The lack of socialization is already evident in our young people with their virtual games.........it also infringes on their moral state........shooting an avatar or a person...no difference......no feelings.......
With all the now technology we are supposed to have freed up time and lessened day to day drudgery, but it seems now we have less time than previously...at least we perceive that..... Oh well I'll bet this same discussion has gone on I the past too.....watched downton abbey this weekend and one of the dilemmas was to bring a wireless into the house!
