Face to face communication and online communication are not equivalent. We didn't evolve to communicate in ways other than in-person. When you remove the ability to see the person you are speaking with and see their body language, you lose something. When you can't hear the tone of their voice, the way they pause between words, their inflections, you lose something more. There is something very unsatisfying about this mode of communication.

I like the clinical, frugal nature of text versus other communication mediums.
Beats having to look at some of the idiots I encounter.

And then there's trying to figure out what the fuck people are saying when they use a noun as a verb.

Actually people do change and do act differently, a little over a hundred years ago people in the wild west could have a dual in the street to settle their differences. Technology has changed the way people act regardless of whether you ignorant mind wants to accept it. To say people do not act differently from a few hundred and even more a few thousand years ago.

People used to have to kill their own meat and there were a time when we were all hunter gatherer people, cavemen, etc . . . The more advanced technology becomes the more we will change with it

We still fuck, we still kill each other, nothing has changed except how it's done.
Human nature has, through history, overwhelmingly been consistent. You'se the ig'nint fool here, homeboy.

Most definitely.  When I got to college I realized I had no idea how to socialize with new people, had no game with women, and couldn't make new friends before I ditched the Facebook, stopped trying to pick up chicks via text message, and learned the skills that fifty years ago 13-year-olds had.

Uncivilized people kill each other, and of course we still fuck genius. That is how we reproduce. You are now making yourself look like an ignorant fool AND a troll by arguing such a ludicrous point. Any intelligent Homo Sapien who has studied the course of human history can plainly see that we have been evolving and changing ever since we have been on this planet and we continue to do so. . .

Oh but I apologize for assuming that you were of the Homo Sapien decent, you are more likely one of these:

DERP

Depends on why you use the internet, is it a substitution for real world social interaction or a replacement.  I don't see as many kids outside playing as when I was younger and I find that troubling.  Next generation is going to be a bunch of pussies, though I'm sure our grandparents said that about most of us.

Nope, human nature has remained largely untouched, regardless of how well we speak and dress.
We are motivated by primal urges and still act on them to this day. You can get caught up believing that all of the fancy ways we have to make life easier have somehow changed our base nature, or you can be smart enough to see how we are still very much the same.
By the way, people who spend all of their time calling others ignorant are the sort of babbling retards who are too stupid to have much knowledge besides an intimate memory of the smell of their own asshole.

I never see kids doing the shit I did when I was a kid. Maybe the Internet has occupied their time, but I think in this particular case, it is the media sensationalization of every possible danger that a kid may face. Parents don't let their kids out of the house because they will be kidnapped and sold into slavery within seconds.

Kids need to get their fingers dirty. They need to occasionally get hurt. Thats how kids turn into adults. Sequestering them away into perfectly planned blocks of time is going to create high achieving social retards.

Well whatever it is its sad.  When I was a little kid everyone in my neighborhood would be outside everyday during the summer.  Its like now all these pricks are dicking around on their computers and playing video games.  What the hell is wrong with the parents?  My dad would tell me to get out of the house on nice days.

I loved setting the little green army men on fire, making neat lines with all of my hot wheels, and demolishing Lego cities.
Good shit, right there.

Maybe you were an ugly child, and he wasn't worried about anyone wanting to molest you?
