Interesting Point.

[learnteach]

When I went to school, High school, whatever, it was pre computer. No computer games, really; one TV per family and not that many channels. No CD's, MP-3 players, and magazines were more boring and more expensive compared to today.

In all ways, it was more interesting and more resourceful for me to be in school; it was more *entertaining* in most ways.

Not so anymore. It's a problem.

(One of many.) Thanks to Greg H. for pointing this out.

Ah, so the junk food of entertainment is preventing a full meal of knowledge? Bummer.

Sigh. I like cvirtue's observation.

The Walkman came out while I was in high school. The teachers used to complain about the kids being "wired", when of course, that meant something else entirely...
