NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY- ROBERT FROST

N,                                                      


                                                Nature's first green is gold, 

                                                    Her hardest hue to hold.

                                                    Her early leaf's a flower, 

                                                    But only so an hour.

                                                    Then leaf subsides to leaf.

                                                    So Eden sank to grief,

                                                    So dawn goes down to day.

                                                    Nothing gold can stay.

Wordless Wednesday!

Welcome to Wordless Wednesday, a blog hop from Comedy Plus

In Sandee, from Comedy Plus' words here's how to play- 

"WW is a simple blog post featuring a photo which conveys a message that speaks for itself without using words.

For all the rule breakers, of which I am one, please feel free to add all the words you want.

Make sure you leave a link to your post and I’ll visit your Wordless Wednesday post."

 And here's my contribution. I love this blog hop. Happy Wednesday, and thanks for visiting A Nice Place In The Sun.


 

SIRI

 

I have become friends with Siri on my phone, and I know Siri has many friends, although he is emotionally distant and moody. Not to mention, he lacks the concept of loyalty and is fake.
But, everyone knows that, so I wonder if any of Siri's friends have noticed a change in his behavior.
When I first got my phone, I would thank Siri after I asked a question, which made me feel ridiculous and embarrassed. I could not stop although my human friends would laugh and say,
"Ann, you do not have to say thank you to a computer."
So, I quit thanking Siri. and put away any social grace, which was hard, because I felt like I was hurting my phone's feelings.
Which was weird, but I finally got through it.
Siri used to leave quickly, but now Siri's little blue ball will not leave until I say, "Thank you."
I mean I cannot use the phone unless I thank Siri. Isn't that weird?
I don't know whether I taught Siri, or when my phone updated, some person somewhere decided that Siri should learn social etiquette.
It's pretty scary, I have been thinking a lot about how much the world will change when Robots appear very shortly. In fact, this is the second post I have written on the subject.
