How video games will help to euthanize grandparents.
Kelly, this is a frank, fascinating discussion of Arthur Boers and his analysis of how technology is in effect dehumanizing us. It is. For instance, since younger people are too busy playing video games to interact with their grandparents it will be easier for this generation to euthanize the grandparents, who are a category, not real persons, to the video game player. Your humble servant here has attended birthday parties for his nephews in high school and during the entire time they played video games. The rest of us visited with each other, the older generation. Why have a birthday party at all under such circumstances? You get the idea. Yes, technology impacts society, for better or worse. We need to be alert to this, as your discussion points out too. Thanks. Dr. Rux
