I don't know what I am talking about. Might be what this piece of poem reminds me. It's nice.

I'm glad you like it Vilentina. I remember when I was little how sparingly I used computers and cell phones were much less common (now 10-year-old kids even have them). What I was trying to figure out when I wrote this poem is why people (including myself) waste time on them when there are so many other productive and interesting things we could be doing. I understand what you're trying to say, and completely agree. We all need some "machine-free time". Speaking of machine-free time, I really need to go on a back-packing trip this summer.
