I agree. Humans haven't changed, technology, systems, and environments have changed. Just two generations ago people grew up in one town, got a job, married, and died in that town. They had a network of extended family and life-long friends. Now, the extended family is near non-existent for most people. Friends are those you've made in the last 4-5 years, and chances are they'll all move away. Not to mention the alienation and anti-social structure of suburbia.

With the birth rate down, half of the extended family that used to be there doesn't even exist now.
