The computer world to me is arcane
However, at my age, am I to blame?
I spent many hours learning shorthand and and typing
But now it is useless, everyone’s Skyping!
Penmanship was important, graded as such
Now everyone just texts, real words not so much
All the shortcuts and acronyms reign
Emojis giving inferences insane
I think I’m just an old sister
Who prefers an old fashioned vista.

I love your poem. I wonder, if I hadn’t dived in back in the 80s, would I be able to cope with it now? And still most of the acronyms defeat me

I did shorthand/typing as a Secretary, and still put my fingers on the home keys.
