Virtual World
Skink thinks: my dad hates technology, he thinks that the PS2 is evil just because he cant beat me at Tiger Woods. In some way he is right, i remember once i was on my playstation for about 50 hours straight stopping only for a pee or something to drink and eat. I was nasty and tired and it made into something horrible. 2 days later my dad restricts me 6 hours a week and got me into sports instead, and its great, so things online gaming and PS2 and Xbox are fun, but they can be really bad if you use them too much.

Whatever happened to robots?
Skink thinks: We already have robots doing things for us, there replacing people in most manufacturing companies and places like that. Just imagine if we had robots serving us drinks and food, and we didnt need a human waiter or waitress, there would be even more unemployment wich would probably lead to other bad thing. I think people are just getting too lazy, maybe having a robot to do chores is ok but who could afford it, except for the ridiculously rich.

Ministry Of Truth 2006
Skink thinks: Politicians aren't expected to divulge the secrets of national security and whatever else is required to be kept from the public, but lying about policies and things they say they will do in order to get votes is plain wrong, it's blatant deception and should not be allowed so therefore, I think that giving them a polygraph test is not the way, but some other form of "interrogation" in order to see if their intentions are noble is a great idea.

SacredVermin thinks: ...As long as the campaign stays just that, I don't see a problem with both. And allyinscotland, I'm pretty well off, getting paid to help people with all the things I learned by sitting in front of a screen all day. And that PS2 let dad blow off steam in his shed instead of blowing it off on me. 'Sides, the games today to a better job of moralising and encouraging kids than a lot of the parents I know.

velocity thinks: I think children will do what they're interested in. The future is the internet and it only human advancement that the next generations are more sophisticated at an earlier age. That said, I agree that it's incumbent on parents to show that the world is a BIG place and that life extends beyond TV, games and on-line.

itssimple thinks: It's important to truly experience the world, not through a computer screen, but through your own eyes. Although it's important and even encouraging that young children are interested in technology, sometimes it's good to just go outside and play a good game of kickball.

Virtual World
Galeno thinks: The virtual world won't go away, it's with us now, and it will be getting more sophisticated with time. We see it not only in ego-shooters and many other games, but also in historical reconstructions, 3D movies, virtual agents that teach and sell, and in innumerable scientific applications. The problems do not come from the virtual worlds, they sometimes come from thinking that virtual worlds are all there is to the world! Kids that have great online relationships sometimes forget that there are also wonderful real people out there! And some parents sadly lose all touch with their children. The mother of the Montreal killer Kimveer Gill said that she knew nothing about his hate-filled postings on the Web. As the previous commenter said, parents bear the very important responsibility of showing their children that there is MUCH more to life than what appears to them through the biased viewpoints of virtual worlds.

allyinscotland thinks: As much as I think it's vital that kids understand and can use all the technology available now, i think too many parents use playstations, pcs, etc as a way of keeping their kids entertained with minimum effort. Then they wonder why their kids are social misfits, unable to communicate basic emotions. My own kids use a pc and ps2, but they also play sport and we do things together as a family. Even coming from a one parent family, my kids are happy, well-adjusted, outgoing and have plenty of friends. It's noticable that the kids who spend all their time in front of a pc, are the unpopular 'geeks'. (my 11-yr old sons description). How can a child grow into a healthy adult (mind and body) if they sit in front of a screen all day??
