What happened to the times when kids were not overweight? When you had to go knock on your friends door to see if they were coming out instead of a swipe of a screen, selfie or video message to see ‘wots happenin’
Society has become reclusive. All of these tools we have been given to help us connect are doing the complete opposite
Yes. You can speak to auntie Jane in New Zealand whenever you want or buy spiritual beads from the foothills of mount oogooboogoo on eBay but when that 5 mins has passed. What happens then?
You go back to your smart device to find something else that helps the brains release endorphins to keep you happy.
As a society, community or even Nation we need take a step back from Technology and get to know your fellow man or woman.
Most people these days don’t even know their neighbours names. Take some time to interact even if it’s over the back fence while moaning about the weather.
Get your kids outside. It’s coming to summer buy them a ball
I must be making myself sound a lot older than I really am but what has the future got in store for us.
Will we ever need to leave the house?
