@il0venostalgia yes, for sure. I am not against tech but it's moving too fast, and we are not looking at the ramifications of that. The smart phone is one of the most amazing inventions ever, but it is seriously hurting this young generation. As an educator I see it every day.

@fjp6657 Don't be so quick to blame the teacher for not intervening in this fight. Most states have strict laws that prohibit the teacher from touching a student. They could be fired or go to jail for doing so. Sounds crazy buts its true

Who remembers pulling up to one of these old gas stations? 3 attendants came out, one pumped your gas for you, one cleaned your windshield & headlights, & the other checked the air in your tires & checked your engine oil level. And gas was less than 50 cents per gallon!

My first paying job was driving an ice cream truck similar to this from town to town, selling ice cream bars to the kids. I was 15 years old & did not have a driver's license. Truck owner asked if I knew how to drive a stick shift. I said yes. He never asked if I had a license.

@TS_WorldTravel Okay article except when I got to the part about jump starting a dead battery. Your article stated that once a battery has been drained, it cannot be recharged & used like before. It will need to be replaced. That is simply not true. The cars alternator charges the battery fine.

@WowTerrifying Commercial planes fly on instruments, it's called IFR (instrument flight rules) Small planes fly VFR (visual flight rules) but can fly IFR if equipped. Landings are mostly automated as airports have automated landing systems. Instruments are more reliable than our human senses.

@JackMCostigan When employed an automotive technician, if we had a day that was -15 below zero, that was a day with gas engine cars being towed in all day as they would not start. And then the diesel-powered ones would have their fuel lines gelled up. Electrics don't have this problem.

@TheREALTeacher8 @OuizerTeacher I had a similar experience from a student today. He came to me and said his mother wanted to know how he could improve his grade in my class. I told him simply to stay off his cell phone and his grade was sure to get better. He said okay. Did he stay off his phone? No he did not.

I took my grandkids to a toy store & told them I would buy them anything in the store with one condition. It had to be made in America. After over an hour of shopping the only thing they could find made in the USA, was a box of Crayola crayons. Most of the toys were made in China
