The Superhighway

A Poem

By Kourtney RisherPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

Life is an information superhighway, varying in speed.

It buffers when the connection to its source slows.

Life is exhilarating at 135 Mb/s.

The data is infinite, flowing in different directions

and streaming throughout time and space.

We are a cpu holding the processor

containing a limited amount of memory.

The information can fry the chip if we ride the Superhighway for too long.

We follow the stream that fills up the right amount of memory

and seek the data that keeps our processors healthy.

Beware of the viruses that float on through the Superhighway,

for corrupt data crashes the system.

The superhighway is infinite.

The memory banks, however, are not!
