    Perhaps in your life mate, but certainly not in ours, Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Being civil has nothing to do with it. I'm just stating a fact. And we all have some hardships in our life, no one is alone in that. Bob

    This is horrible, whenever I see something like that I feel people are just wasting their life's.

    I have 3 phone / technology addicts in my household... none can communicate effectively, the youngest being almost totally imcompetant... well beyond what an 18 year old used to be like.
    Only SWMBO has gained anything from her smart phone... playing on-line scrabble has indeed improved her vocabulary.... - and "on-line research" abilities..

    Nice quote, and may well be true but not a quote of Prof Albert Einstain.
    Just another email/web based misquote from someone stupid who wants to say something dumb but wants to make it sound smart and believable.

    Come on people, I hate my kids constantly on their tech devices too. But have some faith in our young people.
    One of those young kids might just be bolting and new heart and lungs into your chest in a few years!

    I'm sure they had surly uncommunicative teenagers long before cell-phones.

    After years of cajoling, reasoning and advice, I have given up trying to turn my teens from techno junkies into balanced humans.

    Then recently, I discovered by accident that I could maybe use their addiction to meet my goals!

    So now, when the young un's "don't know" how to fold washing, or cook pasta, or how to find a gift, I suggest they 'google it'! I even allow them to do it outside their 'screen time'.
    Limited success but I guess it's early days.
