Oke oke I admit this might be the thread with the biggest cliches in history and I don't want to sound like on old man because I am young as ? but whats your opinion on the internet/mailing and such and how the generation which is born today(really today) will interact with basic emotions, love caring etc in the near future? . I mean with all the dating sites, social network sites and such? The kids of today grow up with a computer, stay indoors way more often, are less socially skilled (or are they>?) Are people becoming even more ruthless because digital communication is less personal?
Whats your take on this? Are brothers in the future doing marriage proposals via emails lol? are the people losing insight in human nature like textbook psychologists?

It can.. but this goes hadn in hand with the rap discussion.. Parenting. someone will articulate it further than i will but i will leave it at that.

I think most definitely. There has to be balance. Children are being turned into zombies. They would rather stay in the house than go outside.

yep. the biggest contributor to the downfall of human interaction is the text message.

there was a time not to long ago, where the ideas of females who were photographically expressive about their sexuality was still pretty taboo. Nowadays, ? , I can't even count the number of girl next door turned camera phone vixens that I have seen
and I am not one bit mad at it
I think this generation and on are headed toward integrating everything we do socially. Pretty soon a game is gonna be made so that kids don't have to leave the crib to go outside anymore
smh -
what exactly is "true" love?

Yup, we're are becoming more and more lifeless.
Everything about us is becoming virtual, a hologram. -
YES it is. Look at our kids. They just walk around and have their head stuck in a cell phone, or iPod, etc. Alot of this is the parents fault. ? me off.

chemicals in our brains
dopamine brings you together
oxytocin keeps you attached -

They already have....its called a "Wii".
And no lie, I was thinking how horrible life has become when I saw a group of teenagers in the mall walking together all with headphones in their ear. My first thought was..."what's the purpose in hanging with your friends if you're not going to talk to them" -

I have a Wii, I didn't know they had a game like that
word though
my sisters are like that too. It's easier to text them a question than to ask them from five feet away smh
it's a catch 22 with all this technology -
