      We had Minecraft and Lego as kids as well and still played outside a lot. I thought that mix was still mostly normal, is it not?

        They widened the roads, increased the speed limits, and made the cars bigger and more blind.

        So kids died, a lot, and parents banned going outside unaccompanied. Kids got tired of asking mum’s permission to go to the park like a baby, and just played video games instead.

          That and the third place is being and has been turned into a place where you are expected to buy something(food+drink and merch)instead of just enjoying yourself and spend time with friends. There’s nowhere for kids of any age to go that doesn’t charge a fee to get in(some parks), doesn’t have rules against talking(libraries), hasn’t been made obsolete(malls, arcades), or is unreligious.
