Site was down when I tried to post Yahoo report on Tuesday, but I'm sure more than most heard it on radio/TV & have talked @ it at work/school/college/shops/cafes/pubs etc



Briefly, I feel he's partly right & partly wrong

He'll have come across to many as a cranky 'grumpy old man making a mountain out of a molehill'



Does he just have a deaf neighbour with a loud TV?

Is he exaggerating for effect?

Has he not got a date for Valentines?

Is he the epitome of the soundbite generation dilemma he berates?



How far has 24x7 mass media age dumbed down all of us?

Young more than mid-age & OAPs?




Isn't it true that we have all always learnt & recalled more of what we see than what we hear?

Any power-point-presentation fans out there?
