Kind of like the Yin and Yang of life.
I recall before television families spent more time together.
Before electronic calculators more peple could count,
and before cell phones and texting people communicated
one on one with each other more frequently,
and didn’t drive while texting.
We split the atom, and on one hand a good thing, but now we have concerns about nuclear holocaust.

While we're at it, let's not forget:
- Before electricity, everyone went to bed early instead of staying up watching TV or playing on the internet....and got a good night's sleep on their bug infested mattresses.
- Before the railroad and automobile, people weren't able to easily interact with different people & cultures...and be poisoned by new experiences and/or ideas.
- Before the wheel was invented, humans were in better shape...because of moving things around with only their muscles.
That danged technology...has ruined us.
