Thanks Les,
I know, I heard this morning on TV that young people now spend 8 hours a day on their personal digital devices. It will be interesting to see how this all affects growth and development, but at a great risk of sounding grammy-ish, I sure wish young people will learn to find soulful interests. I'm sure things will all work out in the long run. TV and the automobile, electricity and all……these new-fangled contraptions…..like my laptop, and cell phone, and GPS collar for my dog….

Your well written post reinforces my opinion that there are some fundamental differences between what I knew growing up and what I see in my son and his peers. They have so much more pressure on them at school to succeed and are submitted to constant testing and evaluation. They also feel as if they must constantly be entertained either with TV, internet, video games, Ipods, etc. They do not know the simple joy of doing nothing.
