True in the "good old days" but not so much any more. Except for the decreasing percentage of "normal" families, dinner table gatherings and conversations are disappearing. It is now "All great change begins on the Internet." An unfortunate example of that was the millions in illegal election funds raised by Obama on the Internet. A positive example is the influence of Free Republic and other such forums.
