The problem is that, according to USAToday.com it is really affecting restaurant sales and other businesses that rely on you to SPEND MONEY.

Are you becoming a super-cocooner?  Do you think this is dangerous?  What are we teaching our kids- that it's just safer and cheaper to stay inside and not connect with others socially?   This could be serious if we don't pay attention to this, don't you think?  Would love to know your thoughts!
