We are in a season with technology that will force us to relearn that we, being created in the image of the Triune God, are social creatures who need loving and relational human contact to live fulfilling and successful lives.

Robots just won’t cut it. Perhaps helpful on the margins, but I fear some (or many) will conclude they can replace the need for human contact, particularly in caring for the elderly, disabled or sick, much to their detriment.
With the population/demographic imbalances in 1st world countries, it seems the need for robots to care for the elderly will be a near absolute necessity in the near future. Japan will be the hardest hit with this issue and will get to test it out first. Then will come European countries. The US a bit later, unless immigration solves the demo issue (projections say it will be able to delay it for another generation potentially).

At the end of the day, it will likely hit every country on earth at one point or another. But to your point - it means we need to rethink the multigenerational family model. It may be time to move closer to the latin/south american model of living closer to our parents...grandparents, aunts, uncles... and even having them live with us. The current model of nursing homes, etc will be even sadder once human labor is replaced by much cheaper and better robotic labor. But it's only a matter of time. So I agree we need to rethink our relational models to ensure the human component is strong, especially for our elderly.

100% agree with your last paragraph.

IF Mr. " Image is everything" would have had a good head on his shoulders, Agassi would've won a lot more Grand Slam titles. He never really got serious about the sport til Around 27 years old...

Was in TTL with my Dad, I believe after Watergate. Became good friends.

In college, our class was filming Sr Class project at the Carnegie. Fred was having a Cigar, in old Cigar lounge. Walked up, and introduced myself. We chatted. He invited our whole class up to his suite, and ended up saying some lines in the project.

Very nice person, very genuine.

Great guy. They dont make em like that any longer. Last Republican that got my vote.
I was a bartender at a restaurant in Green Hills during part of my college years. He always came in on Sunday afternoons. Had a couple of drinks and read the paper. Good guy.
