[QUOTE="Weebarra, post: 742911, member: 60798"] I agree and i believe that a lot of parents are partly responsible, they have their heads stuck in devices checking what's going on and in turn kids see this and think it's the norm hence no one speaking to each other or doing things together anymore, i do believe there is also peer pressure to get their kids phones/devices to keep up with the Jones' and i think it is way too young (that may just be because i am an older person) and we played outdoors with other friends even though we had nothing, kids don't really do that anymore, they are playing games indoors because the parents think they are safer but that's not true. How do kids become street wise or learn to play and share with other people if they don't get to experience it. Even as an example - I had an appointment at the bank last week for a review and to see if my money (yes i have millions :emoji_money_mouth: of the stuff lying around... NOT) anyway, she kept going on me doing Internet Banking which i only use as a last resort and asked me about 5 times why i don't use their banking app. My reply was "No, i want some interaction with a real person, i like coming into the branch and actually speaking to someone" "Oh yeah but everyone uses the app these days she states, it's safe, it's convenient and it saves time" well not bloody me matey, i will keep doing what i'm doing even though i don't get as good an interest rate because i don't want an online product, that is almost blackmailing people to live through a device and really, until my little laptop can spit money out of the side of it then i will continue to use the branch. BTW- Denzel got it spot on .... pity i can't say the same for some his films :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: (The Book of Eli springs to mind, one of the worst films i have ever seen) Sorry for the rant and going off on a tangent on this thread, my apologies for that people. :censored: [/QUOTE]
