The singularity has come,
When minds can fuse into one.
Human and the Internet machine.
The cell phone is the key
To changing "we" to "me".
But is it a nightmare or a dream?

Privacy will be gone
For those in the throng,
From Google they never will be free.
The Net will know it all,
Their name, where they fall
In age and gender, no way shy to be.

For icing on the cake,
Every purchase that they make
Amazon will know and file away.
For hackers, that is fine.
They will ferret out the line
To make their phishing scams seem okay.

But knowledge will be stronger,
Memories will be longer,
For the fusionistas it will be a new day!
With all learning at hand
They will enter a new land --
Be it Eden or Hell? Who can say?

I've missed several jumbles, but I was able to solve this in 5:41 min. with a score of 750, good for me.

Pretty impressive, D4!
This one seems to me a perfect example of using the word so obviously avoided by the cartoon's caption,

Good for you, D4! For me the first three words emerged immediately but the last one had me in confusion! And I needed the letters for the solve. Finally, I made it to the finish line.
These Jumbles are a real mental workout and such a treat to read Owen's creative use of those words.

I thought your poem was really interesting, and a bit ominous, Owen.

And "we" to "me", but also "me" to "we"???

Went to the poem for the fourth clue word, but then, after a little thought the solution popped out at me. After the fact it seemed so obvious! Don't they all, though.

Fun Jumble this morning, and delightful poem, Owen. Like Sandyanon, I got the first three answers instantly, but got stuck on the fourth and just couldn't get it. I than tried to solve the cartoon and Yay! I was able to do it. That gave me the FIS three letters from the fourth item, and that helped me to finally solve it. You can tell I don't spend a lot of time on the beach _______.

Never realized that tomorrow's puzzle would at some point be attached to today's. Could be the difference between the mobile and the web versions?

Anyway, it's very timely.
