Disturbingly true. Phones, pads, tablets, games...they all contribute to the problem. When we finally cease all communication, I shudder to think of what will happen.

I wish some days that all electronic devises would go down for a week, just to see if we could figure out a way to communicate with each other without them. Just for a week. Seven little days. Then I want them back up.
