Of course we can laugh when our parents and grandparents (or
even we) reflect on the “good ol’ days” when life was simple and children
played in the yard, made fun out of anything they could find, and spent minimal
time in front of the “boob tube” and even less playing video games. But even if
television, the media, film, computers/internet, and video games aren’t
necessarily bad for children and teens, give some thought to what they are
missing out on by spending so much time with these everyday “outlets.” What
might they be doing instead and what might those other activities do for their
mental, emotional, and physical health? Have we lost touch with human
interaction/communication on some level? Have we come so far that it is too
late to get some of that back?
