![]() "Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... Computers are the effect, not the cause. Kids resort to computers because just about anything with the slightest element of risk is now forbidden to them. Everything that requires movement or strenuous exercise or being away from constant supervision for more than a few minutes or involves any type of insurance or liability (which covers practically everything) is no longer an option. They live with their parents in a state of fear of everything, and about the only thing that carries very little risk is playing with a computer. Oh yeah, roller skates, bicycles, pogo sticks, 4 wheelers, skate boards, BB guns, fireworks, baseball, football, RC airplanes, swimming pools, lawn mowers, sling shots, go-carts, coaster cars, mini bikes, unicycles, play grounds, tree swings, pocket knives, pet rodents, water skiing, horse back riding, calf roping, and many others - have been outlawed for participants less than 21 years old in the United States now for gosh, how many years MX, I don't even recall. Actually children that lock themselves in a room with a computer, and use it for nothing more constructive than running flight simulator, and pretending to be something their not on the Usenet, are actually few and far between. |

They don't have to be outlawed to be forbidden. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
