BINGO!!! When I was a kid we didn't have cable and didn't even have a color TV until the early 70's and the TV's only had the local channels. We didn't have computers and we were outside after school until dinner time playing sports. Then if it was summer we went out again to play after dinner. On the weekends if we didn't go somewhere with the family we were out playing again! The kids nowadays have too many opportunities so sit inside - computers, video games, cable/digital tv, big screen TV's, DVD's, VCR's, etc. We didn't have those when I was a kid in the 60's and we were soo skinny you couldn't put weight on us if you tried. Get the kids out of the house and into sports or outdoor games and you won't see huge kids anymore!

Oh, one other thing - WE WALKED to places that weren't too far!! We didn't get rides everywhere like kids do nowadays!

You are just giving another deep pocket group for the lawyers and the "victims" to sue: video game makers, TV makers, computer makers, oops, I almost forgot couch and chair makers. They should make these so they turn off every 30 minutes, just before they give you a 5 minute lecture to get off your butt and go walk around the block. That's going to be the next "improvement", maybe they'll make them so a hand will reach out and punch you in the nose to get you going, or the couch or chair to throw you, to get moving.

Because of course human beings don't have brains, aren't able to figure things out for themselves, make decisions and take actions, without daddy government and thetrial lawyers telling them what to do.
