Response to Laelth (Reply #6)

8. Yep, I have been warning my children about this disconnect.

If you need emergency help, you cannot get it on Facebook, yet my children are all over Facebook, and texting, and have no time to talk to their widowed and elderly Mother. Also, if someone is breaking in your house, it helps to know your neighbors. I have to ask them all the time, to put up their phone and actually talk to me. The real problem is their disconnect to their country and what is going on because of it. Our electronics have become human sitters, that allow us to bury our heads in data.

I am all for progress, and I love to be in touch easily, but I know when to put it away. Kids will text walking down the street, driving, and I am wondering if they google how to have sex. Just sayin'. The next handy device will be a phone that turns into a vibrator, so you can have sex with your phone as you text, or not.
