  1. 1. Who says society is in decline? 2. Where do these stats even come from? 3. Where is work on that list? 4. I like being online. I don't see much difference between commenting right here and now and chatting with a neighbor.

  2. Family, School and Friends have been replaced by sitting in front of a computer-screen/dumb-phone, so much for interaction with people huh?
    Yeah, I’d say that’s a problem with Society
