I can see hear too. In the past we could see adults, teenagers and kids that were playing in a groups in any parks or in empty places near their house like allies or streets nearby.

But now we can’t see them. I’m sure they are at their homes or in coffee nets in front of computers playing games or surfing the internet. Or maybe talking or playing on their mobiles.

Nowadays even kids have mobiles and they spend their free times playing game on their mobiles. They don’t have enough physical activities and you know what will happen …

This is the era of computer and mobile. So you can imagine what will happen in the future.

Thank you, Jeff, the topic is very emportant to pay attention, because physical activities are the most important factors in our life especially our health.

You’re our saviour…”

When they are teenagers and are in school, they play in the team of their school, however, when they have grown and have left school they join together in a friends team to play in one of a many leagues there are around the sport centers.

My two sons, 29 and 33 years old, are playing football five (fùtbol sala) every weekend with their friends. I prefer they are playing sport team than they are playing video games.

From several years till this moment you can not find ever enough
young adults to form a sport team. It is something like impossible.

Children of my own childhood were always playing in the streets
but after the eighties it was really difficult to find children
that where playing football or similar sport games out from the
schoolyards.

Not only the “Angry Birds” or similar games but TV. watching
was enough to cut off streets playing or adult sport teams as
it was so common before the silly box was so popular.

Years before people or families use to be together playing
cards or table games inside or outside the houses, at the bars
or in the gardens, but even this nice customs have been
extinguished from our way of living….TV first, PC games, game
consoles, the web, chats….and so forth.

Progress has it costs for the best and for the worst, that´s the
rule.

Thank you Jeff, sure you use to play a lot being young at
your north Minnesota State.
In summer of course……in winter I think it has to be
a little difficult to be outdoors.
