I’m going to share a quote from a good friend of mine. Basically the the the thread was about what what kids today will not and cannot experience what we did as kids. Mostly summertime activities. Roaming the town unsupervised, stupid stuff with our bikes... pranks... anyhow here’s a post by my buddy quoting me.
If this is considered off topic, mod’s please delete.
Point of this post is primarily to illustrate online vs. brick and mortar and what we are loosing as a society. Enjoy, hopefully....

Isn’t that sad that our society is isolating itself? Generally speaking I think it’s because of political correctness. In today’s society you don’t want to offend your neighbor by whatever and cause a possible continuous feud and than no one’s happy.
What we lack is the ability to accept other people’s views and opinions, well, at least some don’t. I don’t want to have to move this to the P&R section, so I’ll stop here.
Point of my post is the community I live in now. I know most of my neighbors and have good relationships with all that I know. My family has hung out with many of them, even hosted a brew day. My newest neighbors seem friendly, had a brief conversation Friday.”

“I believe it is just 1 part of a much grander scheme the government is trying to pull...technology has let us make contact with each other by staying away...texting has taken away social skills and the ability to interact on a face to face basis, and its only going to get worse...
you dont have to leave your house ever...if you work at home online, you can order all your food online and delivered as well as any product you need, you do all your mailing and business through..online...we have become prisoners by our own hand...can or will we learn from that?? that is the important question..”
