When we go out as a family or on holiday I make my lad leave all his gadgets, I'm seriously considering knobbling his xbox.. taking the fuse out of the plug so the thinks it's broken for a while... is that mean?
He won't even open his curtains lately

I reckon taking away that stuff for a while every now and again is good for them

If people only communicate online with friends then they obviously have the wrong type of friends. I'll online usually talk to them online when we're planning to meet up and it's usually a brief time and place type messages.

I don't think you know the evils of television glare



It's caused many a video game death

You need a Secretary.


I am not worried about FB
Smart Phones for Business

I just refuse to have any new friends, or any friends really - i have the odd old good one and i am not recruiting. facebook and twitter can feck off.

I guess a lot of the subtext is flirtation and attracting mates really

But he talks about when he was a kid he went to the park and stuff but time has moved on now, he makes it sound that we use technology all the time

Part of that video
was used as the 1st story
on the Adult Comedy Hour Red Eye Fox News
(for UK online only) on at 3AM USA and 8AM UK online
a Texas lady said it would not sound good if she said
the words.
Another said he did not need a Brit telling him how to live
but a nice looking lady on the panel
said its got some good points

Personally I think the poem is awful and basic. But I admire his point and agree, so many people disengage from people face to face but yet have more to say to them over an email/FB.? Go figure.

My absolute pet peeve is when I am out for dinner with friends and they sit there playing/texting on their phones. I find it so ****ing rude and make a point of asking them to not to do it. One friend carried on once so I just walked out of the restaurant and went and met other friends.

He's probably right. Compared to when we were all younger (myself included, god I am old, lol) there was not as much technology around. Most kids/teenagers didn't have mobile phones, computers, internet, etc.

The more people use these things the more it absorbs their actual real social time, which is a shame.
