Games Teenagers Play Nowadays ; We can't go Back
Last Friday, being Good Friday, my elder son Noel invited 6 of his classmates to our house for lunch and some games.Nothing unusual about that, except that their games consisted of sitting around the dining table and playing a multiplayer online game very popular with the teenagers nowadays called World of Warcraft.They stayed for lunch and played for up to 6 hours at a stretch. This is the trend nowadays for online gaming is the accepted activity amongst practically all young men.
This contrasts with what I did as a teenager 30 odd years ago - swimming,club swimming competitions,playing table tennis,catching spiders,fighting these same spiders,karate practice - which I dreaded then and of course flying kites.
It was so different in those simpler and carefree days. No PC, No MSN, No Twitter, No Handphone, No Facebook, No connectivity.
I realise we can't go back to those days ever.
