Technology / Social Decline

[Goose]

Flipside, technology has also created the opportunity for people to communicate about niche things they love (Wests Tigers for example) with like minded individuals, keep in contact with large amount of people and show interest in their lives (with far more than possible in person)

how kids play has changed, but that is not just technology. Society has changed, safety is more of an issue, both parents work now, and kids are often in after school care, they are often playing outside, but at a school centre. People are busier in general.

There is a lot more organised activities, I see kids riding bikes with their parents alot, and there is still loads of kids playing sport and stuff.

The world changes, and we like to look back nostalgically, but there is loads of things that are heaps better now.

Well said Goose. Some things are better. Modern technology has helped us, with wonderful breakthroughs in science and medicine. Our health ( mental and physical) and quality of life have improved. Humans, are staying healthier and living longer.
Animals, marine and plant life have also benefited.
We've advanced in leaps and bounds in engineering, mechanics (space travel) etc.
The past and present are all connected. The past helps us move forward into the future.

I'm concerned with drones being available to the general public.
I think pedo's could get them and use them to spy on children in the neigbhourhood, etc.
Scary thought.

Also saw on the news some dude uses one to get aerial shots of the beach…
great pictures.
But what's stopping some other weirdo from doing the same thing to get photos of people at the beach.

Let the feds and whatnot use 'em to keep people safe and keep em away from general public.

Talking of drones , did anyone see the blokes in WA using the drone to locate school of long fin tuna off the beach , dropping baits and catching massive tuna ??

The footage the drone got was brilliant as well

Throwing bottles at buses will come naturally to a West Ham supporter :laughing:
Then there's Caxton street … Plenty to do being a Wham and Red neck supporter !
