Did anyone see the bit on CBS Sunday Morning yesterday where they were talking about how Grandpa would walk 6 miles to the fishing hole, Pa would walk a mile to his friend's house, but Jr. can't get off his butt because of all the Interwebbing/gaming/TV that he has available. On the other hand, in the time it took Grandpa to walk to the fishing hole, Jr. could "connect with many friends online" and presumably have a meaningful conversation/relationship.
Of course, this was not long after they were talking about how politicos will always have to do the face-to-face shtick because all other forms of communication aren't as effective.....
