Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

It's Them, Not Me: Confessions of a Lost Soul in the Age of Technology.

This past Sunday's Zits comic strip definitely applied to me. Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman feel my pain through the father of Jeremy, a very typical hooked in teenager.

They're in a car driving to a restaurant. Jeremy is in the back seat with his handheld device.

Mom: "We're never going to find the restaurant!"
Jeremy: "I got it."

Jeremy: "It's 515 feet ahead on the right. It's a red brick building with a blue awning."

Jeremy: "The parking lot is right next door. There's an open space in the second row next to the 2006 silver BMW."

Jeremy: "And you're both going to order the halibut."
Dad: "Smart phones are getting a little too smart if you ask me."

This is plain scary. How do they do that. And, is it it a good idea to do that.
