Technology Goes Marching On

TTTO “Lifa Ha’Eglon” by Arik Einstein

When I was young, the cells and phones

Were seperate and quite alone

But now they have been so combined, you see

So people call when on the road

And not just in their own abode

In constant touch, these people tend to be

[Chorus]

Technology goes marching on

There’s so much new beneath the sun

And we’re upgrading without fail

Oh, hey, you there, you have got mail

So now we surf the web, world wide

Where from the news we cannot hide

With RSS and blogs and instant news

We have search engines, wikis too

To learn so much more than we knew

Of people strange and stranger still their views

[Chorus]

So chips grow smaller, faster still

They don’t stop, and we doubt they will

So laptops are so cheap and yet so light

We find the wi-fi when we need

A blog to write or one to read

We update, chat and write into the night

[Chorus]

The future, friends, is coming soon

It’s not that bad, it is a boon

And yet we still do not have cars that fly

And paper still has stayed right here

Although I think the time is near

For paper to wave off and say good-bye

[Chorus]
