The year is 2050 - Eric is at home with his mum.

Eric: Mum, why is there a rectangle in the wall?

Mum: That's called the front door darling. You can go through it to the outside.

Eric: What's the outside?

Mum: It's where people used to go before we had computers and the internet. They went outside to make friends.

Eric: I've got lots of friends. But not Luke. I unfriended him because he supports Everton.

Mum: It was different before Facebook. People met their friends in real life.

Eric: My friends were here last week for my party.

Mum: They were holograms dear.

Eric: I threw virtual blancmange at Jessica. He he he.

Mum: That was naughty Eric. People also went outside to go to the shops.

Eric: Like Amazon?

Mum: No darling, the old shops were like houses with big windows.

Eric: I've got Windows 26 on my third PC.

Mum: I don't mean... never mind dear.

Eric: Mum, will I ever go outside?

Mum: Yes darling, when you get married you go outside to find a new house to live in.

Eric: Oooh mum, how do you get married?

Mum: You click on match.com dear.

Eric: Oooh mum can I get married now? Please please please.

Mum: I suppose so darling. You are 43.

Lololol scary but woudnt surprise me if this has already started to happen.

I went around my best friends' house the other day and her boy had a couple of friends over for tea. All three of them were sat in the front room, not saying a word with their heads burried into their own Nintendo DS.

It is very sad and why I've said that I'm going to encourage my girls to do anything other than play computer games and watch TV.

It could have been a lot worse lommy.
The three boys could all have been practicing magic moves and flourishes. Stealing each others ideas, arguing in magic chat rooms, telling cheesy jokes and going around with inflated egos !!

and another scary thought.... in about 16 years time these boys will be looking for a couple of girlfriends. be afraid.
