Today is your day Boomer! Yesterday I was upset with younger generations who took potshots at some Boomer traditions....like still using a telephone landline! Today, it is me critiquing them. Does this picture make you cringe? Do these young people not practice manners, or....are the people they are communicating with more important than their table friends? Here is a sad statistic from a survey of 42,000 young people: "The study found 23% had behaviour that was consistent with an addiction - such as anxiety over not being able to use their phone, not being able to moderate the time spent and using mobiles so much that it was detrimental to other activities."(BBC News) This means almost 1/4 of young people are addicted to their cellphones! What else? "Such addictive behaviour could be linked to other problems such as stress, a depressed mood, lack of sleep and reduced achievement in school." Oh boy. Boomers, let's all put down those phones and live life to its fullest! Cheers!!
