Oh, don't get me wrong. I agree with YOU. When I was a kid, I was at the DMV ready to go on my 16th birthday to get my license. I even took a day off of school to do it. Driving meant freedom and independence to my generation. The quality of that drive then became important as I gained experience on the road.
Today, my 16 year old could care less about driving or getting a car. Her socializing with friends, outside of school, is in large part virtual. That trend is generational on a global scale.
