However the best line is: “Williams’ report treads familiar ground: Back in an arbitrary time period that predates our own, interactions between men and women were simple, the argument goes; advances in technology have led us astray of this most fundamental human relationship.”

I think courtship has never been simple unless it was arranged.

It is certain our children will live in a different world and it will be up to them to balance all the demands on their time and attention. It’s a good thing we only have to be responsible for how our generation dealt with our challenges.
