re: Kids being raised by video games

My parents didn't let me have video games when I was growing up, my dad said it turns your mind into mush.

I had a Game Boy for car trips and such, but that was it. No consoles until I turned 16 and my parents let me buy a Game Cube with my own money.

Until then I had to create my own fun and actually play outside. Ride bikes, build forts in the woods, hike up the cliffs at the park, set off fireworks, tackle football with no pads, etc.

Do kids even play outside anymore these days?
