Prof - but I think one of the deteriorations is lack of contact, kids with parents, neighbors with neighbors, family the works - the alternate balance is we get to talk to a wider spectrum of people over the net, phone, workplace - is there a happy balance?

to the 'family values' Mr. Major was so keen to impress upon us. The 'kids' today are fully empowered with information readily available to them that their parents often don't have so if information = power then suddenly the power has shifted to the computer literate younger generations and those parents who still only see computers as a thing off Tomorrow's world can get 'blinded by science' (like a "l-a-s-e-r" - Austin Powers) and the kids get a superiority complex and their parents REALLY DON'T understand them.
This is of course only true in some cases, it's impossible to speak generally about it but in a lot of cases it's true, thus increasing the usual amount of teen angst and rebellion to new and worrying levels.
