Ah, that is a subject for an entirely different forum, much less different thread.

Computers have unquestionably made for a more efficient society, in many ways. That is good. But smart phones and apps have also had a negative long-term effect, especially on kids I think. And "social" media has created millions of people who are anything but social, each person poring over their own little screen and oblivious to those around them.

I think I am one of about a dozen people in the US who does not text or use smart phones. But I am happy!
