Culture Clash

Matt Sakey's excellent colum Culture Clash has a new installment, and here's an excerpt:
There's a Luddism implicit in the claim that technology in general, and video games specifically, are partially responsible for the decline in modern children's mental wellbeing. Kids are surprisingly adaptable – more so than adults – and they tend to take new advances in stride, only losing that ability as they age. Computing has fundamentally and wonderfully altered the way we live our lives. Adults are the ones who are freaked out by that, not children.

Matt is thought provoking as always, and you can read the full column here.
