But there are some things I do miss about "the day". How about sitting on the front porch and talking to neighbors as they walked past on a warm summer evening? I do miss having a car with a "stick shift" and when I find one, I don't like paying extra for it now a days. In all, I think we miss the in person connectedness we had back in the day. There's a social psychology theory that says the more technology oriented and tied we get, the more that little fella in the pit of our stomach yearns for some good old fashioned personal interaction. Guess it's about balance, like it is with most things in life. That's my story and I'm stickin with it. For the most part you’re right Dennis. But there are some things I do miss about “the day”.
