Erma - TV was referred to as the boob tube and the screens are getting bigger and bigger. The handheld devices are referred to as gadgets and are getting smaller. The mouth was used to talk but has been replaced by the talking thumbs. People used to greet each other, now only grunts from a person fixated to a box. Kids used to play with each other, now recreation is in isolation. Facebook has replaced face to face contact. Parents taught the kids, now kids are the parents. People used to save for a rainy day, now consumption is king. Is this a better world?
