"I remember a pub off Grafton Street back in the day before mobiles Each table had a telephone on it You could ring the table from the telephone on your table and ask to talk to someone at that table If ye got on you could tell them your table and wave and have a drink ....or they'd hang up....pretty brutal with your mates sitting beside you laughing But sometimes they'd ask you to hand the phone to one of mates Wasn't life simpler then to get a shift " Jeez you are old | |||

"The so-called good old days are simply a myth; technology has opened up access to the world in a way that would have been unthinkable, unimaginable even twenty years ago. Isolation has been replaced by connectedness; connecting the dots now takes seconds whereas in the past it took months to make contact with women. Vive la difference!" It definitely didnt take months to connect with women in the 80's in fact it was a lot simpler and easier You were in a pub or nightclub you spoke to them | |||

Despite the numerous channels and platforms of communications, which are easily accessible thanks to modern technology, statistical analysis of data collected from mental health care establishments and professionals are painting a rather ominous picture that isolation and loneliness have been major causes of depression diagnoses. This is not an opinion, this is a conclusion based on anonymised data. | |||

This is not an opinion, this is a conclusion based on anonymised data." I welcome a respect your opinions; however what I am specifically referring to is the total lack of social life in the northern six counties from the late-1960s through to the late-1990s; from my perspective it was awful. When I lived south of Dublin in the early-1990s, I was flabbergasted at how citizens in the republic lead normal relaxed lives. I feel infinitely more connected to people now, and can relax and enjoy life. Unless you lived in the north you cannot imagine what it was like; I spent six years in Belfast and days after I left (to work in Dublin) a guy was murdered in my former workplace, following months of covert paramilitary surveillance on the site. | |||
