what happen to the days when people of all ages kids on up went out to meet others? to go for a coke or coffee movies and such. you went to church or clubs bars other places to meet people to date. you called on the phone to talk you wrote letters. now you have to meet people on line and you text instead of calling email instead of writing. 10 year olds are swearing and being rude in public because they have no social skills. i seen on tv a few days ago an 18 year old put a stamp in the wrong place on an envelope we use to know those things at 5. we use spell check instead of learning to spell. people should try the old ways and be more social maybe the world would be a better place computers are fine for this sort of thing but go out meet people write letters call instead of texting. we have voices and brains for a reason we should use them.

over the generations we have devolved were technology has evlolved, were this is not the case for everyone, but the general rule is those who are smart are getting smarter and those that are not. well you can guess the rest. more and more people are relying too much on technology, why ? because its easier, quicker and not that expensive to go buy instead of doing it for yourself. calculaters as a example, my parent is a teacher and she struggles teaching basic multiplication, they can do it on a calculator, but not in there heads. as a personal view i belive it is society that has let down our generations. parents and schools are being restricted more and more everyday. were they would have the power to punish a child if they foul mouthed, they no longer have this and thus children are getting away with it. when i ws 8 i didnt want a phone never mind knew how to use one. i would enjoy running around the street with a football laughing with friends, were these days that football is a piece pf wood, the friends are a rival family, and if there phone doesnt work then the world will know about it. if things dont start changing soon then it's going to get a whole lot worse
