Channels ~ A Poem by Shel Silverstein

Channels

Shel Silverstein

Channel 1’s no fun.
Channel 2’s just news.
Channel 3’s hard to see.
Channel 4 is just a bore.
Channel 5 is all jive.
Channel 6 needs to be fixed.
Channel 7 and Channel 8-
Just old movies, not so great.
Channel 9’s a waste of time.
Channel 10 is off, my child.
Wouldn’t you like to talk a while?

Today’s Thought: Living in the Digital Age

My go to market just began using Apple pay. I was happy. All I now need is my wallet and on my iPhone. I rarely use cash. We are living in the digital age. The era that preceded the digital was the information age. Prior to the information age was the industrial age. Some folks believe things were better in one of the previous ages. They fail to understand that every age has its set of challenges. No age is better or worse than any other. What matters is how we adapt to our changing circumstances and address the challenges unique to our age. Those who yearn for the “good old days” miss out on the wonders of the present day”

Something to Think About

It’s the digital age, information and noise hold hands and are ubiquitous. The only thing left out is you and me. When we temporarily stop the flow of information and noise we capture moments for ourselves. Our minds refresh. We gain clarity as our brains sort the information into bins of useful an useless. Think it’s time to unplug for a few moments?
