Guess that's the point I was trying to make. I never watched the nightly news until i was out of high school. Today we have access to everything, whether good or bad, every second of every day. I have two grown sons and i felt bad watching them go through school because they were tied to a phone at all times. They can't fathom what life would be like without them, as most of can't. To me , that is the reason it is worse today, it feels unhealthy at times. Off my soapbox now...
I thought the Smart Phone was going to be the greatest invention of the century - it's proving to be the greatest social disaster of the century. Generations who have no idea how to interact without an electronic tether.
These generations would have LOVED growing up without this albatross but it was not to be. Unhealthy is the correct description.
I don't have the answer but can tell you that my school teacher daughter has banned all electronics from her home for her 3 & 6 yr old children in an effort to return to the basics. I asked her if she thinks it will work. She replied she doesn't know but she HAS to try.
