Fourth Grade Writing Assignment

Without leaving home, I can see a movie.
On my laptop I can travel the world.
I can eyeball distant constellations.
I can microwave breakfast to dinner.

We need machines. Machines need us.
Let's hope technology continues
and continues to make life more interesting.

During the Industrial Revolution,
kids like me were worked like donkeys.
Life sucked. Factories enslaved us,
but technology can also set us free.

Technology surrounds us.
Them folk that prosper,
make the smarter instruments,
get the upper hand on them that don't.
