and true to life!
Thanks for sharing this out-of-the-world experience!

Thanks for the wonderful excellent review and I am glad the piece was so evocative for you. It makes me feel it was in some ways a success. You share my sentiments, my friend. The tech world is not a good place and it will end badly. But so many people are seduced by all the convenience that it is exploding. estory

Yes, I see the tech world as ending badly also.
Have a great weekend,
Jesse
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
So many things are done for us today. So why are we always so busy we don't have time to do anything? I know that's how it is with me anyway. Too much convenience can indeed replace everything you have ever lived for. I like your last statement "No way out" That kinda sums it all up

Thanks for the excellent review and your comments supporting the piece. I thought the last line was very critical to the overall tone of the piece. estory
Comment from Gert sherwood
life controlled by technology
Autopilot
estory
You did well telling us here a fanstory that you got too involved with
technology. estory this part of your poem I like very much, it shows of how you felt empty---
Being on autopilot is so convenient.
There is nothing left to think about.
There is nothing left (and you are empty.

A couple of people liked that ending, so I guess it worked. Thanks for the excellent review and all your support over the years. I must be doing something right...estory
Comment from royowen
Surrounding oneself with loving people is probably the most satisfying thing one can pursue, the things you mention are urgent but not important, I wrote a poem based on the wasteful things in our lives. I love technology it takes the urgent out of my life, I love that my work is stored neatly, not forgotten and gathering dust somewhere. I've been through that experience, I've still got treasure s gathering dust, but I know what you mean, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Well done
Comment from Tina Crute
You illustrate your point well. With many of the verbs beginning your lines, your poem touts the computer technology as a busybody that has taken us hostage to a place where we have little to do. Your delivery methods were successful and this is a time period piece, I think. Well done!
