PDA = Public Display of Affection
PDA= Personalized Digital Assistant

Why am I bringing this up??? Have we gone from one extreme to the Other? Talk to me.

We have gone from sooo much kissing and touching and hugging in public ... to
Digital Assistant Affection, where we have to go to school to learn how to TOUCH...Communicate FACE 2 FACE.
<>
This is SAD, because Two of our basic needs is the Sense of Community and Celebration/Play/Rest,

We have to teach our Young people the PROPER time to kiss and hug... , And for those who do not know how... The good touch and how to socialize in a Trusting Good way. If not they get caught up in very bad situations, look at the children being lured on line... It is not the Internet that is ALL BAD! It is what we are NOT teaching our Youth, we are afraid to speak up because we are trying to hard to be our CHILD's FRIEND... There will be plenty of time to be their friend once they are GROWN... (I would say 25 ;- ) and up... They are still pulling on your coat tail until then...

I do not Think Public Display of Affection is appropriate for anyone (Old or Young) in a Family or Open Social Situation (Kissing... Petting... Hugging Constantly) Especially if you are sitting with others that are Single ... and just there "Watching" // There is a time and a place for everything...

The same with Personalized Digital Assistants! I think it is RUDE to Text and continue to Text (or talk on the Cell Phone) while you are out with someone else unless you BOTH are involved (or Agree) in the conversation... PLEASE ! Get up and leave! Remember You teach people how to TREAT YOU!.. Even in a shopping situation, If the sales person takes a "Call" over you standing there personally ... Leave, that is RUDE, she should tell the person on the phone to hold on until she completes your transaction.
