It is kind of sad how normal and harmless many parents today think that replacing paying attention to their kids, and making sure they have social opportunities whether they want them or not, with a t.v. and a computer is perfectly okay. Kids very much need to develop socially and learn about the world outside through personal experience. Abandoning them to their rooms, no matter how luxurious and well-equipped, is a very sad and lazy way of taking care of them. And so lonely and isolating for both the parent and the child.
