“…Video games let them go into a world that is not controlled by adults, a fantasy world where creativity and exploration are allowed…” This is so true, I think it’s the reason why I’m still an avid video gamer now that I’m 23. Back when I was 7 my mom would always tell me not to go out because you’ll get hurt or you’ll get knee bruises or other kids would bully you. She restricted me into only going to school and home. At home my only source of fun was my personal computer and my PlayStation2 console. For a kid, it was my only means of self expression and more importantly my only source of fun.

Yes, games what that in the image, but influence children, and is very strong. Computer games very strongly influence mentality of people. That affects in their future…

Hrm, this blogware apparently requires quotes in html tag attribues. What I meant to say was that there are no children in SF

It kind of makes me realize… just how different New York is from most of the rest of the country. Kids there do go out and play. Kind of odd, if you think about it: it’s supposed to be the big scary city, but it’s one of those rare places where kids really do have that extra bit of freedom. It helps that you don’t need a car to go places there too… anyone can take the subway or bus to go over to their friend’s house, or even walk over. It really helps with the keeping of the sanity and the social skills.

Well, the other reason you don’t see kids around in SF is that we have the lowest per-capita number of children of any large city in the US. Something about the disappearing middle class…

Just a little comment, if any of find this topic interesting make it a point to watch Michael Moore’s ‘Bowling for Columbine’. Excellent film.

Heh, and here I thought the today’s perpetuation of A Clockwork Orange would be something like Trainspotting …
