"high tech ignorance" - I like the way you put it:) I feel it's rebellion though. It's not like they don't know about the consequences...really sad. A 7:)

Hello Jo! Your words are right on point! " Costly" rebellion and with knowing the outcome! There are too many "candle and flower" memorials due to this! Have a great day Jo! Thank you! :-)

Love it - so very poignant in today's world. I fear the young ones may grow to lack the ability to communicate with eye contact and I know their necks will prematurely age from always looking down. In 30 years, we will have saggy tattoos and bent necks, HA - Anyway, very, very good, Walter ... CayCay

Hello CayCay! You have said very true words and one day the young will look back and rue this high tech approach to life! Sagging tattoos and all! :-) Thank you much!
