Is Technology Destroying Marriage? (opens in new tab)

I don't know about marriages, but it sure seems to be preventing the next generation from bonding. We had a large family gathering recently. Four teens, all cousins, were amongst them. They spent nearly the whole day sitting next to each other, each engrossed in their phones, barely conversing with each other. This is such a generational switch in attitude that was hard to immediately comprehend as our generation used to be so excited to meet our cousins and nephews and nieces during such get-together or holidays (in fact, we still look forward to it). But for the teens, it was like just another day in their life, as usual, albeit with more delicious meals and the treats of lots of desserts.

technology has stolen ALL the money and the money has stolen ALL the property, so the physical space to raise a family is unimaginably expensive, and basic day to day stability is GONE for the vast majority of breeding age humans, the ability to act and take any controll of anything ,IN THE MOMENT,is totaly absent. so ? WTF? they cluster, and huddle with there phones, where for fleeting moments.....things look good
