@mikerflinn@JackCuthbert@BBCBreakfast Yes, to a degree we were also protected by parents and grandparents. Now their answer is to stick them in front of said mobile phone or a tablet. Society in general has got lazy with the use of technology. I know that there is an off switch. Kids don't
@MaggiesTwitt@BBCBreakfast I have a Professor of a northern university that lives next door but one to me. She'll have a pretty good resume and cv no doubt. But she's absolutely bonkers. I'll stick with my school of hard knocks and life experience thanks
@Lilithsands@BBCBreakfast I agree, Mobile technology has a lot to answer for. Luckily we can scroll and ignore but younger ones can't seem to do so. Barely watch TV news nowadays. Its always depressing. I honestly wouldn't like to be a teenager today. I guess we are just lucky that way

We all had it tough for 1 reason or anoth
@dadiani_george He might have a double barrelled name and say long words, doesn't mean hes intelligent. His books are awful ๐. The Peter Principle has never been better defined than by him
