Doctor Grandma

Do we need to buy the book?

Will you post your power point?

Will you tell us all that we need to know?

Is learning to be tweeted

in small sound bites,

fed to us one phrase at a time,

Science as statuses

to be read daily.

Hit “like” or delete

and maybe reply.

I really wonder sometimes

what will happen

to thinking and pondering in solitude,

when new thoughts come in

and new ideas emerge

after reading an entire BOOK.

Too much information

is overload . . .

(I don’t need to know

what you had for dinner,

unless we are eating, face to face),

Too little information

is ignorance . . .

(of history, memory,

of culture, creativity).

Read for yourself, Decide what you think,

Who you agree with, or not,

Educate yourself,

then form an opinion,

Read all you can

and then more,

and then more.
