Yes, you hear about this stuff but if you don't have access to
youngsters you really have no idea.. My niece's kids are 11 and 9
and for several years now when they are up here, she has to chase
them outside or they'd be laying out on the couch playing games on
their tablets all day long. And this is, for them, at the cottage.
You could understand it at their home but up here where there are
beaches and swimming and water sports and hiking and such..
