TECHNO


from the ABC set TECHNOPHOBES, LUDITES AND THE MODERN WORLD

BRIGHT SPARK

If we didn't have electricity
All right
We would all be watching TV
By candlelight

YOUR ERROR

An error message is
A meaningless sentence
Or possibly a phrase
Similar in relevance
To rap song lyrics
And makes as much sense

UNFAIR CONDITIONING

An air conditioning unit
Renders a computer room unfit
For the humans that enter it

CURSOR

A cursor is not an it
But they are personages
Some one who swears
At error messages

I’M SO BAUD

The baud rate is simply
Computer terminology per se
Which is a measure of how soon
You get bored pressing buttons all day

WHEN THE EXCREMENT HITS THE AIR CONDITIONING

When the shit hits the fan
You will discover finally
Your worst fears are realized
As it won’t be distributed evenly
