Oh the places we'll go

I was walking my dog the other morning when I came upon two young kids waiting for the bus.  They stood stoically next to one another, white cords dangling from their ears, eyes glazed over, staring dully into their screens.

I couldn't help but stop and think to myself what is happening to the world and how sad it is.  Here are two children of the same age, most likely from the same block, waiting for the same bus, going to the same school - uttering not a word.  

"Oh the places we'll go" - perhaps we better check back in with Dr. Seuss.
