Then And Now

Twitter then meant the chirping of birds and now it’s the instant exchanging of words. Mouse then referred to a cat’s prey but it’s got to do with a computer today. Text then was used as a noun and now as a verb by everyone. Chatting then meant talking face to face and now it is - communicating without a face. Virus then meant only a germ and now it’s a computer-related term. Vaccine then was given only to mortals like you and me and now it is given to computers routinely. Technology then had prefix none and now nano- is not just one. These are just a handful of the thens and nows There must be many more to raise your eyebrows. I find myself trapped between the then and now Oh Lord! Can you please rescue me somehow? 14 June 2010 1: 30 pm
