Do you think people had more fun in their lives in the past than now?

+its very unhealthy

@Thelovelylover: oops. Gotcha now... yes, many do choose to misspend their free time. But there are different ways of looking at it. Looking at a cell phones on the bus has replaced reading the newspaper (for example). And as John Lennon said “Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted" :D

@Salix75: yeah but they dont do that because they like it I think they do it because its more easy :/

@Thelovelylover: no, it was just as bad when I was a teenager, actually it's better than it used to be

@crossproduct: oh trust me I get that. People annoy the crap out of me.
And I despise talking on cell phones. You can't hear yourself talk and everyone interrupts and it's just awkward. Irl or texting for me.

@abe182: I did resist carrying a cellphone for years, because I didn't want to be a slave to it, but eventually work forced me. I prefer texting, too, especially the lack of immediacy. It's okay if I reply in an hour, meanwhile I'm doing other stuff. I hardly ever make actual phone calls anymore.

I live out in the country, and the Internet is something of a lifeline to civilization. I don't live in New York where I can find any kind of person I like.

And then they update their status saying,im bored 😂 throw your phone and computer then have some fun.

you can never fully enjoy life in a virtual world and locked in your room

@Thelovelylover: yeah [i]I[/i] can its just not the life [i]you[/i] could enjoy and that's fine.

@Thelovelylover: From my perspective, you can never fully enjoy life living in a city. You should see what the sky looks like on a clear winter night.

I think they feel lonely because instead of going out and make friends the sit on the computer and phone.

@Thelovelylover: I was thinking of the elderly and those that can't get out for medical and physical reasons. I do agree, there is life beyond the computer and phone.

Maybe, but I don't miss 1978 one bit.
