Introduction/Definition/etc

 

Corralary (sp?)/side effect

to the Digital Divide

 

 

Body

 

Original Text

 

So i've been pushing old face to face

meetings that went to Zoom/Online

to go to HyBrid/Blended meetings,

which may have the best of both worlds,

an online component to a

studio audience (members on camera

in church/etc)

 

Others are more detached/

going OnPerson

and laving Zoom people to Zoom,

they may be remote, returning

graduates, i call them,

in programs that you never really

finish, perpetual students,

needing to be reminded daily,

if not more often that there is a problem,

and you're it...

 

So part of bull dozing people into

the Change, is working on the tech

in churches, which many are not

very technical, some may not even

have internet, wifi, something

Millenials can't even comprehend,

well, early adopters,

grey haired/ if have hair at all,

may see as different.

 

Fast forward on that path,

and some peopl e are likely

being left behind and pushed

into the information super highway

ditch, in a time of ConVid-19

basically mass graves

like the IRL counterparts,

separated but not equal...

 

here's a scenario

which may be true, idk,

i can't see the other side of it,

it's kind of a blind spot,

as mass action happens,

the effects of it take a while

to turn up, if ever...

We push it under the rug,

sort of the analogy,

 

So imagine a non technical

person, pushed towards technology,

you see you need a machine,

(Those dehumanizing ones

horror films go on about,

killing machines, insensitive

impersonal, something to rebel

against, like there aren't enough

already)

You need one, you've held out

saying you'd never get a VHS,

Beta, camcorder, cell phone,

smart phone, data plan,

home automation,

and become a pod,

some Metro$exual that

uses the latest technology,

or nay at all, a Luddhite,

and spell check goes with that too...

Hold out for a caring person to person

world where we meet in person,

some telephone, one ringie dingie

two ringie dingie, trying for an operator,

an actual human being not a telephone

tree, push 1 for help,

2 for a human being,

your wait time/ hold time is 30 minutes,

while muzak plays until you screen

like NetWork, the Movie...

Screaming out the window,

"I'm mad as hell, and not going to Take it

anymore..."

(think Rupert Murdoch and

Turner BroadCasting,

maybe cable & Satellite fees)

Maybe rurual and still not

broadband compatible,

like PatchAdams in West Virginia,

now sporting a stump,

got MRSA and amputated

(multiple times) to stay alive,

thanks the War Effort for

better protheses

not yet the 6 million dollar/

Bionic Man/Woman/Child...

 

But pushed that direction

each little move,

you see we have to go to

online, the PanDemic,

you need to enter the technological

age, see, it's a mouse, has a tail,

play solitaire, it's addicting,

but fun too, see not so bad,

the Trojan mouse approach...

first hit is free,

now addicted

porn was in there somewhere,

but we can't talk about that,

this is rated G/PG/PG-13+

 

on to fragging those aliens,

and they get realler each

passing of the turn/ clock,

time...

Zombies, Appocolpyse...

 

On the other side of the coin,

technical people, making it

easier, trying to help,

providing support....

Tech Support = TS

in it's many forms,

ToughShit, we can't help,

the kewl kids trying the latest

stuff, alpha testers, need to know

ahead of time what it's going to be like,

so know how to plan further out

for the masses, the 100 people,

thousands,hundreds of thousands,

millions WorldWide...

 

And so time marches on,

to senior centers, where an aid/

orderly/ Personal Assistant

rolls up the elderly to the machine,

no resistance, it's futile,

and prelude to snuff films

where the person has no control,

no objections, shut uf and take your

medicine,

rolls up drooling, reisisting, but

tied down, shackles, modern

as they are, can just control

the mouse, remote, can't go

backwards, like the war effort,

there is not retrograde,

march forward soldier,

only forward, charge!

 

DDay Invasion,

just past, and Father's Day

straight ahead...

Damn the Torpedoes,

Full Speed Ahead....

 

 

Well, in Zoom,

someone has to do the follow

on, someone on site, trying to get

it working, begrudgingly give

over the con/ control to the most

critical, and active, convert the

critic to be support,

well, tell how the controls work,

yhe menu to start breakout(s)

is in the bottom, ....

nope doesn't appea here

msart phone can't host,

try the desk/laptop, that works,

got a mnu item,

have to look at the interface,

packing up the rig/ setup,

even if not gotten owrking,

and the breakout is the online

peole 15 people, dwindles down

to a few, and some are duplicates

i've got two devices this laptop

HP HPProBook645In2018

running

Ubuntu2104DevelOnHP2021

a few gens/ changes over the years...

but what happened/

how did it go?

 

the crowds outside,

earphones/ buds on,

busy talking to online,

people come in behind

You Can't Do that,

this place,

it can't be like this,

I'm taking

 

and the Wailing Wall,

neighbors with pitchforks,

waking them, to shower at

4am , leave 6 am,

do errands, check postal,

see what is in the Big Blue Room,

take shopping carts left out along

the way, can't go further, things

are running slowly and

have to be online,

sure things to do across town,

but getting to warm,

going to be late,

shopping cart from a new area,

going that way, might as well,

(onlookers, see old guy stealing

shopping carts, must report old people,

they are stealing our way of life)

near police car, guess someohe

leff it for the guy/gal(s)

when they get out,

see, you have a cart,

your new home,

discharge to the streets,

saved your stuff, and have

a new model cart to live with,

NoMadNess, or similar

won an award

YouTuber to Millions...

made a movie, they now

call him Oscar, won one...

(Wants to talk to me?

reading / agreeing/ sympathizing

see we could have ended up like

him, but got out/ away

roaming free, instead,

next to BurningMan, gone

virtual...)

 

So the pitchforks are sharp,

teh people have amassed,

all i want to to after so much

conversion, the first online happened,

and tried a little Hosting,

a few minutes at the end,

try recording, someone missing

might have some thing for htem/ him,

but empty, maybe put in my own

room/ private Idaho,

to scream all i want,

been yelling at the screen,

talking back to the TV,

you see it's not ding what i want,

they don't hear, don't care,

just mute him

 

The crowd on the other end comes

across as noise, they are talking

all at once, can't see on this wifi

backbone who's lips are moving a blur,

big bodies and a few when not

looking up at the flourescent lights

overheads into the torture light,

can't shut eyes, get sleep,

when not the crotch shot,

put down, oh, don't know how that

looks, guessing some noises

are people jerking off,

can't tell, turned off camera,

might have missed the mic

in the excitement, rush,

to get off...

 

But another day in cybr space,

getting death notices,

someone didn't make the leap

into the other side,

fell into the abyss,

the cap, the divide,

can't leap that far,

donlt know where the unmute

button is, where/ what Mute

is, it's a 4 Letter Word,

like Selectively Mute,

ccan't talk some times,

most people their first meeting(s)

end up crying,  but men,

so we don't cry, (in public)

must save that for

safe environment(s),

but the masses turn,

sometimes like the world,

sometimes counterflow/

salmon up stream to spawn,

 

But we can't change this system,

we have no say, going the crowd,

the only option, it's forward or nothing

but forward is a ditch,a mass coffin/

grave, and they can't hear you

scream on the fall down,

because we didn't tell you how to unmute,

you can't figure it out, because non technical,

and there would be a problem turning

on someone else's mic/ camera remotely,

it's a privacy issue, can't do it for them,

that wouldn't be right, and busy with the

other people, talking away,

now the new doormat,

just listen, in person would be looking

for the new and quiet one(s),

sand introducing,p laying the greeter,

finding someone to relate to

the outcast

to the new guy/ gal/ girl,

gut this one turned badly

died on the other end and

getting death notices,

but we won't tell him,

it's his first Hosting,

and didn't know,

can't tell him anything

he has to figure it out himself,

in the middle of the night,

the next morning,

oh that is what they were saying,

we lost people serially,

people dying during the transition

technical too busy pushing,

getting it owrking, having it fail,

to notice the newcomers

the new guys/gals,

they fell through the cracks

in the system we advocated for,

and forgot where we were,

how we got here,

what we are about

partying at the merge

of the old and new,

but forgetting to welcome

and greet the newcomer(s),

those that need us the most,

and know the least, all the jargon

all new faces, and new stuff,

books/ online eBooks,

chats, how to get into the chat,

out of the flood of backchannel

mess, noise to others,

but the lifeline to some,

you see we lost another one,

TheShortOfIt

in a new form,

can't figure out how to unmute

like dial in *6 but hidden in the menus

interfaces different

depanding on how you are connecting,

don't know what all the other ones

look like across iPad/ iPhone,iOS

Android, DeskTop/ CromeBook,

etc, extrapolate, the ... menu

item and have to touch screen,

whitespace hidden menus

until you do something

lost in the shuffle/ celebration,

and the missed funeral(s)didn't

remember our lost/ dead,

passed Memorial day,

tried being quiet about it,

less morose

but not forgotten, just defferred,

, and like spell check,

get to it the next pass through...

Cycle around return to the scene

of the crime, neglect,

abandonmnet, the unmet needs,

of the quiet few, others self agrandizing,

no good job, jerry, congrats, thanks

in tech the problems/ shit goes

down hill, sure i'll help,

finally get some control,

see what the other side looks like

menus with power,

but find there's nothing/ not much

for these special cases,

teakes some time to figure out

what is missing, how to be

welcoming to low tech people

not wanting to be there,

don't know the things

we do  routinely and iwthout thinking

others may not know how to

unMute, turn on the Mic,

were is that symbol,

on my screen, i can't hear you,

haven't got audio connected,

it's just a picture,

and can't get sound,

have to connect to audio

thoruhg Wifi or Calling,

either way, takes bandwidth,

hope you have that Gig or better,

or whatever, DSL can't do,

takes for granted that it's tech

and others have it,

some don't or are new....

 

Oops, lost another one...

And this not so cheerleading

stuff is a downer,

instead of uplifting,

so brings mood down,

people can/ do relate,

but like a weight instead of a

lifejacket, people drown

while i'm venting

they are looking for oxygen

not exhaust...

 

Piping output, doesn't always

work, some need fresh air,

new environments,

and away from people

instead of into the angry

crowd gathered outside,

Wailing Wall Clsoed,

go home,

 

to the tune of

Another Brick in the Wall,

or One Tin Soldier Rides Away

exercise left for the reader,

after 5+ hours online,

without break,

start early

end late,

missed anohter one...

No good deed goes unPunished

like NoGoodDeedGoesUnPunished2021

just doing duty, what is in front of me,

i forgot to thank those i had roped into it

and didn't make it the next week,

likely comes back to haunt me,

as others did/ do the same...
