My wife and I have also noticed a trend where teenagers are not eager to get their driver's license. We could not wait for the DMV office to open when we got our licenses.

Now kids have no desire to get behind the wheel.

Some of the drop off in Movie attendance has to be as a result of this.

Add to that big screen TV, home theater sound system, cheaper snacks, safer and quieter environment, less disposable income (if any at all) you got yourself a real depression in the world of entertainment.

That said, wonder what attendance is at sports events and concerts?

drivers licenses and cars and insurance cost money and fewer teens are working as they would be competing against adults and illegals for fast food jobs
