Yesterday my wife traveled by train for 3 hours. She had three neighbors 50-60 years old. They had a fun 3 hours discussing interesting topics. In the evening my wife called me and I learned a lot of useful information. For example, that live river pike has fallen in price to 2 dollars per kilogram, that hares do not eat carrots from our large farmer, etc. And I know that many students were traveling on the train, they did not talk to each, they were looking at their smartphones.
Children today are going to be the most knowledgeable idiots in history.
