I understand that computers are advancing our society and that new technology is being created every day. But, i must say that i don't think that all these new advancements necessarily mean the end of a far more simpler way of life. I'm not talking Amish here, but i think a college student in today's world can survive just fine without texting, AIM or Facebook. (Or its equivalent) They will certainly still have friends and go out and carry on a "normal" life, perhaps a "normal" that has been forgotten by some. Just as the Romantic Period has passed, true Romantics live on.
