Why are those two problem


I would say the issue is not the content but the time being allowed for kids to play games. I had a pretty strict half hour of TV a night rule. Summer time no tv was allowed unless pouring and we rented a movie.

It's not contained to these two games but clearly fortnight is a good example of over indulgence without parental intervention.

If kids are not playing they're watching someone else play. A kid could say they're going outside just go find a local hotpot and go watch twitch...

It will be interesting to see the impact on social skills in the next twenty years. It's already apparent.

Any how, none of this was related.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to find people worth dating these days since social skills went right out the fuckin' window, and the "my special child" upbringing makes everyone who isn't autistic a nightmare to deal with.

I haven't had any trouble. You obviously hang out in circles where these people are commonplace.

The impact on social skills is currently being assessed as as great improvement.

Our constant connection to media means we are constantly interacting.

I've never seen any evidence that a game makes you more violent no matter how real it is.

If that was the case Football should have had kids tackling each other in the classroom en masse a hundred years ago.
