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
