“And added to what you said, they just don’t know how to really communicate with people. Oh, they can text all day long but face-to-face, many are lost.”

IMO, relationships are why we’ve been put on this earth. I’ve recently learned about a new business here in town that stocks hundreds of different board games. You go there with one or many others and check out games and pay by the hour. This business is booming.

People still want to interact with other people - I know I do. So maybe the younger generations will figure it out after all. :-)

What a neat idea for a store! And it sounds like it’s fulfilling a need that probably exists everywhere. Maybe others will open stores around the country like that as time goes on. Sounds like it’s working to drag people’s noses out of their cell phones and actually interact with others in person.

I shake my head in wonder at people who go to restaurants, bars, and the like and spend the whole time with their cell phones out. They rarely look at anyone else in the room, even when they’re sitting with others. Why bother to go out if you aren’t going to converse?

Some things, I’ll never understand. Spending quality time with friends is something I enjoy, and meeting new people is a plus.
