Because parents don't let their precious little snowflakes out the front door and today's kids have their nosed in the phones 24/7. A couple summers ago, our nephews came for a week. Everything we asked if they wanted to, their answer was no. Go geocaching? No because there are weeds outside. Go bike riding? Don't know how and don't want to learn. Radio controlled cars? No, that's outside. Play with the new litter of kittens. No, because the garage where their box was opens to the big scary outside. No, can't walk 3 minutes down to grandma's house because they might get fresh air. Archery, flint knapping, ball games, hiking, fishing, riding in the boat, swimming in the river or the lake or the nice clean clear swimming pool, roasting marshmallows, help with the bbq, fireworks, target practice, golf, mini golf, going to the cave, movies, out to eat, camping, going to the park, feed the deer, board games, card games, kinex building construction toys, etc. No, no, and no. We got fed up with them and packed them off their aunt after 3 days.

Folks older than me are addicted to those things....I am happy with my flip phone....I appreciate how wonderful it is to have a “Telephone” in my pocket.
Today’s helicoptered kids do NOTHING BUT screens. Has been that way doe the last 11 yrs or so.
