Quick observation, perhaps others have noticed
the same thing
Last week I made a site
visit to an after school center and noticed
something that surprised me a bit. A movie was
being shown to the children (ranging in age from
about 8-13) on a large screen in the middle of the
room...but rather than watching the movie, most of
the children were crammed together in front of
computers that lined the walls of the room. The
other adults my age were completely absorbed with
the movie, but very few of the children seemed to
be even slightly interested. I remember video
being a treat when I was growing up, and still
have a hard time escaping that mentality...but for
this group video programming clearly had less
appeal than the various computer games/internet
sites they were able to access as an alternative
to the movie.
Have others noticed similiar
behavior? I have several hypothesis to explain the
behavior that I saw, but I''''d be curious to
first learn if this was just an isolated
thing...or perhaps a more widespread
phenomena.
