    But of course…this is how everyone communicates in this modern age.  

    I’m sure the newspapers a hundred years ago reported an increased use of cars as compared to the horse and buggy.

    Here’s a quote from a doctor in that article from year’s past:

    “Why should I drive a car when I only get paid to ride a horse?  I mean, patients are lined up in their homes waiting for me to arrive on my horse.  In fact, the hum of a car’s engine would probably scare the poor patients.  And all that steel scares ME!” 

    Today’s doctors are like feral children found living in their own little communication wilderness.
