The thing is, by replacing real, face-to-face relationships with superficial interactions on the internet, we're causing real changes to our brains chemically. What's worse is children with developing brains are going to grow up with these superficial interactions, and that is going to mean than their adult brains are going to have developed with lower neurotransmitter levels during the key periods of brain development. That's sure to make a serious difference in the level mental disorders we're going to see when today's children are grown up.
Adding to this particular problem are the overprotective parents that are keeping may playgrounds empty most of the day. The kids can only come out and actually interact with other kids on the odd evening that their lazy, overprotective and quite frankly frightened parent can be bothered to take them. We live at a time where bodily violence is at an all time low but most parents are fucking convinced that if they let little Johnny out of their sight for more than 30 seconds that they're going to wind up crying for the camera on the six o'clock news over their missing or murdered kid.
