No more mashed potatoes
And no more toothbrushes
Bluetooth needs none
No more baby stories
No more bible stories
Google needs no nun
No more advice
No more problems
See them on Facebook wall
Need more space
As Bebo and Wayne have
Get it on Myspace
No more baby stuff
No more baby pads
They are worth an iPad
Follow not the Twistie’s crunch
Follow the tweets on Twitter
And get 100 pins on Pinterest
Tune no more strings
Sing me no songs
The iTunes playlist is on
No more libraries
No more encyclopedias
Wikipedia is on the palm
Rely not on stars
Ocean currents or wind
Get a Global Positioning System
Call no more citizens
Connect all the netizens
And create a virtual forum
No more motorways
No more pedestrians
Clock it on the digital highway
No more landlines
Life’s good with touch pads
All in the galaxy of digital cells
Go to mum and dad’s world
PG ratings not anymore
Just a phone to the porn world
This is our world; media babies
Cheers guys and thanks for the comments. This poem is a dedication to our sons and daughters of today's digital generation and especially to the little babies who are born into this new world of rapid development in travel and communication.

How true...and it can be very confusing sometimes.

The mind creates it, the mind talks about it. The mind shows it. The mind is everything, it is the image of God.
