I get where you are coming from........technology has influenced so many things, things we could never have dreamed of...but whether life is truly better because of them....well, some things are I suppose. But I wouldn't swap my childhood for the ones that the children of today have.

when we look back at our childhood, and the things we had then, and were happier! would we have felt the same if we had to worry about a mortgage or rent, the leccy and gas bill.
Some things I wish were still here, but I am glad I dont have to put my bum on the bottom of a galvanised bath in winter, or having to take a shovel accross the yard clearing snow before I can perform. (sorry to put that vision in your head)
