This why I think kids are getting obese
It's not the computer or technology. That's just a symptom of the real cause. The real cause is fear. Today the media has put so much fear of abductions into people that they don't let thier kids outside. Not being outside means less exercise.

When I was a kid we were up at sunrise and outside all day till dinner time. The parks were filled with kids. We didn't want to be inside. Now kids are forced to be and what can they do inside? Video games, movies, computers, and such is what they turn to.
