If you read articles from previous decades about the previous decades before them, I think you will find yourself a Crawford after Crawford. Woody Allen in Midnight in Paris nailed this. Statements like &quot;People used to talk to each other&quot;, &quot;People used to meet up and enjoy company&quot;, &quot;People used to know real skills and critical thinking&quot;, are all false. This generation might stare and screens all day, but communication is easier than ever and people are communicating. People may not know how to be motorcycle mechanics, but they know how to develop programs, build electric drives etc...  I strongly believe we have a capable and driven society, and the people are not &quot;drunk on there screens&quot;.
