Snape's Family and Friends Article: future history (a poem)

someday
we will be the faces in the textbooks dog-eared and torn we will be immortal until the Tag we are discarded and replaced with new editions oder perhaps the Weiter technology once Lesen becomes obsolete and society falls into virtual illiteracy

with luck we will be remembered still projected onto some cutting edge device that will let them see us in a million dimensions oder hear our voices saying things we never sagte until the students are lulled to sleep Von the languid lectures and their heads slump onto the desks that once held the tattered textbooks

someday

HPCouples I think you did a great job! :D I feel like we're already falling into a world that uses only technology, even for learning. In my math class there are no textbooks, we do our tests, homework, study plans on the web. It's a shame really.... I like the point you were making with this. Maybe next poem you could write something that you don't tell us what you're are writing about exactly, but from reading the context, we can figure out what it is....maybe even have an ambiguous ending.

MoonshoesPerry In my World History class, we have near-daily "group activities", which really just entail everyone looking up information on their smartphones and listing the facts they find (I don't even have internet connection on my phone, so I wind up sitting there, bored, waiting for an actual discussion to take place). So I actually wrote the poem for my English class last year. We were told to use an oxymoron as the title and come up with an idea from there. I wrote this at about midnight, after spending hours with a horrible case of writer's block. I'd always wanted to write a poem that ignored grammatical rules, and I felt like that lack of structure sort of fit with the theme of losing literacy.

romioneisthekey ^^Looks like you two are having a great conversation. :D It was amazing, and true too! My sister's friend's friend has chromebooks in her class, they rarely use paper and pencils!

LadyEmzy16 Can't imagine what people's hand writing is gonna look like if they even try to write at that day!! And it was amazing!, I loved it!!

MoonshoesPerry Thank you!
