With the passing of each generation or two comes the rise and fall of a great "evil" that is the root of all problems said generations face.
There's been free love,rock music. There was television then movies then the internet and pornography to name but a few. Now it is games that supposedly lie at the centre of my generations evils. The suposed rise in unsocialable youths is the result of to much time gaming as is obesity. Violent crime is caused by violence in games, failing grades and an uninspired youth is due to videogames and their drug like inducing addiction.
But it seems like more and more as with all the other "evils" before it the more widespread it becomes and the more people know about and experience it for themselves the thiner the veil of ignorance becomes and people see the light that actually its not really the cause of these things after all, something else is instead!! This seems to be just about to start happening now with games.So as gaming is teetering on the edge of acceptance what then i ask is going to succeed it as the next "big evil" for the next generation or our children??
Of course i hope that as it is us who grow to be the generation that defines these evils we will look back at this foolish pattern which has proceeded us and just except people are ultimately responsible for their own choices but i think that seems a bit to rational to be a likely possibility....
