They're all growing so fast - we have enough technology crap that we don't need more to distract us from enjoying beautiful Mother Earth in all of its glory!
Just 30-40 years ago, kids used to play outside nearly everyday in most neighborhoods. Now, we hardly see any kids activity on any of the neighborhoods, except for perhaps the poorest of all the neighborhoods in the public housing (apartment rows) parts of the city - and by poor, I mean poor enough to not even be able to afford the old used PS2 at a Goodwill store. They're all riding stolen bicycles around the streets just as much as I did when I was a kid. Kids just a bit less poor stay indoors just like the rest of the generic American population.
Right now, I'm taking my family out! They're so damn addicted to computers that I almost literally had to drag them away.
I don't care about the 1080 much, but Rollo Jr wants it. He plays soccer about year round, and golfs as able. We get out fishing or hunting at least weekly, so I don't worry about him being a shut in.
