Kids Now-a-days

(Directly relating to/ but not exactly what is talked about in.. my podcast.)


With computers introduced at a young age, video games played instead of playing outside, and kids with cell phones and tablets my generation is turning to be quite differently than the generations now.  How will this negatively and positively affect these children?  I'm not quite sure.  My television viewing was limited when I was younger; I played outside in the dirt until the sun went down and we were called to dinner. Now kids are inside all the time watching television and playing violent video games that I think negatively affects the child and influences them to do things they shouldn't. Video games are extremely violent as well as realistic. When I was younger the only video games my parents let us play was Donkey Kong, racing games, Star Wars games, Glover, Mario, and any video game that Disney put out on Nintendo 64. I still have the 64 and sometimes take it out. Still have not beat Donkey Kong; me and my brother are not even 1/2 way though with the game.

So what are your thoughts on video games and television at a young age?
