At our game night recently we had five or six teenage boys come over to the house to hang out. It was a lot of fun, and we enjoyed eating waffles and the making waffle ice cream sandwiches at 10 o'clock at night after playing a game of pool in the basement.
One of the interesting things I noted was that when they came to my house they didn't knock on the door. They texted my son to let him know that they were there at the door. And then they just stood outside while my wife sat in the living room waiting for someone to knock.
This new generation has not been taught what we were taught. They've been raised looking at screens and programmed by people who want to addict them to their products.
They don't reply to personal text messages. They don't commit to anything until the last minute, and even then they tend not to commit to it they just show up.
It's a new time with a lot of the new rules in society. It's a puzzle because in order to survive there rewriting the rules and making things different.
I hope that we can adapt together.
