opinion? Well, my opinion is that children of this generation do spend far to much time in front of screens. I have seen that as the technology becomes more and more advanced, we as a humanity are fragmenting ourselves. Devices like phones and televisions consume the minds of our youth and they distorting communication skills. These electronics also in my view strip people of their pressious imagination.

I lived in a nice town, with a lot of nice people. I also did not have an alcoholic for a father, so me connecting to the show did not seem likely. That is until, I got a closer look into the problems and flaws of all the Gallagher children. They made me happy, they made me cry, they made me laugh…
