Good thread choice
Thanks dillydally. Hope all is well with you. I'm on the fence with this, I can't even answer my own thread question, laugh but I am interested in hearing everyone else's input. Maybe I will learn something and curious to hear other people's opinions/comments.

I don't think technology will be our downfall....its how people use it that will be our down fall...already socialization with people right in front of you and not on your phone is an issue as is communication skills and ability.....wave

Don't blame technology, because it definitely could be our salvation. Unfortunately the human condition (especially today) is drawn towards negativity, tribalism, cynicism, group-think, closed-mindedness and every other ill, technology could be used to cure. Now it's now being used to enhance, strengthen and spread those ills instead. A flawed society with equally damaged and flawed people could never create and maintain anything that's a 100% positive.

M4_Mischief: I agree....when I go out I leave my phone home so I can enjoy where Im actually gonna be....if someone would rather text when they are with me they can leave and text to their hearts content...I don't need to be present to sit and watch you text other people while not even focussing on having a convo with me....
Heard that sister!thumbs up
