Thats why its a parents re-spon-so-bility to make sure their child dosn't go off course, like spending ALL their time playing vidio games. don't get me wrong, vidio games are good for body and soul (reflexes, release of tension and the joy of winning and just plain fun) but only to a point. what good are lightning fast reflexes if the muscles are too slugish to respond IRT.

Everyone should have a computer, everyone should have internet access and be allowed the time to learn to use them well. without these things your not even in the running in todays world but they are not an end in itself except for people like us.
