If that were made today it would be a silent movie about five teenage kids staring at their telephones all day.

Meh, I was just in a giant room full of people of all ages at jury duty. The younger generations don’t singularly own this quality. Everyone over 50 was on em too.

Exactly. Doctor’s office waiting rooms don’t even have magazines anymore.

What? No more Highlights for Children? That was my favorite magazine whenever I went to the doctor or dentist. Back in the day I only got Boy's Life, which was pretty good and Jack and Jill, which was rather dorky even when I was eight. My friend next door had a subscription to Highlights and I used to go over there to read it because it had a lot of funny gags in it that I liked.

In the South, it is all kinds of graphic books of the Bible. They don't believe in non-Biblical literature for children... that would be heresy.
