James, I'm not sure what "Cjamge" of Routine means, but to address your question about teens in general today... I think they are different in the number of choices they must make each day. There is more danger in their world (whoever heard of a 'drive by shooting' in 1966?) The internet brings a set of problems we never dreamed of...instant messages, cyber-bullying, sexting. It was thought you could get a good job with a highschool education. Now it's not certain you'll get a good job with a college education. If we were daring and wanted to, the drug we experimented with in highschool was marijuana (if it could be found in suburbia) and beer, and perhaps a little LSD in college...nothing compared to the ecstasy and crack and crystal meth out there now. Our music was oh-so tame ("I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "Wild Thing...you make my heart sing...you make everything...")
Now the lyrics of songs can't be printed here in the family forum!

Yep...the times they are a changin'

I do think that the personal computer is changing everyone's lifestyle, and signficantly affecting the family.  I remember how we used to gather in front of our black and white television on Saturday night, after Saturday night baths, and watch several western shows (Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, and the Rifleman).  Wrestling was in there for 30 minutes also. 

Today, with TV's and computers in our different rooms, many families have lost that togetherness completely, except maybe for meal time.  Also, computers have speeded up the dissemination of news, and makes us work much faster.  Whatcha think?
