[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 654070, member: 1550"] Agree with you, Lil. Didn't Socrates say something gloom and doom about the next generation? I think the next geenerations will be different, but keep on rolling. I don't think videogames and technology ruined civilization. I even let my kids play videogames and none of them ended up in jail and any problems they had had nothing to do with videogames or technology. My biggest techies are Sonic and Jumper, neither who have ever broken any laws or gotten into trouble. I think it is an excuse because it is unfamiliar to us, but this technology IS the future and will get more advanced. I mean, I'm sure when television first appeared many parents said, "Our world is done! Television!" Probably the same with radio. It's catastrophizing. (I hope I spelled that right). On the other hand, I do think for a far future we will have less close families, less control over our adult children, and more cut offs of family. Family doesn't mean what it used to when mothers stayed home with their babies to be the biggest influences on them. I did that. It was not vogue to stay home at the time, but my kids would not see daycare. I think it did help. My daughter Princess is doing it and there is a huge difference in both her happiness and intelligence between her and most babies her age. She definitely feels the love (and gets it from so many sources). My other grandson was put into daycare at six weeks. His mother worked there but still. I think it's a bad idea. Daycare is so expensive, why not just save your money and stay home? That I don't get, however, my opinion be danged, it is going to contnue. Parents are often single parents now and have no choice. And this, in my opinion, is very detrimental to the kids. Far more so than Super Mario Brothers. These kids are not being raised by their parents and are spending a lot of time alone at home sometimes as early as elevin years old. To me, that is a huge problem.
