I just watched the documentary on Netflix. It certainly makes you want to throw your cell phone and your computer in the garbage. Person to person communication and interaction has greatly changed since we grew up in the 50s, 60’s and 70’s. Prior to computers and cell phones people were forced to communicate with each other in person. This made longer lasting friendships and you were forced to learn conflict resolution. That’s what’s wrong with our country today millennials and people in their teens and 20s are learning things through social media such as Instagram TickTock and Facebook. Some will say that today’s young people and people in the future will be of great benefit to all this high-tech technology. While that statement is true you also completely lose touch with person-to-person interaction and the quietness of just sitting down and reading a good book.
