Getting a haircut yesterday, and there was a teen at the chair waiting for the stylist. He was flexing and posing in the mirror- for the perfect social media pic. Every ten seconds he looked at his phone. Then he'd go back to flexing to get the best angle for a pic. Back to the phone. This went on for a while. I envied the teen. When I was his age, we didn't have instant communication with others. I can see where it could be cool, but it could be a bear, too. But that's their world, now. The human hand has evolved to hold a phone. Would you like their world?
 

Like everything else there are plusses and minuses to being a kid today vs being a kid back in the 60's and 70's.

While today's internet and electronic gadgetry are cool, there seems to be no more innocence of childhood. No more Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn days. Kids all have access to knowledge of everything. There's no mystery or romance in the air anymore. Everything is contrived, mass produced and formulaic.

Even the movies are just slightly different versions of past movies. There's nothing original anymore because everything has been done already.

Or maybe that's just the way it looks to me.
 

I prefer to have friends I can easily recognize and have honest memories with, not the "friends" of todays generation that can walk right by you and not know who you are. Conversations in real time helped you truly know who you were dealing with, instead of the thoroughly thought out, edited, sanitized phony interactions of today. A law should be passed for the sake of todays children that they be disconnected for 4 hours during the day. Sleeping wouldn't count..... :nicethread:
