What do texting, video games, and rock and roll have in common? "They" say they're bad for you.

Great post on Gizmag today about video games and the benefit thereof. They are on to something. The great too-washed They, usually anonymous accusers hiding in the shadows, say that things such as music, whether it be rap or rock, plus texting, plus video or computer games are, somehow "bad," when in fact what all of those things have in common is that "They" don't identify with any of them. They either can't do them or think that these activities are bad for other reasons. The media then hops on board and all of a sudden there's a snowball effect. Time will tell, but it's pretty clear how things will turn out, i.e., against "Them."
