Jonathan:

It’s pretty darn compelling if you have kids, & have to spend all your time

trying to stir them to do something — anything! — other than sit around in

a switched-off state waiting for the next flickering screen to appear.

Like Steve, I worry a lot about the zombification of life. When I was a

kid, if there wasn’t an actual blizzard going on, adults kicked us out of

the house saying: “Go play.” I keep trying to kick my kids out of the

house, but they seep back in. “There’s nothing to *do* outside….”

We are raising the first generation of human beings *ever* who think there

is nothing to do outside.
