Internet put an end to all that. IMO the internet reporting will be the next thing ending. Reports have slowed over the years compared to what it was in the early to mid 2,000’s. Guessing most reports are passed around thru texts to friends more now than ever.

Yep true that. Seems like if you want to get a response from someone 40 or under, even your own kids, send them a text. I hear Instagram and Tick Tock are popular as well but this Dinosaur has enough screen time distractions already. That reminds me, I'm going to call my daughter right now just to torture her
