You might have a point, but the TFR would definitely go up without the damn things. It's no wonder why the new generation are shying away from both marriage and if it do, from having children. Until they find a way to graduate from verbal/texting intercourse to the real thing, it's only going to get worse. But ignoring your date/mate all the time for smartphones is a sure damper on taking any kind of relationship to the next step.JR8 wrote:I think you're being an old fuddy-duddy, and presuming that everyone would be happier if only they lived like you did or do.
One could make a contrary point, that the prevalence of mobiles makes contact and communication an awful lot easier. I mean for example do you recall back in the day, the terror of calling a potential girlfriend for the first time and being faced with the probability of her parents answering the call, and giving you a mini-quiz?sundaymorningstaple wrote: You might have a point, but the TFR would definitely go up without the damn things.

thanks that's a good, thought-provoking video... Ironical though watching it on this blog page and the youtube window is immediately surrounded by two facebook share buttons, one facebook like button, as well as the blogger's request to SHARE it with everyone you knownanana wrote:Yes, I am an old fuddy-duddy.JR8 wrote:I think you're being an old fuddy-duddy, and presuming that everyone would be happier if only they lived like you did or do.

You're right, I think that video sums it up. It's so true. I have an iPhone but I'm not a serial user of it, so I guess that makes me a member of the old fuddy-duddy club as well.nanana wrote:Yes, I am an old fuddy-duddy.JR8 wrote:I think you're being an old fuddy-duddy, and presuming that everyone would be happier if only they lived like you did or do.
