The language of today
Strange vehicles of fame
Ten thousand re-tweets
Eighty blogs, no comments
Viral is good
Followers and friends of nothing
Add up
A few YouTube minutes
Shoot you to stardom
There is fluff in the clouds
The résumé is measured
Not in achievement
But in manipulation
Of others’ thoughts
Careers often lost not gained
Through short missives
Sent without control
Real neural networks
Lead to brain power
Impaired internetworks
Take away that power
To think for oneself
Substituting garbage for wisdom
