No offense, but you are a little out of touch. I don't think the prevailing feeling is that it has no value just that the graphics getting better and better has lost its allure. The generation before ours was wondering why we would give up face to face social interaction of a complex board game to play pong. It is a cycle for which there is no escape. It does suck to be on the cutting edge of the snubbed technology, but such is life.
Why don't you tell that to the people I deal with then? I was paraphrasing the many times I have heard, "If I cannot do with my phone, it is not worth doing". I deal with irritated people because I use email instead ot texting, or twittering. They do not understand and tell me I am out of touch with how people communicate.
Now, you tell me I am out of touch because I am relaying how they have expressed themselves to me. So, only question I have is this, "Are you the rock or the hard place?".
