[QUOTE="Lil, post: 654067, member: 17309"] That sounds very doom and gloom...if you focus on "the end" as opposed to "as we know it". In 100 years I think civilization will be different, but not over and I'm not sure that it will be bad-different. Look at all the things that have been accomplished in the last century compared to the century before. The 20th century saw huge leaps and advancements over the 19th century. I suspect the parents who grew up in the late 1800's thought that youth that frequented speak easys during the 1920's were going to end civilization. I'm sure that my WWII era parents felt that way about the Hippies and flower children of the 60's. For every Difficult Child in my son's age group, I know multiple "good kids", who have jobs, are going to college, getting married, buying their own cars and being typical, independent adults.
