Kids started played instruments and started bands when my parents were kids...though neither of my parents ever did that...my generation grew up with video gaming, and the social network of online competition. We do that, the same way kids played instruments and started bands. I play Mario well, and I play guitar badly, maybe this isn’t the best comparison, but ask me which one would I rather be able to do?
No doubt, Maci, time carries on, with or without us. The world is spinning awfully fast these days, and while I like to think that our place in it is informed by individual choices, so much of what actually plays out is about adaptation in the face of enormous social pressures. I worry, for example, that my son will have to choose one day between joining the teenage Borg and being all alone.
On the subject of gaming, which is entirely foreign to me, I was recently stunned to learn what a huge industry it has become, with some colleges now offering esports certificates and related degree programs.

I wish I could make music, but instead I play games.
