All of the above.  I felt for Jerry Seinfeld the other night, some young star wanted to hug him and he said "no, thank you".  When questioned said he didn't know who that was.  I get on the elevator at the office and every other person is either staring at or punching at their phones - who in the world are all these people talking to all day every day??  I just don't get it.

I find it funny that this girl thought anyone would want to just spontaneously hug her!   Uh ... why?   lol

Every year, Benoit College (WI) issues a "mindset list" for each incoming freshman class.  Things like, Ferris Bueller and Sloane Peterson's kids are college age now.
