Questions:

What do you think are the pros / cons of young (emerging) adults spending more time in this stage?

Do you think this is going to continue as a developmental trend in the future? Are you going to encourage your children (or the next generation in general) to explore more with less commitment?

What are your thoughts on the challenges of making friends as you get older? Have you noticed this in your life yet? How does Social Media complicate this process?
