Too Much Tech

The more I live the less I know Forever knowledge all around me grows I can’t keep up with the latest tech I just give up and say what the heck A simple thing like an abacus Was once the standard for all of us Then it was replaced by the slide rule Just something to make me the fool Pencil and paper, carry the one That’s how we got calculations done And if in the middle you broke the lead The math was simple to do in your head Now I need a spreadsheet app Just to track a simple nap Sleeping once was a luxury Now a connected blanket over me Every point of data logged Wondering who is my secret watchdog I’m always fearful for my privacy Or as a victim of piracy Unplug devices, that’s my rule One that they never taught in school We would be better in ancient times Living today is like a life of crime
