I loved this. Technology really is replacing human interaction with computers, and social networking sites have become our main form of communication. The Internet has a really strong hold on this generation and there is just no such thing as privacy anymore. Awesome poem.

i really liked this it shows how though evolution we as humans have become physically weaker but our brains have grown to replace the loss of muscle. If you think about how physically strong cavemen were and compare that to how we are now you can see a great difference. Cavemen were able to take down sabertooth tigers with there bare hands and now we don’t have the capacity to even do that. And as technology progress we keep losing that personal human touch we just create something to do all the human interface for us.
