Thank you Mr. Creosote, yes it is not suppose to be taken literally.
RN, If you keep your phone in your bag as you say, I would hardly think you are representative. I know a fairly large amount of people in this age group. If I want my daughter (who will soon be in college-if she goes) to behave, all I have to do is threaten to take away her phone: actually, I don't even have to threaten.
It is also probably true that the title is not the best one. That was meant more as a jumping off place than a lens through which to see the poem. I thought of "Digitally Aged", but that seemed to cutesy. So I am open for suggestions.
As always thanks for your comments,
Dale

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
