I’m a knuckle dragging cave dweller when it comes to cell phones, computers, etcetera, a true analog man living in a digital world. I’m just not that interested, but I do text message back and forth with my 30 year-old son and 23 year-old daughter. Mind you, I have never been on Face-Book (not interested in pictures of people’s cute children, grand-children, cuter pets, gossip, etcetera). Car Talk Community is my only social media. However, my kids, because of their ages use social media to find out what’s happening around them, do all their shopping, banking, and everything.
Yesterday, my son indicated to me that he feared for the future of society when he read this conversation in a very local social media network in his neighborhood. This conversation was started by a female teacher, car owner. He forwarded me the actual screen-shots that I have written here. I have withheld names and other identifying information. Enjoy!

This is your insurance agent. This will be a comp claim with a $100 deductible.
Give me a call when you can.

Thanks (agent’s first name here)! Obvs should have called you earlier!
What do you think? Is there anything to worry about regarding our societal evolution as it pertains to cars, car insurance, and car repairs, and our education system?
