Death of Common Sense

[kokopup]

To quote Einstein "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen".

With Television, the internet, and the cell phone being our new teacher how can
our young people develop a sense of anything. You would think all these things would bring about more enlightenment but it seems to be failing. I know my two Grandson spend their whole life dedicated to one of these devices. I try to get them interested in the outdoors and other worldly endeavor to not avail. I often give one of my Grandsons a ride to somewhere, but having a conversation while riding is not possible because he is texting the whole trip.

Good God, don't mention cell phones. My 17 year old daughter wears one like an earring.
