A friend of mine last night texted me to say his Teenagers were going mad, apparently his daughter kept screaming at him that '' he must fix it now''.

He just said if you need to contact someone either text them or even ring them, apparently he doesn't understand.

I am so glad I am not young.

Pardon my ignorance but aren't all these sites owned by the same corporation? It wouldn't be a government led action by any chance?

Did your friend not advise his teenagers to explore the novel art of talking to each other?

We were in the pub at the time, and a good evening was had by real folk, talking to each other in real time.

Great stuff Andy. A while back, a friend invited me to meet the members of his social phobia group at his house. They were all sitting in the lounge, face masks on and instead of chatting to each other like we would, they were texting and very little eye contact, most of them from an IT background.
