What a Difference Fifty Years Makes

In the old days we’d write on black slate
That would screech as the chalk scratched the plate
Or pop with each pound.
Now my mouse moves around
And my tablet sounds better than great.

I enjoy walking, poetry and short prose as well as taking pictures with my phone.

  2. Very nice. I miss writing by hand. I had such a fantastic writing once, even learnt calligraphy. But once my fingers found the pleasure of typing, writing seems like such a chore. Is technology for the better or worse?

    1. I do find it easier when I’m walking to use a notebook and pen, but then I never learned how to type efficiently with my thumbs on my phone and the stylus is not always accurate. So I rarely use it.
