Remember When A computer was something on TV From a science fiction show of note. A window was something you hated to clean.... And ram was the cousin of a goat..... Meg was the name of a girl And gig was a job for the nights Now they all mean different things And that really mega bytes An application was for employment A program was a TV show A cursor used profanity A keyboard was a piano Memory was something that you lost with age And CD was a bank account And if you had a 3-inch floppy You hoped nobody ever found out Compress was something you did to the garbage Not something you did to a file And if you unzipped anything in public You could be in jail for a while Log on was adding wood to the fire Hard drive was a long trip on the road A mouse pad was where a mouse lived And a backup happened to your commode Cut you did with a pocket knife Paste you did with glue A web was a spider's home And a virus was the flu I guess I'll stick to my pen and paper And the memory in my head I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash But when it happens they wish they were dead!
