... yes, ... I think our lives have depended on "outside / stuff" to fill our minds ... I don't watch TV or play video games ... but I don't completely dismiss them either. I think it is just a matter of shifting our intentions. we can provide lots of education that nurture and cultivate children's potentials through TV and video games, unfortunately, they contain much junk instead so far ( sorry for being judgmental ) ... it was a several years ago, I heard from my friend that someone was making a video game in Japan that would lead children how to bring peace in the game. ... or tamagotchi which children have to keep taking care of it or something ( www.tamagotchi.com/ ) ... sorry, I don't know I never played that so I really don't know if tamagotchi does any good to children either ... entering the age of Aquarius, I don't think we can separate ourselves from technology ... yet, more creativity will be involved in our lives.
