We were just talking on Woodcentral how fewer and fewer kids area actually doing anything outside the computer. This is right up their alley. Funny.

Yeah......gave me a chuckle too! :D

We do have a problem though.......It seems that with each passing year, less and less of our kids have any connection with the physical world.

Lately, I've been hearing public service announcements urging kids, and their parents to consider High School sports.......It would have been unimaginable to have to advertise for school sports recruits 50 years ago.

Certainly, there will be benefits to humanity's total involvement in computers, but many of us are wondering about the costs involved.
