Sent In By "Feivel in the Funkhouse." The Big Thirsty on Young People.

We had an unfortunate discussion in class today.

We had finished reading an essay about technology. The article says that young people are fucking their social skills by overuse of Facetwitter.

My students holler "P'shaw!"

I said, "I can understand using social media in order to invite a desired one to a meeting spot. But unless you put the iPhone down, how will the lovemaking commence?"

One wiseacre said, "We can do that on the phone, too."

And I said, "Not if you want to do it right."

Q: Do you think I'd be better off working in retail?
