No Strings world

No strings attached.

Cordless phone,

mobile broadband

Blue Tooth ‘roam’

Wireless mouse and radio too,

cordless Electrolux

convenient for you.

Fun and simple.

Device hands free

for a ‘no strings involved’

society.

Wi- Fi cafe,

no need to attach.

Roaming, Bluetooth,

two devices detached.

‘High speed dating’

‘Adultery.com’

‘Feelingnaughty?’

While you watch your

Relationship

go

wrong.

That’s what you get

when it’s cool to be

a Platinum member

of the

‘no –strings- attached

Society’

***

This poem looks at how in my opinion the wireless design of products reflects the casualty of society. Everything is designed to come away from the wall. It is convenient for the modern day business person. The money –maker who is always on the move. The poem has a cheerful tone; products are made convenient for us, great!  But the dark side is that we are also becoming detached from one another. When we can talk online or through Skype we don’t need to meet each other. It makes it easier to have affairs and people can become reclusive on Face book and Twitter.
