What Invention Killed Society Today???

It is my belief that Television was the beginning of the end of society today. Before TV families had to sit around and get to know each other. People had there priorities inline bills, family, chores....

What do you think the downfall of society today is?

I don't know that this is the downfall of society, but when people are buying this, I'd say we are at least getting close to the edge...

I was at a baby shower last month. (What? They had beer...)
The mom had registered at Walmart and Target but some jackass went and ordered her a Snuggie anyway. She seemed delighted when she opened it but I suspect she was just being polite.

communication is lost within the family. I know first hand of a couple who were playing online scrabble with each other. One was in the living room and the other in the kitchen.
For some reason society has made people frightened to tell their kids to go outside and play......be kids. I remember as a kid I was always outside doing something....anything...being creative. And now others that were like me as a child have become SO creative that they took the "be creative" out of being a kid. Still trying to figure out when that happened.
10 year olds with cell phones that are racking up $800 phone bills by texting to their best friend who is just a phone call away and the next street over. I'm gonna get off track here soon so I'm gonna stop now.
Stay safe out there...but have fun.

I live there now, in a town populated by thousands of people and still growing, minimal crime, lots of family and community activities...and each of my children has a personal cell phone to use to call for help if accosted in the park or on the way home.

Well how about these things we are typing on, Our Computers...Lets see it has made Bill Gates a whole lot more richer and made us a whole lot more poorer when we have to buy one and not to mention the headache from viruses and spend more money to protect out investments from these kind-a things that some boone head set up as a trap or what he would call job security. Now im not saying I could live without mine, just that if we were not on here sharing our knowledge, the question is what would you be getting done right now if you didnt have one...
